Still is like that in places. We moved to Western MA 7 years ago and our town didn't have Internet access. No WiFi, no cable, no fiber optics. Just land lines and a few areas with cell tower signal. 3 years ago we got hi speed internet by pooling money with 3 other towns. A few houses are off grid completely though. Not because they're preppers or anything. It's just too expensive to run electric to a few houses a mile off the main road.

I was brought up in a working class home in northern England in the 50s and to be frank, it wasn't any better than is depicted here. The Russains had awful winters but much better summers, and probably consumed better food than we did. My home used coal for heating, hot water, and most cooking - we had a small gas ring. We didn't have a fridge. My father had a BSA Winged Wheel, which was a bicycle with a small two stroke motor attached to the rear wheel. We didn't have a tv until the early 60s.

Just some info on religion: The Soviet State didn't teach religion, it taught the state doctrine of atheism. It also spent a considerable amount of funds on atheistic propaganda. However, the state always allowed for a degree of religious activity. The severity of religious repression expanded and contracted depending on the time period. Throughout the lifespan of the Soviet Union, the fact that religion was frowned upon by the state apparatus made attending church undesirable if you wanted to get ahead in Soviet society. For example, if you went to church regularly, you would have trouble getting into the Communist Party. This is one reason that those who attended church were often elderly. Not only were they more connected to the pre-revolutionary days, but they also had far less to lose by going to church. Of course, there were also devout communists who were ideologically atheistic. Some might be surprised to know that religious persecution was greater under Khrushev than under Stalin.

@Markov092

Life in USSR was in many ways much simpler than it is now. It was simple to get a job and make enough money for a pretty comfortable life. The wages might seem low in comparison to US, but the goods were much cheaper, so the average wage was actually better than in US if you compare them by purchase power. The biggest challenge was getting your own appartment, because hundreds of thousands became homeless due to the devastation caused by the second world war, however this problem was partially solved in the sixties, when the country started building a lot of cheap five-storey appartment buildings. Getting a new flat was still hard (it demanded a lot of time), but definitely not impossible. Cars were also somewhat hard to buy, because you had to wait in a queue for several years to get one, however there were ways to buy them quickly but at a much higher price (we’re talking 5 times more expensive). Everyone had a stable job (incredibly stable by today’s standards), a good salary, cheap housing and complete social security. No matter what happens, a soviet citizen was always sure he won’t starve, because they could always get a job, some food and a roof over their head. Some people didn’t even bother with getting any material posessions, they would get a job at some factory, eat at the factory’s cantine (for free), live in the factory’s common housing (once again for free) and use all of the money from their salary to go to theaters or cinemas, buy presents for their fiance or just store the money to use it in retirement. The life of a soviet citizen was simple but stress-free, because whatever happens, you’ll be fine. Personally, I prefer the modern life, because of the greater opportunities, but it is very clear to me why so many people have so much nostalgia and love towards the Soviet Union.

Of course, only it was not Finland itself, but Karelia - a region of the Russian SFSR, inhabited mainly by Finns and cockatiels to this day. Especially from 1940 to 1956. in the USSR there were 16 republics - the Karelo-Finnish SSR (after 1956 - demoted to the status of an Autonomous Republic called the "Karelian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic of the Russian SFSR". Karelia still has a similar status, being one of many autonomous republics within the Russian Federation.)

Forget the egg, forget! 😄 I ate Borstch one thousand times made by my Ukrainian Wife and she never used any egg. Nor anyone she knows. The main difference when making Borstch lies in using meat or not. It will last longer with vegetables only. You always include beet, and you do normally add a spoon of cream for every plate, just before serving.

I grew up in 80s USSR. While footage is old, the fact that state owned everything continued to shape lives all the way to the end. State had more property and production in 80s but also more ppl.

Christmas in the USSR was different from Christmas in the U.S. in that Soviet citizens did not see the holiday as being about a new car in the driveway with a ribbon on top. By not allowing religions to have a role in popular media or economic planning, the Communists were actually preserving a certain purity of religion that capitalism in the U.S. defiled.

Cuba uses the Libretta system to this day to distribute bread. If you read the Libretta it tells you a whole lot more than the prices of bread - it gives you a glimpse into life under communism. The Libretta shows hand written amounts on a daily basis indicating how many loafs were issued. In essence it shows that a family member had to line up every day to get their next day's ration. .

Depends on the medical care...

IN a friggin's hospital-- NO HOT WATER. Their most famous rocket chief designer, Sergei Korolev, died of a botched hemorrhoid surgery in 1966. Speaks to the level of medicine available even to their "best and brightest" citizens. Universal healthcare today barely works... got diagnosed with cancer?? Well, they'll schedule you to see a specialist-- in SIX MONTHS. Maybe he or she can schedule you for surgery or treatments six months after that. By that time you're dead or might as well be. Oh well... just how it is. Course, this "half mandated gubmint "universal" health care" where your "free" to choose from which predatory crooked insurance company that doesn't want to pay for anything anyway you get to choose to get your MANDATORY insurance coverage from, while going to get health care the insurance companies don't want to pay for (but try being late on a payment you owe them LOL:) and everything is "out of network" or "doesn't meet the deductible" or "isn't an approved procedure" so the doctors, hospitals, etc. all send you bills for more than you could make in seven lifetimes, isn't exactly working worth a d@mn either...

Oh really, how's that?

Had the communists in the USSR, after Stalins death, slowly allowed personal choices to expand, small businesses to be created & expand, allowed for farmers to sell crops which exceeded quotas on the world market, exported goods and imported goods, and placed a high priority on keeping stores stocked, we might see a USSR rival any successful Western European nation today. Socialism without Capitalism is what caused their Union to collapse. Much the same way Capitalism without socialism led to the financial disaster in the USA called the Great Depression. One can not support itself without the other. It took socialism for the USA to dig itself out of the Great Depression & keeping those social reforms in place to prevent another. But without a free market economy you simply don’t have the capital required to fund such. The old Soviet system was one where only those who broke their backs overproducing were rewarded & not rewarded with much, which hardly made the effort worth while. While the party elite were rewarded simply by managing the people. The Soviets in the 50s had every opportunity to excell at microchip & computer technology which was crucial for the USA in their race to the Moon & has proved to be the backbone of their & all their allies economies to this day.

12:25. The average price of a loaf of bread is 37 cents. In the United States in 1958, it was 19 cents. The Soviet price is about 94.7 percent higher than the American. Of course, it would help to know the size and quality of a loaf, and the range of prices. And, of course, the American government didn't limit where bread could be sold and didn't forbid making a profit on it. Almost all bread sold in the United States was sold at a profit, meaning the production cost was less than 19 cents a loaf-but the Soviet price, 37 cents, is supposed to be what it cost to make the bread.

If you ask just about any person that lived in the Communist USSR you will hear that yes all of the media was censored and controlled by the state, life wasn’t always easy and there were periods of various types food shortage but no one went hungry, not everyone was able to afford more then 3 pairs of shoes at a time but the 3 pairs they had they loved and took good care of all the time, and yet having to live with all these set of circumstances people were genuinely a lot happier, safer, kinder, honest, trustworthy, reliable and responsible, hardworking, adaptable, adventurous and outdoorsy, and just overall satisfied with their accomplishments and the lives they were living. There were no homeless people in USSR, because everyone could get a job, the government found everyone a job, if needed they built a factory, or moved them to a nearby town/city, no one had medical debt or struggled paying their credit card debt or had their bank foreclose on their mortgage and kick them out to the street. Such things were unheard of and unknown to them! Crime was at its lowest levels compared to anywhere else in the world, and people felt safe, their kids played in the nearby park with other area kids without need for adult safety supervisors. Every person stopped and helped anyone that was in need without any fees or anything expected in return. My parents are from USSR and they tell me all the time how they miss the environment and the different atmosphere between friends, neighbors, family and people in general.
