@@mellocello Which means there's a thriving black market for carrots catering to the millions of Party members who *aren't* paid in certificate rubles. So...better have some Certificate Rubles or western currency - Deutschmarks were popular -, but be careful because possession of either could land you in prison if you're not that high up. Or you trade something you do have. Cured meats or other vegetables from country relatives' backyard gardens. Moonshine from country relations or friends in the Air Force. Or random stuff the wife picked up and brought home (because Soviet housewives *always* carried a shopping bag in their purse), not because the family actually needed it, but simply because a store had some in stock and it could be traded for something you *did* need. What passed for an economy in the Soviet Union, especially during the Brezhnev era and after, would have most medieval clerks (closest they had to economists back then) tearing their hair. Oh, and don't forget to check the date of manufacture of anything you do get. Beginning of the month is probably OK, but end of the month means the workers are rushing to fill the quota, and have installed screws with hammers and not bothered to hook up internal connections.

They're not so forgotten in my experience - i've spent all my childhood in Russia, st. Petersburg. 2 out of 4 flats on parent's story had rack locks, including parent's door! Few facts about these locks usage: - Those "bolts" you've unscrewed at 0:53 tend to screw themselves in - and required manual adjustment (slight unscrewing) from time to time (few weeks) - otherwise locking mechanism were tightening up, making unlocking the door way too hard - key itself was uncomfortably large for a key, but doubled down as an improvised wood saw :DD I remember sabotaging my teacher's chair leg by rasping it almost in half while she was away for a break - closing/locking the door from inside meant that you pull springed lock rods, close the door almost to the end, release rods and then proceed to fully close the door - at which moment rods LOUDLY springed back into slots, making it the loudest locking mechanism i know

as a person in Ukrаinе, i can say that we use this locks almost exclusively with regular locks. the ratchet one is more like internal heavy-duty latch that is shielded from weather and has at least *some* pick resistance. and the regular lock on top can be much smaller because only the ratchet lock holds the weight of a door

People were payed by what they have produced and there was no online boards to sell that, some "entrepreneurs" collected the goods that people was payed with and selled them somewhere with some profit. Some stuff was produced unofficially

I remember these from my childhood - they were quite common in the 80s Soviet Union. Some variations also had a sort of a pin or a lever at the back of the bolt on the inside of the door, that prevented the bolt from sliding back and thus making it impossible to open via key or any non destructive methods from the outside altogether since the bolt wouldn't move at all. Some also had a plate that could be rotated or slid over the backside of the keyhole, preventing the key from going all the way through and thus preventing the bolt from moving all the way across - which functionally prevented the door being opened from the outside (via key or otherwise). The most common usage was in tandem with other locks on a door - it was pretty much standard practice to see at least two locks on apartment doors, often you would see three (two deadbolts and one of these). Not sure of it's pick resistance, as we were very young kids at the time and weren't interested in that - but it wasn't uncommon to know someone in your school whose key could open your door (or vice versa). Likewise, it was also common for kids to try disable the thing permanently while trying to open it with a friends key (or sometimes their own key) and having it stuck half way in. Come to think of it, I think that was the most common way the lock stopped someone getting in - they would try to open it with a makeshift key or something similar, and it would get permanently jammed in it. Don't think I heard of anyone using a carrot though (but again, I was very young at the time).

These were popular/produced during the 90s in the post-soviet conuntries and primerally used on apartment building entrerance. So having no security isn't really a problem if the major application is to prevent drunks from pissing on the stairs/hallways/elevators. First time I see padlocks with this construction though o_0. Ukrainian "reverse-rack lock" somewhat reminds me of another popular lock from the 80s-90s that was primerally used on garages (which were build as metal boxes near apartments or as long rows of brick/concrete garages with the shared walls). These were so called "falling key" locks (замок с падающим ключом). Key had a swinging part that were "falling" inside a lock when you fully inserted the key. They also had very simple construction.
