[@anjafink8996]

@@gidget8717 The GUM has always been a luxury mall. That means it was way better equipped and much more colorful and shiny than regular shops. Every socialist country had at least one luxury mall in the capital to show off. Foreign visitors, especially from capitalist countries, should get the impression that socialism is as capable as the western world when in comes to providing for the people. The shops where people really went shopping were plain, rather gray and depressing and had not nearly as many products as the GUM. Many things were scarce and hard to get. In socialism the companies belong to all people, so there was no competition between the manufacturers. Therefore the products as well as their packaging was very simple, not fancy and shiny at all. There was no need to enhance products to make customers buy (more). I grew up behind the Iron Curtain too and I experienced the same as those Russian neighbors. The first time in a western country I was so overwhelmed by all the colors, beautiful packaging, the mix of smells of washing powder, chewing gum etc., that it made me vomit when I came out of a supermarket. 😃

[@anjafink8996]

@@gidget8717 I grew up in the GDR. After the wall came down I lived in West Germany and for a short while in the US. After many years in the West I'm back in my home area now. In the GDR (former communist part of Germany) life wasn't as gray, dull and dangerous as western media usually made it look like. Like you said both systems have their pros and cons. Capitalism is based on competition and communism on community. So manufacturers in capitalist countries have to compete with many others who produce the same product. In communism however the goal was to provide for the people, meaning to produce only the amounts that are needed and that things should last as long as possible to save resources. That's the reason why our products and their packaging looked rather plain and not as colorful and maketing-designed as western things. And we didn't have such a vast variety. There were only around four types of coffeemakers on the market, only one type strawberry jam on the shelves and only three main washing powders (for white, colored and sensitive clothes) etc. So of course there was no need for giant supermarkets. Things like hairdryers and mixers were built to last for decades. Some of those items are still in use today, 30 years after the GDR existed. So this country was kind of accidentally environmental friendly. The industrial plants were not, of course. Luxury products were very expensive but available. Exotic fruits and generally things that could not be produced here (because of the climate) like coffee and cacao were often hard to get or of lower quality. The shops didn't look as beautiful as nowadays because it was not necessary. No perfumed stores and hardly any ingredients (colors, aromas) in food that make us buy more etc. West Germany was a shock with all its bright displays and scented things, plus the huge variety. The US topped even that. So much artificial stuff and aggressive marketing was just too much. I enjoy today's possibilities but I miss those long lasting appliances and to having to choose from only 3 or 4 types of a product is definitely healthier for us and better for our planet than having 80 types of each thing. All the excess and cheaply made stuff only lands in the landfills or pollutes everything when burned.

Soup & salad combo sounds great, with a small pie & small cake for dessert! Very nice to see a clean mall with good lighting. Also a kids room sounds like a good idea. Kids get restless when on a long shopping event, so a place to play with other kids seems like a good idea!! Prices seem very similar to US prices, but to be honest most malls in my area of Los Angeles are more expensive then this food court in Russia. Also the food looks clean, well prepared & very healthy as well. Good job my friends in Russia!

[@earllarrabee7026]

I have been watching these videos the past 2 days and I find them VERY interesting. I am working on a digital project where I am building dacha's in the Russian countryside. I am from the US and I needed to do some research to make sure I am accurately representing the architecture and landscape. These videos have been very helpful (especially the one where you are shopping for pre manufactured Dachas. I have been watching the videos about life in the towns/cities surrounding Moscow. One thing I have noticed is how different the towns and neighborhoods develop in Russia compared to the US. Around Moscow it seems that new neighborhoods (8-30 story apartment towers) consider all the things needed to sustain that neighborhood, department stores, cafeterias, doctors office, playgrounds, etc. If a school doesn't exist yet, there is one soon to be built, oftentimes right in the center of the apartment tower complex. Even the department stores consider things for everyone, the cafeteria, the kids area, etc. Russian neighborhoods are communities in every sense of the word. New development in the United states is completely unlike this. First you would never find a store like the one in this video anywhere in the US. Ikea might be the closest thing we have. New neighborhoods are often nothing more than a sea of 1 to 2 story houses connected by sprawling winding roads. Schools are likely miles and miles away, and if you are in a suburban or rural area of less than 10,000 people, you are lucky to have any grocery store, and even more lucky if that store sells fresh produce. You will never find cafeterias, large seating areas, kids areas that are monitored or all the other necessary amenities people need. Instead, you might see McDonalds or some other unhealthy garbage in a separate building next to a gas station on the same lot. Everything is soo sprawled out, it is nearly impossible to survive without a vehicle. Car breaks down...tough. good luck being able to do anything. I feel there is ALOT that US developers and planners can learn from this. Thank you for sharing!

If I use coupons here in the USA I can get most of those meals for less or have a free iced tea or coffee with them. People all over the world are pretty much the same. They sell for the crowed they are trying to attract. Some sell high, some sell medium and some sell low. I can go to any nations and find food affordably.

I certainly enjoyed this particular chapter. The food looks tasty, but you mentioned that you would give us a recipe of how you made a certain dish. I must have missed that. Could you possibly post that here?

May I ask where you learned English? You speak English better than a lot of natives. Unless you have Russian relatives, there is no opportunity to learn Russian in the United States. Other than your videos , do you have American friends so you can practice?. I think you videos are extremely informative and we all thank you. You should also be making some Russian cooking videos. I dream of making buffet dinners every Sunday with a different culture being presented every week. There is a large Russian population in South Central New York State and there is still a very large one in the boroughs of New York City. I live in Arizona and there is only a couple of churches that celebrate Feast of the Epiphany as their Christmas. Lots of churches in the area of New York State where I come from.

You live in AZ too? I am in Tucson and i'm learning Russian.

[@margaretkearsey734]

@@martharetallick204 I live in Phoenix and they have a degree in Russian at Grand Canyon University which is only about 5 miles from me. I am retirement age and don't don't anyone Russian so it wouldn't benefit me,

Lovely video and a sort of melancholy reminder of simpler, pre-Covid days!
