Memories of USSR - Daily life of Russians in the Soviet Union | Part 2

[@kesar23]

I think, that there are some important points, that are missing in the movie. And these facts are really important for understanding. Like the fact, that all those people, who are shown in the movie (workers) had big savings in soviet rubles. There were not many things to buy in USSR, so people kept all the extra money on their bank accounts in the government bank. And it should be said that hard-working, diligent and talented people always had extra money, although the salaries were not that big like in western countries, there were a lot of activities and services free of charge (education, pleasure, sports, and many more). But with the fall of the USSR, all those huge amounts of money were used at a short period of time as a starting capital for privatizing all those plants and factories, and when the property got into private hands, fast and huge inflation immediately turned all those savings into nothing. So millions of people got into a situation, that they have NO savings at all as they have never worked and never made any savings. So millions of ordinary Soviet people, who had no business spirit, who couldn't synchronize their state of mind with the drastically changing situations around them, when the state with all its functions and reliable status quo has immediately vanished, no work, no money, no respect, all their life and believes were claimed to be false, so all those people just became poor, disoriented, completely lost in the unknown world... people from other countries can hardly imagine what it was like, the devastation of a strong big society: so you should understand that in 70's and early '80s Soviet people lived a very GOOD life with almost no problems concerning criminal or drug problems, services like education, medicine, social and sports activities were on a very high level and were free of charge or really affordable. There was corruption an all the modern city problem but in general, the whole society was so to say in a situation of fair sharing of countries wealth, and yes there were so many troubles of this kind of social and political organization, but still, people used to it, and they felt secure and looked in the future without fear. And they couldn't imagine that the period of transition into capitalism will turn out a nightmare with millions of crashed lives, and millions of simply dead, post-soviet countries are still in the period of long transition and it is far from its ending.

[@nortfishlsweetnr6026]

Mikhail Karagezyan The transition must have been as disorienting for them as the transition to communism would be for me and I too would be angry and disillusioned. I noticed in section 1 of this film that the socialist mindset doesn’t work in a capitalist system, for instance the woman who had left her apartment & who’s grandfather was sleeping on the floor of the kitchen for years because some government department hadn’t come to fix water damage from a previous plumbing issue. The capitalist would’ve just purchased supplies at the hardware store, got a book, skilled friend or now web tutorial and fix it themselves or hire someone and send the landlord the bill if they didn’t maintain their investment themselves. 1: because private ownership leaves no doubt about who’s ultimately responsible and who suffers when thing aren’t maintained a 2: higher expectations when you are paying to live somewhere 3: the ability to shop around for a better deal and 4: the ability to sue someone’s butt off. Also the zil factory kid feeling that they “used to be able to rest after work” because the factory used to provide recreation activities, thats just such a strange concept from my perspective, community recreation resources are separate from places of employment, when I’m done with work I can’t leave fast enough lol. When on my own time I can relax as I choose or work on my own projects. I heard that ford would arrange recreation for workers during the industrial revolution but I would find more than an occasional office party intrusive. I wonder if now they are more DIY types. I think maybe even the perception of communists that capitalism is unchecked competition and exploitation played a role in how people who had known nothing but communism implemented capitalism ie.. mafia control of things, bribes, etc... I also think that it gives insight into why it’s so hard for Americans who live years or even generations in public housing/ on public assistance have a difficult time transitioning to self sufficiency and higher socioeconomic levels. There is the possibility of much to gain but you lose a sense of security and it’s literally a different psychological conditioning/ mindset necessary to make it work.

I know too many russian, Ukraine folks here and russia that lived thru that era, including 80s. to think fake news. It was true. Get in line at 5a for milk for baby brother. Always in drab worn out coats. Well I went to st Petersburg and Moscow 2018 Folks dressed well, supermarkets full and variety. Great food uber clean restaurants, not grubby work cafeterias like 70s and 80s on TV. I follow several who vlog in Russian cities, first it is permitted. Never would be allowed in 70s or 80s. And 2 y after world cup, stores, still full, restaurants still there. I was told by political influenced Americans, Putin made it all happen for show. , lots of foods, clean cities, plenty of subways. Well he is still making it happen. Lol, so is it improvements in lives of st Pete and Moscow. ??? Or still faking it? We all think good old days better.

Millions of Soviet people feel the same way as your friend. Our only Homeland is the USSR. In 91, we were deprived of our Homeland and now we have no Homeland. The Russian Federation is not our Homeland for us, but an alien, hostile state to our Homeland. Millions of Soviet people watch Soviet films, listen and sing Soviet songs because they yearn for their homeland. They show Soviet cartoons and children's films to their children and grandchildren, buy and read books by Soviet writers, because they believe that what was created in the USSR is the best, that Soviet books and films raise children to be good people. Миллионы советских людей чувствуют так же, как ваш друг. Наша единственная Родина - СССР. В 91 году нас лишили Родины и теперь Родины у нас нет. Российская Федерация для нас не Родина, а чуждое, враждебное нашей Родине государство. Миллионы советских людей смотрят советские фильмы, слушают и поют советские песни, потому что тоскуют по своей Родине.

Most people lived pretty well during the Soviet Union. Just ask anyone of that generation, and they'll tell you about having basic necessities, being able to travel cheaper and free for students, having free healthcare and school. Also people saved a lot, and bought very little. When you show the poorest side, it's not really representative. My dad became an orphan while his brother was at university, and he was given an allowance and lived in a communal and received an education. You can't say that could happen today. Of course, I don't believe any system can exist on welfare, even if by a miracle you get a society full of diligent and united people. It just cannot be sustained, and the more we ask of the government the more we must give. I think people try to make human governments almost god-like, and create some kind of paradise. But humans are not gods, and never can be. We have lost paradise, and we must adjust to this imperfect world and live as best we can. Didn't the Bolsheviks try to create paradise, and created much havoc? Rarely do things get better with violence, cheating, or by force.

[@georgfriedrichhandel4390]

It depends on how you would define "pretty well". Yes under Communism, people were guaranteed jobs, had guaranteed incomes and pensions, higher education and medical & dental care were all free. No one was homeless and nobody went hungry. But the system itself was unsustainable. The state controlled the economy and determined what would be produced which oftentimes meant that factories produced items nobody wanted to buy. This was woefully inefficient because demand cannot be controlled. And because all businesses and farms were owned by the state, production and distribution was inefficient and often led to shortages. It was a modern form of serfdom in that everyone worked for one feudal lord - the state.

The system definitely was sustainable. The Soviet economy had no recessions until Gorbachev's "reforms". Before then, the rate of growth had only slowed, but the economy was still growing. They were not financing welfare programs with debt, it was all integrated into the planned economy. While the economy was not very efficient in the Capitalist sense, it was still working and growing until central planning was crippled.

[@georgfriedrichhandel4390]

@@es-yy2cm I disagree. Even if what you say is true, that was largely due to the fact that the state owned all means of production and subsidized all factories, farms and mines. But how could this be sustainable? Many of these enterprises were not profitable and depended on the state for their survival. This was proven after the USSR dissolved and Russia adopted a market economy. Once that happened, government subsidies disappeared and the result was that many of these companies could not survive without state help and shut down. Much of this economic growth was superficial because it was dependent on government intervention, not on the performance of the economy.

Let me tell you, people dont care about 200 yeara ago, only if you remain the same asshole as 200 years ago, wich usa are.

Wow!!!!!! I have never seen in my whole life(50 years old now)a woman cry about her husband!!!! Woe!!! What a blow to my mind! That woman Ludmilla was crying because her husband had died. Our women HATE their husbands and that's mostly what you find in America.are these divorced women and they never stop cursing their ex husbands. Even if they are dead they say evil things about the man. Yet, we know these women whom we sometimes encounter will likely despise us too and we will be on the list they have of men to curse. There's Ludmilla crying for her loss of her husband. Crazy shit.
