Soviet reality

I often hear from my parents that they miss the Soviet time.
I decided to recall how it was.
And really  there is  to miss about something?

Soviet Union is a country of queues and shortages

A very clear recollection of my childhood - a weekend of shopping queues.
To buy bread, milk, sour cream, butter - just basic products, we have to stand in  queues.

wine

To buy wine or champagne for New Year's holiday, my mother spent several hours in the queue.It was extremely dangerous. One buyer could buy only two bottle wine, for example, or champagne. People lost all human form.

Good memories of my childhood.
Sparkling water.
A glass of water cost 3 copeсk.
And yes ... we had no idea that there is a single-use utensils.

I never played with dolls. I did not like playing girls.
My favorite games were drawing and constructors. 
Constructor  is my old passion. My mom put up with this fact.

Milk, yogurt was very good. Glass bottles helped me a lot.
I went to the movies (3 -4 bottles = 1 ticket to cinema)

I do not like fast food. But for unknown reasons, sometimes I just want a Big Mac and Fries. 

I remember  two denominations. When my parents were completely out of money.

I think that is not worth to say that in a country where sex is not existed  and an appropriate education was not existed also.

We filled condoms by water and we are throwing these "water bombs" from the upper floors.
