What kind of rest I want to dream about

The best way to spend a vacation is to go to the sea. Today, one in three can go abroad, and a few decades ago hundreds of resorts worked in the country, which offered a variety of services. beachside people of the Soviet country.





The beach holiday season was a wonderful time! Eating fruit buckets, bathing in crystal clear water, breathing the healing sea air... Add here the beauty of landscapes with hilly mountains, and it will become clear what attracted tourists from all over the world to the Soviet lands.

And while your friends vying to brag about pictures from abroad, the editorial office "Site" I decided to remember how it was during the Soviet Union. Before you is a collection of retrophotos Soviet beaches and vacationers.





Beach set A typical Soviet holidaymaker: maps, seeds, a piece of newspaper on the nose, wine (a lot of wine), a battery-powered tape recorder or transistor receiver, a handkerchief for four knots on the head, “pull-pull-gum”, hot corn, cheburek, baklava ... And definitely Black Sea bulls!





The newspaper is not to sit, but to make it a sunscreen headdress, which with a slight movement of the hand turns into a garbage bag.





What a great swimsuit! By the way, the fashion for high-waist panties is back.





At first, the Soviet underwear market did not pamper its customers. Bikinis and low-waist panties appeared closer to the 70s. But women managed to sew squalid sets into beautiful swimming outfits.





Or knitting and sewing swimsuits on their own.





Only the lucky ones could flaunt on the beach in Japanese swimsuits.





Ladies lined up in the queue at TSUM to buy not just beautiful, but swimsuit.





By the weight of gold rubber And swimsuits from Czechoslovakia.





Did you go to Crimea to sit on hard pebbles?





Or Odessa, on the soft sand? Local residents say that in Odessa the best beachside.





Here you and the sea, and restaurants, and theaters, and the unique local flavor.





Now that sailYou have to get in the car and get in the car before! The rest is nonsense.





Visiting Artek in the summer was the dream of every Soviet child.





But even on a quiet beach in the suburbs, it was possible to relax perfectly.





And everyone should. monkey-pic! In extreme cases, with a boa constrictor or on a portable pirate ship.





If there is no monkey, you can take a picture with an Olympic bear. In Alushta there is still such a sculpture 3 meters high.





Yalta embankment!





Sochi is the best place to be beachside.





It was only possible to ride a limousine converted from a truck in Gagra.





Pay attention to the resting figures. Not exhausted by diets and not bathed in fat. Normal people with normal bodies.





Women are beautiful without a ton of makeup.





It was a wonderful time! Pure and soul and body. There are no disgruntled faces, though crowded.

364696.



It is true that The sea is happiness. Anyone who has ever been to the sea will remember it for a lifetime.





You can talk a lot about the past and compare past time with today’s opportunities, but before everyone worked and did not think about tomorrow. There was enough money not only for life, but also for rest.

It's a pity that once popular Soviet resortsSanatoriums, children's camps are forgotten or abandoned. Large cities have turned into megacities and rest there, alas, more expensive than abroad. It is good that there are still photos that remind you of a great time.
