USSR. 1973. Start of "stagnation"

Today we have 1973, the first part is devoted to the USSR. Judging by the stories of their parents, as well as the totality of historical sources, the time was generally pretty cute. Decades of selfless work finally led to a prosperity among Soviet citizens. Production of passenger cars exceeded one million per year, and although most of them were exported, ordinary people began to gradually acquire personal vehicles.

1973 - this is the beginning of "stagnation". It is said that Leonid Brezhnev began noticeably decrepit somewhere in 1974.
