Family Albums 30s - 50 g

History of the USSR from the family album 30s - 50s

This is not the work of professional photographers who can try to blame the fact that they are one-sided. These are photos from private albums - real life who lived ordinary Soviet people, the average 20-x - 50-ies.
What is not expected? In order to "terrible Stalinist Soviet Union, where there was no sex" in Moscow exhibited a sculpture of a naked woman beautiful? Yes, indeed, she stood "in the terrible 37th." If you think what everyone lived in terror under the total control of sanctimonious tyrannical state, that does not represent and do not understand the time - it has almost nothing to do with his predstavlet rossiyanskih TV and scribble all sorts of scum. Of course, the pictures of the album can not be compared with the level of works of professional photographers, most of them were made by amateurs. But they reflect life as they saw it and those people were able to save part in family photographs.

Behind the scenes there are very many. For example, the campaign against illiteracy which was taught to read and write 80% of the illiterate population of the country - where the peasants of those years Cameras? But it's not that. Look at what surrounds those years the Soviet people, clothes, face, reflecting his time. Sometimes they will say about his time better than any of historians, educators and analysts.

The oil fields of Tatarstan and Siberia were discovered only in the 40's - 50's, when it created the basis for geological surveys. Before that, the country lacked geologists, equipment, engineers, transportation ... there was almost nothing. All this was created in the 30s.

Mortgaging base of heavy industry. And there is no lie that its "cons built in 37" - it has already been built a long time by then, and the contribution of prison labor in the economy in those years is less than 1%.

Now this plant "privatized", that is stolen from the people of obscure personalities. Recently, "Governor" Tuleyev said that the plant "finally appeared boss" - a group of obscure nominees. Now combine Finally, you can control with a host. It is terrible to imagine how it could build if no owner, is not something that control.

To do this, that, if it was built by our grandfathers to be stolen every scum?

Look no faces of these people. They did not spare himself, built factories and cities for their descendants, for us. After 10 years, they have made will protect them in the most terrible war in human history, dying in order to live we. And we are all allowed to steal and destroy. Could we look into their eyes?

Agricultural workers remote Siberian province. Artel - a non-governmental organization, united and cooperative entrepreneurs who themselves entered into a contract with the state and other cooperatives, paying taxes, etc.

The one that says that the Soviet Union in those years was a super-centralized state, where everything is strictly regulated from the center - do not know the history or understand the structure of society of those years, or deliberately lying.

The cooperative movement was extremely developed in Stalin's Soviet Union. In addition to the collective farms, which have been co-operative organizations, while there were more than 114 000 industrial workshops, where about 2 million people. They made almost 6% of the gross industrial output of the Soviet Union in its composition: 40% of all furniture of the country, 70% of all metal utensils, 35% of the top jersey, almost 100% of the toys.

In rural cooperatives cooperative workers (both farmers and individual farmers) were usually employed part. They included the 30 years up to 30 million people.

The cooperative movement in the Soviet Union was destroyed during Khrushchev simultaneously with the deployment of anti-Stalin hysteria.

Icons - put rules TRP (Ready for Labor and Defense) and GTSO (the same, but the ambulance). In those years, to receive such an icon self-respecting boy was absolutely necessary. Human valued personal qualities, rather than on the wallet and parents relations. Use communication - despised. Such people are in a few years to win the war, to be built almost from scratch a world power, will launch a man into space.

Note collected, strong-willed, adults face these boys - they are approximately 16 years old. And compare them with nyneshnemi.

1936 Moscow parachute tower view from the embankment. Gorky (main entrance to the Park)

What is not expected? In order to "terrible Stalinist Soviet Union, where there was no sex" in Moscow exhibited a sculpture of a naked woman beautiful? Yes, indeed, she stood "in the terrible 37th." If you think what everyone lived in terror under the total control of sanctimonious tyrannical state, that does not represent and do not understand the time - it has almost nothing to do with his predstavlet rossiyanskih TV and scribble all sorts of scum.

To the society, the time needed not slaves and cowards, but brave, courageous and determined people. A public park was then almost inconceivable without a parachute tower, shooting range and summer stadium. Each city was an airfield, where millions of young people mastered gliders and light aircraft. Raised the will, the courage, bravery

"Hello, Country Heroes Country Dreamers, Country Scholars ...»

Only those able to build a great power. Only in 1935, it was engaged in parachuting more than 800 000 people. In those years, in almost every city, every major park was parachute tower, built them even in large farms.

Parachute tower steel liquidated immediately after Stalin's death. Then it became forbidden to have personal weapons. Parachute tower in the park have been closed about the middle 60s. Not for nothing - with the destruction of the Stalinist system brave brave men began not only not necessary, but dangerous. Already Stalin miracle heroes would not give to hold a "rebuilding».

Incidentally, it was in Stalin's Soviet Union, and many sculptures and paintings of nudes, simply because it never stirred up excitement, turning a person with unstable mentality into a slave to his passions, and it was just a calm and dignified part of the culture.



Vera Voloshin, 1 October 1941. Two months later - on November 29, this extremely pretty girl dies.

Eight-meter sculpture Girl with paddle remarkable sculptor Ivan Shadr (Ivanov), the model was a great Soviet athlete Vera Voloshin missing in November 1941 during a commando operations behind enemy lines. A month before her death sculpture destroyed by German bombs.

This occurred 10 kilometers from the place of death of Zoe Kosmodemyanskoy, on the same day. Vera Voloshin, accomplish such a feat was the Komsomol Komsomol reconnaissance and sabotage group, which included Zoe.

Vera was also a great sculptor parachutist and jokingly said that her specially staged to look at the parachute tower.

By the way, to change the standard of living of the average person - a suit became commonplace.



What the picture, it is clear from the inscription at the top. Please note - almost all young men - GTO badges. Being a member of the Komsomol-dystrophic was just crazy. Young Communists and Communists could have a personal weapon.

Almost all of them were killed or seriously injured someone from loved ones, if not of the family, of my friends, their families, their classmates. Many of them were widowed mother.
