Beginning 80. Mongolia. City Arvan-Heer (administrative center of the aimag
Uverhangay).
At 10 kilometers north (and a little to the east) is a military base of the GRU of the General Staff of the USSR Ministry of Defense. His father served as the mother worked, I was in junior high. The base was located at Mount Tsurtsula. So, on the mountain it was a real calendar that displays the current day, month and year! All figures are neatly laid out in large white boards and perfectly seen from anywhere in the military camp. Perhaps the greatest benefit of the calendar brought the officers that "after yesterday's" forget what day it is. For us, the boys, the greatest interest is the process of changing the date. It was held every morning under the guidance of a junior officer who gave on the radio do not always censor command soldiers flipper board on the mountainside.
Anecdote about Tetris and some do not lie!
