Nostalgia for the Soviet way of life

Photos from the museum of Soviet life in Kolomna, who is nostalgic for the days of communal flats;) see below.





There's not just carefully collected authentic everyday objects - a life that is recreated with knowledge of the case and the subject. The memory museum staff did not disappoint.



The friendly woman selling the tickets told us, and now I'm going to tell all! We choked. Child, I said with a tear. My child, you are so young and lovely. Get away from me moldy tortilla, while I did not tell you what. Then I delved into the heart of any communal - toilet.



Rag top buckets, cleaning schedule, hovering at the top of cistern. Yes, I remember everything. And drying the printed photos, as without them. Each communal, there was one amateur photographer. For some reason, no two - apparently, they do not get along like two bears in one den.



Who has not had anything to do with the washing machine, I can tell - a hose connected to the tap, the tank is filled manually. Dried ladies underwear - corset belt-armor of cheerful Sitchikov in small flower and monstrous bra. No synthetics, all with environmentally friendly materials.



By the way, all the plumbing, as it is a delicate acting. If someone wants to worsen the impression. The room heroes of theirs time - Peha, Magomayev and other masters of doom.



However, behind the sofa, alone - an indispensable portrait of Hemingway in a sweater. So, still alive liberal intelligentsia. For lovers of gadgets



In the closet piled suitcases



Aeroflotovskie baggage tag - unique artifact of great power. Unable to remove the well, and you'll have to take my word for it: it is real, and not so faded: Nikitina, Tel-Aviv.



We will not think about leaving then, who saw it - will never forget, as young immigrants and do not need - they have their own complexity. In the corridor raskoryachishsya Encyclopedia: fundamental, and most importantly - the only source of knowledge for the simple inhabitant communal.



Well, easier reading - magazine about sobriety, for example. With story venechkom Yerofeyev.



Yes, I almost forgot - household chemicals and other means of caring for a person



Okay, we will not be upset. Next. The heart of any communal - kitchen. There boil soup and all significant events occur. Products pomnyu.I almost all those in orders, too. And seriously, it is not that now, related to preparations for the winter.



The kitchen is located a powerful cabinet topped with stewed



Kolomna museum workers are not simple - if the cabinet is not in Narnia, then at least into the distance



Through it, you can go to the bright exhibition halls, look out the window at the Kolomna Kremlin and the circular communal corridor back to the entrance. Older man comes to him with a complex bouquet of sadness, fear, disgust, sadness and relief - "living is gone." At the entrance too crowd excursion Gaumont teenagers who all seem terribly amusing.
