That looked like the first class in the Soviet planes. Bashny.Net

As in the Soviet Union they were all equal - there were no rich and poor - transport could not be divided into classes, so this would be contrary to the ideology of a great country. However, this rule still were exceptions, namely, we are talking about air transport. "Aeroflot" at the time made sure to stay on board the aircraft as comfortable as possible for both the political elite and ordinary citizens. In the 1950s, we began to depart over the world, so one way or another Union had to accept international standards. But sometimes the aircraft "Aeroflot", which were intended for international flights have been used for domestic flights. Then each mere mortal could feel elite.

prepared for you a selection of rare images telling the story of the first class of Soviet aircraft. I think current business class - a pathetic parody of the luxury that was once.
