Things that convey the spirit of the USSR and easily return to childhood

Humanity is progressing in one way or another. We used to walk towards a bright future very slowly, in small steps and constantly straying from the path. But in recent decades, the development of technology has reached a very impressive level. And the sense of nostalgia remains. I want to look back and look at USSRSo familiar to the older generation.



Of course, they are losing something to modern analogues. Functionality, dimensions, materials... But these things were very dear to a huge number of children of that time. But childhood is the brightest and purest time of life. So let's just sit back and take a little bit of memory.

Modern children think that in father’s or grandfather’s youth there was nothing at all. Even flowers, judging by the photos of the time. People were sitting around, everything was black and white, and only Brezhnev was banging something on TV. But that's fortunately not the case. Probably, in every post-Soviet town there are still attractions of that time.



phere it and machine electric propulsion, shooter. chain-swing And as a decoration of all this, ferris wheel! Not that it was ever particularly exciting. But this attraction has always been popular with couples in love. What, cramped booth, high altitude? There is no reason for a student to confess his feelings. Oh, youth!

Philately Collection stamps It was probably an all-Union character. It was such a popular hobby that even now in old attics or forgotten suitcases find neat, dense albums with small colorful pieces of paper inside. Marky. Washed and quick. They were so beautiful that they could only look at them, and it was strictly forbidden to get them!



Now this hobby is not so popular. People stopped writing letters to each other because the Internet made it much cheaper and a million times faster. But there is something about this retrospective. Find an envelope, write a letter in beautiful handwriting and pick up a stamp. Receiving letters is like a gift. Every time you look forward to something special.

Modern Flags flask Not much different from the Soviet times. Same color, same design. But still on those things there is a touch of the past. Modern adult men still remember how a sip of water could literally save the health of a colleague after a march-throw for several kilometers, and even in full uniform.



Until now, fishermen and hunters willingly take with them such flasks. They splash not only water, but also a huge amount of memories, nostalgia and experiences from the past. By the way, there is still demand for flasks from Soviet times. All sorts of collectors are willing to buy them. The main thing is that the subject has its own history.

Probably the most popular and recognizable item of Soviet dishes - ordinary faceted. And although its history begins with Peter I, it is firmly rooted in our hearts as an object of a past era. The classic glass had 16 faces and a volume of 250 ml (this is to the brim, and if poured to the mark - already 200 ml). And at the bottom of the glass squeezed its price: 7 or 17 cents.



piabay Glass bottle: for milk liter, and for dairy products half a liter. It is interesting primarily for its shape and cover. The wide neck was used because it was not closed with a cork or lid. Foil was used at the time. I pressed my finger and the bottle is open. For convenience, to immediately understand what is in the container, the foil was made of different colors. Practically and without unnecessary movement.

Zenit camera It is a very popular camera model and for good reason. In fact, Zenit, whose history began in 1952, was ahead of its time. This is a small-format mirror machine of professional level. At the same time, it is affordable and not too difficult for an amateur photographer. To this day, there is an increased interest in this brand among photographers.



After the first triumph, the factory spawned various additions to the basic camera. The industry developed, and was born first "Zenit-S", then "Zenit-EM", which in 1979 was recognized as the best camera of the year. These cameras were discontinued in 1992. But a large number of collectors and amateur photographers are still hunting them. That's what quality means.

Since our article is not rubber, we simply cannot recall all the interesting and forgotten objects of that era. Nevertheless, we believe that our readers can help us with this problem. Let’s remember together what other interesting artifacts of the Soviet period were undeservedly forgotten. We will talk about them in detail, but in the following materials.
