I can talk about the quality of Soviet-era goods for hours, there are products that I have been using for 40 years.

It is believed that the quality of Soviet goods was not good, which is why people highly valued foreign things and wanted to get them. Actually, Soviet quality It was at a decent level, and some products were so good that they are still in demand today.

And today's edition. "Site" Remember some truly legendary Soviet goods, which once bought our grandparents, and today we buy. And who knows, maybe in many years these things will be in use.



Quality of Soviet times

1. The Niva car.
   Of course, today in the post-Soviet space drives a lot of cars that were assembled during the existence of the USSR. However, it was the Niva that became a truly cult car, which was successfully sold out even outside the country. And due to the excellent cross-country, reliability, simplicity and cheapness in terms of repair, "Niva" in the rural hinterland is almost an ideal choice for any motorist. A real Soviet jeep.

2. Friendship cheese
   Floated cheeses began to be mass produced in the 60s, and they immediately fell in love with Soviet people. The price from 11 to 24 kopecks was relatively small, and cheese in stores was always available. It is not surprising that various boozes often took cheese for snacks. Moreover, unlike the “pick in tomato”, the cheese was packaged in foil, which was easy to open. The quality of the cheese was decent, because only cheese, butter, cottage cheese, water, cream, milk and salt were used for production. This product is also quite satisfying, which also added to its popularity. It is no wonder that cheese is still produced today. In 2005, a monument was erected near the factory.

3. Milk chocolate "Alenka"
   I want to recall another cult product, which has been produced since the mid-60s of the last century. We are talking about milk chocolate "Alenka", so adored by Soviet children. Over time, chocolate became so recognizable that it became a real calling card of the USSR. It's still being produced today. Moreover, Russian tourists even take it with them as a souvenir for their foreign friends or for visiting staff in hotels. It is interesting that nowadays "Alyonka" is only becoming more popular in the world. This chocolate is exported to Kazakhstan, China and other countries.

Something has even become a symbol of time. "Red Moscow" perfume
There is a version that this fragrance was created for Empress Maria Fedorovna. Although in the USSR preferred to adhere to the version that the spirits saw the light in Soviet times. And I must say that the popular fragrance became a kind of symbol of that time. The bottles with perfume even repeatedly appeared in the cinema, for example, in the films “Girls”, “Hello and Goodbye”, “Pokrovsky Gate”. Even today, Red Moscow is on sale, and the fragrance formula is still kept secret.

Enameled dishes
An enameled kettle, bucket or several pots were definitely at home for every Soviet family. Long-lasting and safe dishes enjoyed the well-deserved love of millions of housewives. And although today there are many more modern kitchen utensils on sale, but enameled dishes also sell well. And, for example, the notorious Lysvensk plant of enamel dishes is still functioning.
