And there were more interesting garlands: with figures of pig, bear, car, blimp and other. Bulbs screwed into patronchiki with clothespins, and those attached to the tree. These garlands from the late 50's - early 60-ies
With the 60-ies the Soviet Union begins wide production of Christmas tree garlands. Apart from the usual round colored lights appear garland lights with elongated bulb in the form of candles, painted in different colors, and screwed in patronchiki on clothespins (total 18 pcs.).

There is a completely different technology: patronchiki mounted on latticed lanterns, stamped from a thin sheet of yellow, each lamp can be easily disassembled into 2 halves. Figure lattice - in the style of Chinese lanterns, and inserted into the cylinder of color film. Garland is incredibly beautiful, but perhaps the most fragile of all Soviet: tin easily crushed, the slightest awkward pressing flashlight can lose shape.
In Moscow, since the 70s, produced a garland in the form of lanterns made themselves bulbs.
By this time, it is curious garland with lights in the form of multi-colored Christmas balls decorated with curlicues.
