Allow me to disagree with the year that photo was taken.This photo is from 1995. It was taken a few years after the collapse of the USSR.
Here we see a clear example of the transition from socialism to capitalism.
And here is a real photo from the USSR:

Best luck to you, comrade!
There are future plans to make it possible to skip mini-games.
Glásnost!There are future plans to make it possible to skip mini-games.
But those who do pass them will receive scarce goods from the government.
Judging by the fashion, I'd still put it in the late 70's. Maybe a little later, but most likely before perestroika.
Well, in this case you know that it is not how it everywhere was.
Do you realize that the climate and soil conditions are different in different countries? You should know what is the mud season (rasputitsa) if you lived in that part of the world. It doesn't mean the same weather conditions apply to the US or, say, Africa.
Well, I have photos of the USSR of the 80s. Have a nice dayJudging by the fashion, I'd still put it in the late 70's. Maybe a little later, but most likely before perestroika.
And hydrogen peroxide was discovered in the 19th century.
I wrote about another photo: about a picture with funerals, which was taken in Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous District (Western Siberia) in 1995. Here we see all the sorrowful consequences of the collapse of the USSR.
Well, that's what I call the color blindness. Have a nice day, grumpy old man.
These are also pictures of Soviet citizens, and they don't portray constant doom and gloom like yours:
That's what I tried to explain to him. If somebody wants to find some shit they can find shit virtually everywhere. It is scary that a person who was obviously young and full of energy at that time sees only doom and gloom in his past. Says something about the one's mental condition.
I understand that you have never lived in the USSR
You immediately get personal and make a diagnosis. A very powerful and convincing argument! I give up!
I was born and raised there. If you want to tell me that it was all doom and gloom, I will call your bluff. You obviously try to find some photos showing drunken, handicapped people etc. and try to persuade that all it was like that.
Nope.
And a qualified one. You want to say that you are young and cheerful?
You'd better
That was your takeaway from the photos I linked? LMAO. OK, keep your blinders on and pretend it was always cloudy skies, then. While you're right to say I've never lived in the Soviet Union, I had been there before the Iron Curtain fell. So I'm not talking about something with no knowledge. I did not visit as a tourist, either. I visited specifically to talk with local citizens as well as government officials. The local citizens with whom I spoke did have some hard times, of course; but they also were very happy with life in general terms. So, I am absolutely no expert, but I also am absolutely anything but oblivious.
