1. What do you remember your grandparents or older members in your family telling you about Soviet days?

Older members of my family often remembered Soviet days from different points of view.Eventually I was born at this of many faces time. The time of Soviet Union was very difficult for most of people, because member countries had a restructuring of whole economic, political and social process. Many people were left without work and any sources of living. Value of money at those time was depreciated that caused by inflation. This situation was complicated by the food crisis in the country. People stood in a queue for some products from early morning till deep night. Every family had similar conditions for living at Soviet time. But at those times education level at schools and universities was much higher than nowadays. Any elective classes were available for each Soviet child such as dancing, any kind of sports, naturalistic classes and others. Approximately all Soviet children were involved in some activities. Our parents could travel all over the countries that were involved in Soviet Union partially for free!
