SOVIET PRODUCTS OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY
Some people who are nostalgic for the Soviet era often claim that everything was of higher quality back then. However, historical research does not back up the so-called “legendary Soviet quality” as a factual statement.
TOTAL BAN ON CHURCH VISITS
During the Soviet period, thousands of churches and temples, including those that held significant cultural value, were demolished. This was especially prevalent in the 1920s and 1930s. Throughout the history of the Soviet Union, there was extensive state-driven anti-religious and atheist propaganda.
CAREER ADVANCEMENT
It’s often stated that an ordinary individual in the Soviet Union, regardless of how hard they worked, struggled to achieve a remarkable career due to the closed nature of the Soviet elite. In fact, the career aspirations of most Soviet citizens were restricted unless they were members of the Communist Party.
