Back in the US - Back in the US - Back in the USSR! Well, this vintage 16mm reel is a slice of life from the other side of the Iron Curtain circa 1963, and as you can see the Soviet Union was a friggin Paradise! First and foremost, you have religion.... of course. But it doesn't stop there - the amusement park clowns are scarier, the airplane rides for your kids have real engines on them with real props - none of this fake shite... They dance! They get old! The kids pick up leaves! Yes, better than the West in every way. Are you now ready to defect?

    Yay, women dancing with women – no heteronormative bullshit for them ๐Ÿ™‚
    Although my guess is that it wouldn't be as acceptable for two men to dance together. Meh, double standards.
    Brings back the memories of my childhood in early '90s. Back then Poland was not all that different from what you see here.
    Of course, knowledge of Polish helps me quite a bit in understanding what she was talking about (subtitles do too), even though I haven't learned Russian.

    "Shite"?! I'm a bad influence on you Fran, that's pure Scouse!

    I'm sat at home trying to shift a nasty head bug (not that one!), and that's the first thing that's made me smile all day. Thank you Fran!
