WHAT WAS UNDER STALIN. WHAT WE HAVE LOST.
1. FOAM WAS MADE OUT OF MILK FOAM. YOU COULD FEED THE CHILDREN.
2. GRAVITY WAS 80 PERCENT WEAKER. PEOPLE COULD JUMP ONTO A HOUSE FROM A RUNNING START.
3. HUMANS LIVED ON AVERAGE 150-190 YEARS. THERE WERE NO DISEASES OTHER THAN BLISTERS.
4. IF YOU STUMBLE AND FALL IN THE STREET, PEOPLE WOULD RUN UP, PUT MONEY IN YOUR POCKET, KISS YOU ON THE MOUTH, OFFER YOU A DRINK AND BECOME FRIENDS.
5. HARES AND PARTRIDGES WOULD FLY INTO THE FRYING PAN AT ONCE.
IF YOU BOUGHT BREAD, THEY'D PAY YOU EXTRA.
IT WAS SCARY TO GO NEAR THE RIVER: BURBOT WERE JUMPING INTO THE POT.
6. MY GRANDFATHER TOLD ME THAT PEOPLE WOULD WAKE UP AT NIGHT WITH THEIR HAPPY, GOOD LAUGH. IN THE MORNING, EVERYONE POURED ICE-COLD WATER OUT OF A BUCKET.
7. THE GESTATION PERIOD WAS 4.5 MONTHS. THE CHILDREN WERE BORN 12-15 KILOS EACH, WITH BLOND HAIR AND CLEAR BLUE EYES AND STRONG-WILLED INTELLIGENT FACES - THEY ASKED TO GO TO WORK STRAIGHT AWAY.
8. THE WATER IN THE VOLGA WAS AS SWEET AS MOLASSES. AND THE YENISEI CONSISTED OF DARK BEER.
9. IN WINTERS IT WAS MINUS 300, AND EVERYONE WALKED AROUND RUDDY.
10. THE BERRIES WERE AS BIG AS A CAT. CATS WERE AS BIG AS A DOG, A DOG AS BIG AS A COW, AND A COW WAS LIKE A SHOP, AND IN THE SHOP THE MEN PLAYED CHESS ACCORDING TO BOTVINNIK'S METHOD - THEY MATED WITH A KNIGHT FROM THE FIRST MOVE!
