I'm an average, 30 year old married man with 2 kids living in Moscow in 1980

>job you can't get fired from
>apartment you can't get evicted from
Only if he is a part of nomenklatura, which was about 5% of Soviet population.

That's not true. In the USSR everyone did get a home and everyone did get a job. The job may very well be shit and the apartment may well be even worse, but these doesn't mean people didn't have them.

The privileges of the party members were different from guaranteed employment and housing.

Kids are disgusting

>muh glorious worker paradise
fuck off

Yes good goy never breed.

I'm not saying the USSR was a glorious worker's paradise. I'm saying the USSR did indeed have guaranteed employment and housing. This is a fact.

I'm not even a socialist. It's just that I don't approach history with an ideological agenda to uphold.

How is what he described paradise, you twit? A guaranteed shitty apartment is paradise to you?

Wrong and wrong.

Yes. People in the USSR did get guaranteed jobs and housing. The quality of these jobs and housing were usually pretty bad and I'm not saying this in praise of the USSR, I'm just acknowledging that they indeed did this.

>still no consumer goods because the only things country ever produces is steel and guns
>still have to wait 12 hours in line for cheap vodka
As I say, I'm not praising the USSR. It's just that you have an ideological axe to grind and get offended by the mere suggestion that it was anything more complicated than a dystopian cartoon.

>The shit covered with sprinkles is still shit
Naturally. I never said it wasn't shit, I'm just saying you shouldn't be offended by historical facts.

Looks like the peak year according to your graph famalan.

>not having as many kids as possible to save the white race

kysmm

It's a useless venture as long as Latinos are Catholic.

Communism fell in the eastern block in late '89, what's so fucking weird about using 1990?

>USSR lost most of its GDP after losing half of the territory and population thanks to balkanization

No shit? Compare apples to apples.

To be quite honest it doesn't sound that bad to me.

>in Moscow 1980
>my
Aha. Comrade, the day belongs to the people, not to the selfish individual.

>being Catholic makes you white

Have I missed something here?

While not exactly related to your question, Memoir of a Russian punk is a really good book about growing up in Kharkov in the 1960s.
Written by this guy.

He's making the JUST face.

>A guaranteed shitty apartment is paradise to you?
Welcome to An-capistan!

Good luck not getting any bias from that, eh?

In what way?

Are you heathen?

If the Soviets had nukes and new any confrontation between NATO and the Warsaw pact countries would have result in a nuclear exchange anyway why did they devote so much of their economy to tanks or weapons?

Imagine what could have been if car ownership rates were on par with the USA.

>You come home from hard day of work at glorious Russian tractor factory.

>Enter lounge and drink vodka. Cat sit on top of kitchen table, stare at you. “Stupid cat.” you say, “You look just like Premiere Putin's fat ugly wife!”.

>Early next morning, KGB kick down front door and take you to Siberian gulag for outrageous slur against Premier's beautiful wife.

>In glorious Russian motherland, even cat can be trained to report owner for spread discontent and tell lie about senior party members.

>Cat receive Order Of Lenin medal and senior position in KGB; you receive 30 year hard labour sentence at re-education camp.

>Life is just and fair under our beloved leader.

>married
>2 kids
>a job

Your average day is better than mine.

They assumed that MAD would prevent NATO from using nukes if a conventional war broke out. So they would be able to gain the upper hand quickly and negotiate from a better position.

Same in former Yugoslavia.

get up, do morning things
send your kids to school -- they're usually one block away from home so it's safe
drive your wife to work
get to your work
drink tea with colleagues and gossip
if some some boss shows up at work actively pretend to be doing something
get your wife from work and get home
kids should already back at home
watch tv together: kids programming and/or "Time" news programme
if friends/relatives show up drink and criticize the state in the kitchen
