My babushka tells about her life in the Soviet Union

I asked my babushka about her life back in the USSR! (she was born in 1938, the Soviet Union dissolution was in 1991, so most part of her life was in the USSR)

📍Videos with my family or about USSR:

Eli: "I work for myself"
Babushka: *gazes in disgust*

From wooden plows to launching satellites in a single generation

[j.ishanovich]

as a wise man once said, The nostalgia of the soviet people of the USSR is not the nostalgia towards the past but towards a future that is lost.

Grandmother was proud of her soviet heritage. Good for her and her pride.

We want a full interview from grandma about USSR time!!😊

[danielbarrett]

I can totally understand what she is trying to say. The people were united under one banner, achieving unbelievable things and striving to make the Soviet Union a super power. The First man in space was a Russian after all. Nowadays everyone is so greedy, selfish and vain

Protect this babushka at all cost!! Blessings ❤❤❤
I’m not Russians, but I grew up in San Francisco where many Russians came after the fall of the Soviet Union and I’ve heard many of these stories from the old timers that told me so much God bless their souls .

I grew up to learn Russian and I’ve travelled to Moscow many times. Love u ppl and I love to love I’ve always been given by Russians❤❤

My grandparents, parents, and myself were born in the USSR, present day Azerbaijan. My grandparents and parents grew up there; I have no memory of this time cause I was a baby (born in '91, right before it fell), but my grandma speaks very fondly of those times and tells me very similar stories like these about the Soviet Union - unfortunately they'll never teach you this perspective in schools, especially not in the U.S.

Thank you documenting this. It's important to get the perspective of people who actually lived in history rather that only getting the point of view from history books.

Grandma dropping the truth bombs. I love how she just ignores what you say/ask and keeps going. 😂

my grandma told me the same things, she was living in Communist Hungary and she said that life was a lot easier and slower. You worked, ate and had fun at life, no complicated things to worry about. People were simply equal ordinary humans, having lot better communities than today, people came together everyday and played, talked and simply enjoyed life

Babushkas are there to be respected, listened to, taken care of and loved. ❤

My grandma says the same things, she even says times were better then. My American friends cannot wrap their heads around this mainly because there was a lot of fear of USSR back in that day. I show everyone my grandmas pics from the 40s, 50s, & 60s she traveled, went to the theatre, and was extremely happy in every picture you could tell. Every time people (Americans) see these pictures they are shocked about how life really was in the USSR.
