No!
Shame! – He got drunk, swore, smashed a tree – he is ashamed to look people in the face (1958, N. Velezheva, N. Kuzovkin).
I have made several trips to Ukraine. The flights out of Kiev to western Europe take off at around 7:00 or 8:00 am and shortly after take-off, the stewardess is pushing the drink cart down the aisle, serving vodka and brandy. When the hard stuff is being served that early, you’ve got a societal drinking problem.
You know this is a crock. This “New Soviet Man’’ is wearing a Western-style suit, nice hair and he’s eating meat. The fact he’s even eating at all is a stretch, such as things were in the old Soviet Union.
“Getting better” meaning you stopped driving around nekked shooting road signs, or meaning you just got to be a better shot?
That was because, we did not outsource our factories to those communists.
These posters never cease to amuse me considering that the booze was made by the state.
Comrade, he is afactory forman and has met all of his production goals! As a result, he received the Hero of Socialist Labour and a ration of meat.
forman = foreman. Off to the gulag with me!
Hey. You’d drink too if you lived in a Communist Hellhole. Come to think of it, I think I’ll pour myself another drink.
In Soviet Russia, anti-drinking messages made you drunk
No, not really. A little hair-of-the-dog can stop the shakes and nausea, sometimes. When I wake up, I normally have a half a pint of vodka with my coffee to stop shaking and puking while I’m getting ready for work. Also, this will keep me settled and help me not to drink heavily before lunch. After a little lunch pick me up, I can then get to the end of the shift before I start drinking normally, you know, just to help me relax and get to sleep.
Again, I don’t have a drinking problem. I do all of this for medicinal reasons and to benefit the company. My drinking is a matter of science and is not a problem regardless of what any of my ex-wives and ex-bosses say.
Oh, I’m still a good shot but I can’t handle the cold anymore.
If you can get hold of a paperback copy at Amazon or someplace, read “MIG PILOT” Sub-titled “The Final Escape of Lt. Belenko” you will not only get a startling picture of the drinking situation over there, but also a mind-boggling realization how the failed misery of socialism is being installed HERE? The chapter on Stalin’s death and the shrieking gullible deification of him is eerily similar to all the idolizing of Zero! That is a non-fiction book, by the way......and dirt cheap, used, on Amazon.
fork belongs in the right hand.
Da, Comrade of Glorious Army Air Corps! He is to being Hero of Socialist Labor and so can enjoy it meat today. But tomorrow he must be again working to achieve bigger productions quota! All Hail the Heros of Socialist Soviet Labor! :-)
Da, Comrade! By building from victory to victory, the running-dog capitalists will be defeated! Enough talk, back to the factory floor making “one size fits all” shoes!
Don't drink and draw.
Which wasn’t true, he’d only poison them one at a time.
At one point the SCTV program feed got co-opted by an extremely boring talkshow, featuring a couple of bumpkins with short pants and white socks.
One bumpkin was wearing an RCA BK-5 microphone (I hate myself for knowing this!) which was the size of a salami on a neckstrap.
One camera pulled back and the other camera came into the shot. It was the size of a refrigerator.
