How many Soviet republics were there?

Oh... And I often said that I was born at the wrong time and in the wrong place.
I should have been born in the USSR.
My mother told me so much about her childhood, about how it was in that country, and her childhood was much better than mine.

She wasn't afraid to come home at 12 o'clock when she was 10 years old. And her parents let her. Because there were no bad people in the USSR, lurking in dark alleys.
No one would let me do that now. And I wouldn't go myself, because I know that now is a terrible time.

And remember that people used to not lock their front doors when they were at home. They weren't afraid to leave the door open.
Can any of you leave your door unlocked now?

And I'm not even talking about the level of morality...

And the prices?
My mother went to horseback riding lessons for free and became a candidate for master of equestrian sports.
I go to the same lessons now, but I pay 800 rubles per hour. And that's still cheap...

People in the USSR were kinder. And let someone say that it wasn't so.:smile19:
