It is better to start from an average.
It was not bad in the north in those years either, with an average of 800-1000 roubles.
Kamchatka was equated to the north. Officers had double pay.
 
Yuriy Zaytsev:

And communism was built, for a small select group of people, the top leaders of the country.

But everyone else - 99% - couldn't change their worn-out trousers for free. But to go on holiday with a certain level of comfort, actually for free, was possible for many - this was real.
Realistically, life was more peaceful than it is now, there was confidence in the future. There was no unemployment, everyone could calculate for the rest of their lives what they would and would not be able to do.

. and to buy a car you had to work all your life as a slave and collect money.

One savvy engineer worked without a rest, and four while working drank coffee and filled in the crossword puzzle on Ogonyok magazine.

 
khorosh:
Not everyone was getting 120p. The commander of a nuclear submarine squadron in Kamchatka got 1500 p, more than the minister. I, then a lieutenant, got 360.

I'm already thinking of voting for Zyuganov in 2018%)

Still very attracted by the free trousers in the shop, think crimson.

Whoever wanted to buy a car or a flat in a cooperative in a hurry would go to the North or to BAM to earn some money. Many were stuck there until they retired, because it was psychologically difficult to switch from a large salary to a small one.

I understand you, of course there was the youth, the officer's life, the romance of long-distance travel. The certainty of a future... Good pay. Free housing from the state. Nothing much to do, just protect communism from external threats. Nobody bothered, the central communist brain at the top would decide for everybody, how much sausage to make and what quality cars to produce. There were no real problems. Children were educated for free, research institutes, factories worked.

You won't get any free ones, Zyuganov is already used up.
 
khorosh:
You can't wait for the free ones, Zyuganov is already used up.

You mean that after 17 years of irradiating the country with high frequency waves in the TV FM band, all the grandmothers and grandfathers will no longer vote for Zyuganov - but for GDP?


In that sense you are absolutely right. Zyuganov and the CPRF are no good anymore.

There was no communism, it was defending the country.

Deciding everything for everyone was too strong a word. There was a planned economy, yes. It had both strengths and weaknesses.

Communism was there, though, for a tiny fraction, the upper classes. And who decided? Did you go to elections in those years? What was the point if there was only one candidate standing.

In that sense you are absolutely right. Zyuganov and the CRC don't count anymore.

Exactly. People of age are usually conservative. They are afraid of any change that might make things worse. No matter what anyone says about Putin, the standard of living has improved considerably under him.
