•THIS IS OUR PAST•

Hello, everyone.

Today I was thinking about my past and about my childhood in particular. I remember so many things from that time and today I bought one. It was a tasty thing right from the age when I was 4-5 years old. And it caused the waterfall of my memories and I want you to show my past.

When I was in my kindergarden, it was the USSR time so not so many things were available there but at the same time we were dreaming to get all those stuff I'm going to show you. So, the time machine is ready and let's go......

The thing I bought was this:

It's a well-known thing for those who was born in the USSR and for those who didn't I''ll explain. This is like sweet cottage cheese in chocolate. very tasty and you need to eat it cold. So I ate and remembered....

Don't tell me you don't remember that, victims of the former USSR childhood!) We could sell our soul for "Turbo" and "Donald duck". And do you remember the feelings when you read the text on the picture from "Love is..."? Some pictures were connected with bed-topic and we were blushed coz we were kids))))))

After that I remembered the most sacred wish of every person under 10 of that times. It was:

Yes! Our first "Kinder - surprise" eggs with that lovely toys. I still have that crocodiles and penguins and lions and hippos on my shelf. Do you have them?

My father used to have business affairs with some European countries in 90's so once he bought me the girlish dream of every girl of the ex- USSR :-))))

Oh yes! I felt that I had everything and my life is full-filled :)))) What a naive girl I was. But at that time the german Barbie was like having a new Bentley nowadays. All girls were envying me at that moment. But I was happy.

We, children of the USSR, didn't have so many toys as modern children have, but we went to the backyard and we had a nice game called "The knives".

What you needed to do is draw a circle, then you throw a knife, and cut as many land as you can. The winner is the owner of the biggest territory inside the circle. I loved that game!!!)))

Automatically I remembered the delicious natural food from the shops. though sometimes you could;t buy something coz of crisis but I remember all those cartons and boxes with milk and mayonnaise and so on :)))

And of course - back in USSR's chocolate dream :)

This is my history. Maybe someone's too. Nowadays there are so many products and things around us and we became a society of consumers that value nothing but its desire and wish. I miss the times when "Kinder-surprise" was just WOW and a hot news for the kids in the backyard. I miss the feeling when I got my Barbie and I was so damnly happy and I thought I'm the happiest girl on this planet who has a real Barbie - doll from Germany.

I think it's time to value small joys and happiness in our life and stop consuming and getting from this world. Let's start the back process. I mean - giving something in turn.

What about your past? Can you share something with me too?

p.s. I would be happy to see people who had the same past in his or her childhood and can put some photos here, too. Thank you for your attention.

Always yours, Honey Bee

Honey,

I also experienced communism era in my country and agree with everything you mentioned. We had here this ice cream in the paper you showed - it is called here btw Russian Ice Cream :-D Now I remembered we collected Céčka (TSE:CHKA) - letter C, later they came up with other letters, we made big chains of them:

Later when I was older, my parents brought me from their trip to Germany WALKMAN :-D ohhhhh myyyyy, it was awesome gift, I had sth like this but red one:

We used to play also many games outside, we spent a lot of time with other kids, not like nowadays and m really happy for the childhood I had. Thanx for sharing!!!!

I often buy this sweet milk and eat it with white bread and tea. And do you remember how we could boil this cans with milk in the sauce pan in hot water? And "varenaya sgyschenka" was the best delicious sweet stuff in our life :)))))

Anah, thanks for answering.
