Scent of a [Socialist] Woman: Red Moscow Perfume

In the USSR, there was one floral scent which could be called the scent of success: the scent of Krasnaya Moskva - "Red Moscow," the perfume favored by the Kremlin wives and the country's lucrative Communist party elite. Let's take a whiff of its flowery past.

Unfortunate Profile Pictures, Slavic Style

Though making an ass out of yourself on the internet is not culturally exclusive, let's gander at the Slavic strain of the phenomena, distinguished by a joyous lack of judgement, heavy abuse of photoshop, and an abundance of wall carpets.

Alice In Wonderland, Perfected in 1981

With all the anticipatory hoopla on Tim Burton's Alice about, here's a perfectly-timed glimpse back into the devious, delirious animated Wonderland, Soviet style. READ ME!

The Soviet Scooter

In 1953, a year when Dwight Eisenhower became President, Soviet engineers produced something quite outstanding: the scooter. Just like almost everything else in the USSR, the scooter was initially a brick in the propaganda wall -- it was supposed to become the means of transportation which your typical Soviet citizen could buy for their average two-month paycheck (just like Lenin promised.) And the engineers delivered, by accidentally producing a masterpiece.

Filya, Hrusha, Stepahska and Karkusha Will Put You To Sleep

Since Soviet times, these humble hand puppets have lead Russian children into primordial explorations of morals, codes of behavior, and neuroses. Filya the dog, Hrusha the piglet, Stepashka the baby rabbit, and Karkusha the crow (not pictured, fondly remembered) came to many of us on a nightly television program Good Night, Little Ones! They hopped around, talked and did stuff - then there was a cartoon! Though the actual adventures of our talking-animal friends have faded from memory, we know that each one was special, with its own traits, dreams, and personality disorders.

Russian Titling Dolls

For generations of Soviet children, this was their first toy. The Russian Tilting Doll - Nevalashka - is a classic. This leering, snowman-round, colorful girl-creature is an iconic artifact and fuzzy, ting-a-ling memory for most, even those who arrived into childhood after the fall of the Union.

An Anti-Democracy Truck Ride, Anyone?

Thank you, The New York Times for bringing to our attention the Anti-Democracy truck. Deep in the snow-covered lands of Siberia, the proletariat workers assemble the odd-looking (like all other Russian-made cars) vehicle designed for breaking up demonstrations and strikes. The steel beast can bump the protesting crowd with its reinforced bumper, can assault them with the terrible noise and, of course, hit them with the water cannon.

One Cup to Rule Them All

When a greedy capitalist slips a few coins into a vending machine, he arrogantly expects his own individually prepackaged soda. But the citizens of the U.S.S.R were prepared to share—everything from public housing to sidewalk soda pop. Behold, the sacramental chalice of Soviet carbonated beverages.
