Museums in the 50s and 60s. Museum of the sixties - Items of Soviet life - LJ


This is the brightest and most cheerful museum in Moscow. Here you can see the old radios, and they are still working, vinyl records, posters, sewing machines and round refrigerators, bulky black-and-white TVs and dishes that our grandmothers used. And thanks to this frank junk, lovingly called rarities, there is an atmosphere in which people of that time lived. And they were happy that progress had just burst into their lives in the form of this very, at that time, advanced technology, that ahead was an exceptionally bright future, which promises success and prosperity to all active and active people.

People of that time rejoiced at the simple opportunity to paint the wall at home in a bright color and hang a fashionable poster on it, they were delighted with buying a bottle of soda, and they were happy that pouring it into a faceted glass, through the transparent glass you can see how they seethe and rise up gas bubbles. The opportunity to listen to your favorite music in the apartment, watch interesting movies, read new books was a happiness and an incredible achievement.

It is this ability to rejoice simple things, to believe that ahead will be even better, freer, more fun, easier and distinguishes the world of the 60s from all other generations. And for these positive qualities we love this period - its life-affirming cinema, bravura music, sublime performances, books about heroic achievements. They convey to us an atmosphere to which we have nothing to do, but we can well imagine how hardened businessmen and masters of crime used these romantic people who expected only good things from their compatriots. How difficult it would be for them to believe that someone would need to turn their own bright world into a dull, gray and corrupt life everywhere, filled exclusively with money-grubbing, in order to possess not advanced, but necessary household appliances, without which our ancestors lived happily.
