this is fake everyone knows the ussr has no food its all plastic and they took th photo to trick people into thinking they have food.
I remember once on r/oldschoolcool someone uploaded a picture of their dad in the 70s Soviet Union grilling (proving that
transcends nationality and political ideology) on a beach and all the comments were saying it was fake because gommunism no food, it was peak reddit.
I dated a girl from a former Eastern Bloc country and she once showed me some pics of her grandpa camping somewhere in the Carpathian's with her grandma and dad as a kid My sister was SHOCKED when she saw them cuz she didn't realize people went CAMPING IN GOMMUNIST RUZZIA!
It's wild how many people straight up think that people never had fun in the Eastern Bloc
The media does a good job at representing Soviet Russia as a gloomy place where the laws are stricter than Saudi Arabia or the UAE. Even those countries manage to have have fun doing the same mundane things westerners do.
I always like to point out that the first woman in space was chosen in part because she had experience parachuting (as the space capsule at that time required you to bail out and parachute down on your own). Where did she get experience parachuting? In an "Aero Club" in Yaroslavl, which she joined while employed as a textile worker.
In the USSR women were forced to parachute out of planes even if what they really wanted to do was work another shift in the textile plant.
Go to ~~Gulag~~ work all the time!
The biggest mystery of Dyatlov Pass is how they got the required experience anyway.
Or their equipment. The equipment probably came from aliens.
Ah yes the North Korea meal plan, fake food to fool tourists from Vice.
I'd feed Vice "reporters" fake food too. Honestly completely understandable and common DPRK W.
It's all Potemkin Canapes
