Ставлення до грошей у СРСР: «сервіз для гостей», шапки з нутрії і недовіра до банків

Why was money considered “evil” in the Soviet Union, and why were people afraid to spend money on new things and put it aside for a “rainy day”? Why did propaganda convince that “money doesn’t buy happiness,” and why did older people distrust banks so much that they hid money under their pillows? In the new episode of “Farewell, Empire,” Olesya Kotubey-Herutskaya and her guests search for the roots of these attitudes. We talk about the economic traumas that shaped the USSR and how they still affect us. Thanks to the Sil' brand for the image of the host.
