Самые богатые республики СССР — как жилось тогда и что сейчас

The Baltics were called the "showcase of the Union." In Tallinn, there were several varieties of sausage, Finnish coffee, and quail eggs. But three kilometers away, in a village in Pskov, the shelves were empty. One country, one money—and yet it was like two different planets. But here's a question that's usually ignored: who was funding this "showcase"? Who was really paying for the luxurious lifestyle of the richest republics—and why did the one who fed the entire Union stand in line for bread? In this episode, we'll take a blunt look: who were the donors and who were the recipients of subsidies, where did the sausages from the Russian villages go, and what has become of these "showcases" today, now that the common pot has disappeared. A story remembered differently in every family. Did you live in those years? Where did you witness the richer and poorer people living—and who, in your opinion, was really feeding whom?
