Fabrics from the USSR with Soviet planes, tractors, all kinds of revolutionary and ideological symbols.
The Soviet Union was an unusual state. On the one hand in the USSR the best values were sung - such as kindness, honesty, hard work, a strong family, sports, loyalty to the fatherland and patriotism. On the other hand, in practice, the Soviet Union was a state that deeply did not care about the life of any single person.
Every person in the USSR had to be an obedient cog in the system, performing the tasks assigned to him, while having a minimum of freedom and his own opinion.
The tasks and plans in the USSR were not bad - building communism, but the plans were not destined to come true. Now we can remember that great and very cruel time, looking at posters and Soviet fabrics, at the beginning of the 20th century.
It was at the very beginning, when the Soviet state was very young, that the most unusual fabrics of the USSR saw the light of day. For the rest of the time, nothing of the kind has been produced in the USSR.
The beginning of the 20th century, a period of industrialization and electrification of the entire country, a time of great hopes. Factories are being built, soaring to the heavens with smoking chimneys, tractors are biting into virgin lands, planes are flying - there is a great future ahead! All this was reflected in Soviet fabrics.
After 50 years, the hopes and dreams of millions of people who put their whole lives on achieving the ideals of the Soviet state have vanished like smoke.
Today similar fabrics of the early USSR we can only see in museums, exhibitions and photographs in books and on the Internet. It's not easy to meet a piece of Soviet fabric, or a dress made from such chintz!
