1950s? they were still recovering from WWII. people worked their jobs, virtually everything was manufactured in USSR. clothing, furniture, industrial machinery, space craft, jet planes, toys, cars, tvs, radios, forks and knives, watches, etc. EVERYTHING. some unpaved streets were paved, old buildings remodelled, often changing their interesting architecture. life was life. for some good, some better, others not so good. like anywhere. but USSR had a lot of rebuilding after the war. even today, schoolchildren have clubs that go on battlefields and dig up to find helmets, guns, bullets, etc.

Jews controlled gulags and enjoyed killing Russians in concentration camps.

Jugashvilli (Stalin's real name) means son of Jew.

Stalin is covered in boiling water; when he tries to get out

demons push him back in.

May God have mercy on his soul.
