Silly Commie, there's no money to be found in your economic system! But then there's also no food to be found, either...
But for a minute of not trolling -
Actual image of a Soviet grovery storet in 1990, taken from a documentary shot that year, from what I understand.
And an image of Boris Yeltsin visiting a Randall's store in Clear Lake, Texas, September, 1989.
Yeltsin, then 58, “roamed the aisles of Randall’s nodding his head in amazement,” wrote Asin. He told his fellow Russians in his entourage that if their people, who often must wait in line for most goods, saw the conditions of U.S. supermarkets, “there would be a revolution.”
“Even the Politburo doesn’t have this choice. Not even Mr. Gorbachev,” he said.
“When I saw those shelves crammed with hundreds, thousands of cans, cartons and goods of every possible sort, for the first time I felt quite frankly sick with despair for the Soviet people,” Yeltsin wrote. “That such a potentially super-rich country as ours has been brought to a state of such poverty! It is terrible to think of it.”
Bahh, I got too serious. But the pictures and story of Yeltsin's visit to the United States has been a favorite of mine since I discovered it some time ago. So I'll take an excuse to bring it up from time to time. :p
