Funny phrases from the times of the USSR. Winged Soviet expressions

Buying a diploma of higher education means securing a happy and successful future. Nowadays, without documents on higher education, it will not be possible to get a job anywhere. Only with a diploma can you try to get to a place that will bring not only benefits, but also pleasure from the work performed. Financial and social success, high social status- that's what brings the possession of a diploma of higher education.

Immediately after the end of the last school class, most of yesterday's students already know for sure which university they want to enter. But life is unfair, and situations are different. You can not get into the chosen and desired university, and the rest of the educational institutions seem unsuitable for a variety of reasons. Such a life “treadmill” can knock out any person from the saddle. However, the desire to become successful does not go anywhere.

The reason for the absence of a diploma may also be the fact that you failed to take budget place. Unfortunately, the cost of education, especially at a prestigious university, is very high, and prices are constantly creeping up. Nowadays, not all families can pay for the education of their children. So and financial question can lead to the lack of documents on education.

The same problems with money can become the reason that yesterday's schoolboy instead of the university goes to the construction site to work. If family circumstances suddenly change, for example, the breadwinner dies, there will be nothing to pay for education, and the family needs to live on something.

It also happens that everything goes well, you manage to successfully enter a university and everything is in order with training, but love happens, a family is formed and there is simply not enough strength or time to study. Moreover, much more money especially if a child appears in the family. Paying for education and supporting a family is extremely expensive and one has to sacrifice a diploma.

barrier to getting higher education it may also be that the university chosen in the specialty is located in another city, perhaps quite far from home. Parents who do not want to let go of their child, the fears that a young man who has just graduated from school may experience in front of an unknown future, or the same lack of necessary funds, can interfere with studying there.

As you can see, there are a lot of reasons not to get the desired diploma. However, the fact remains that without a diploma, relying on a well-paid and prestigious job is a waste of time. At this moment comes the realization that it is necessary to somehow resolve this issue and get out of this situation. Anyone who has the time, energy and money decides to enter the university and get a diploma in an official way. Everyone else has two options - not to change anything in their lives and stay vegetating in the backyard of fate, and the second, more radical and bold - to buy a specialist, bachelor's or master's degree.

A little more and it will be 20 years since the USSR was gone. A country in which many were born and lived for a sufficient number of years. Memory is a very selective thing. And remembers only the good, joyful or funny. The last one is especially nice. After all, the Soviet Union was, although a very strict "machine", but there was plenty of madness, paradoxes, and therefore uncontrollable laughter.

Funny phrases from the times of the USSR

The funniest phrases of that time have come down to us thanks to Soviet cinema, popular and "watchable" until now. Ideology - generally Zhvanetsky cubed. Children with kindergarten drove such nonsense into their unintelligent heads, it is hard to believe that it was serious. They assured that in the USSR the most happy people and the stores were empty. Sorry, there was nothing to eat. And what sometimes was, it was impossible to eat, that's why they ate, closing their nose and eyes.

Communist holidays almost every week. And everyone dropped out of school and work. And they drew stupid slogans. "Let's complete the study plan by 250%"! I have never seen a funnier phrase. How can you plan your studies in percentages? And how to understand this: to study at 250%!? Is it that everyone should be Einsteins and Lomonosovs, or else they will not be allowed into this very one, their "lure" - communism?

And this crazy agitation about communism, which is about to come, or in a year. Complete nonsense, but many believed. When there is no money at all. And why, because everything can be taken in stores for free, and as much as you want, without restrictions. But the funny thing is: you can work as long as you want, even all day, even for an hour, but you want, once a week, communism, everything is possible for everyone, paradise. And again, believe! Honestly. Why was this black seriously, it is not clear.

And Lenin is so smart, young. And, for some reason, he was more alive than all the living. This garbage was said and written on every corner. Although everyone knew that he was calmly lying to himself in his cozy mausoleum. Why he is more alive than all of us put together is also a mystery. And laughter, and sin.

And the songs, in general, are masterpieces of world humor. “I don’t have an address guys. My address is the Soviet Union! Write, in other words, to the village of grandfather, but what kind of village? So it's like her: the Soviet Union, Vasya Pupkov. Everything is simple.

“I’m not going to Siberia for money. And behind the smell of some kind of taiga! Oh how. What money, the smell of cedar and I'm ready even to Siberia, even to the Kolyma. To work for it, the main thing is that there is a smell. Again, they believed and went. But, having sniffed a little of the local smell, they quickly returned like that. Nothing, let's come up with new songs and funny phrases that the Epigraf.su website offers, others will come in large numbers. And it was almost yesterday! Yes, gentlemen, the USSR is a treasure trove of idiocy and humor at the same time.

On October 26, 1932, Stalin called the writers "engineers human souls". This definition immediately became a "meme". Of course, this word was not known in the USSR, but there were more aphorisms with a viral effect in the Union than in modern Russia. The role of propaganda in the USSR was never underestimated. Socialist realism as a creative method was created largely to glorify the merits of Soviet power. Writers in the USSR were free in their artistic ambitions to a certain extent. When "engineering developments" went beyond the boundaries of the Party Plans, the reality for the "engineers" could change beyond recognition. Camps, exiles and even executions were the answer for miscalculations.

2. “There is NO SEX in the USSR!”

One of the favorite phrases of anti-Soviet people of all stripes, with which they wanted to demonstrate the absurdity of the Soviet way of life. In fact, not everything was so simple with this meme: journalism calls it a phrase taken out of its context. She sounded in 1986 during the Moscow-Boston teleconference "Women talk to women." An American asked: “In our TV advertising, everything revolves around sex. Do you have such TV commercials?” An unknown Soviet woman stood up and answered: “We don’t have sex, and we are categorically against it!”. Of course, the participant of the teleconference meant erotica and pornography, and not the absence of sexual intercourse in the Soviet Union as a fact. However, the meme has firmly settled in the minds of citizens: for example, it was adopted by some Soviet women who so jokingly cut off the sexual claims of gentlemen.

3. "LIFE HAS BECOME BETTER, LIFE HAS BECOME HAPPIER!"

Joseph Stalin uttered this full of positive phrase at the congress of "Stakhanovite" workers in 1935. Over time, after Khrushchev condemned the Stalinist cult, this meme began to be said summing up some unpopular decision of the authorities: monetary reform 1961, the abolition of payments on government loans, an increase in food prices. The heroes of the film “Operation Y” paraphrase this meme. “To live, as they say, is good, but to live well is even better!”.

4. "PROLETARIANS OF ALL COUNTRIES, UNITE!"

This call was the most widespread and recognizable in the USSR, as it stood as a slogan in every Soviet newspaper. However simple people did not fully understand the greatness of this phrase and used it as a suggestion to have a drink after a working day.

5. SIMPLE SOVIET MAN

The meme appeared in the element of the Russian language with the light hand of Vasily Lebedev Kumach, who wrote the almost eponymous song "Soviet Simple Man" in 1946. In particular, there were the following words:
Proudly walking along the pole,
Changes the flow of rivers
High mountains are shifting
Soviet common man.
It is curious that over time, Soviet citizens began to use this meme (with malicious irony) in relation to all sorts of crooks "living on unearned income." Probably due to the fact that the latter were often covered by the title of "simple Soviet man during police interrogations.

6. “I DID NOT READ, BUT I JUDGE!”

This phrase was uttered by the writer Anatoly Safronov in 1958 at a meeting of the Union of Soviet Writers, at which Boris Pasternak was condemned, who published his novel Doctor Zhivago abroad. In the days of the late USSR, this meme was used to mock Soviet reactionary critics who opposed the publication in the Soviet Union of the works of Alexander Solzhenitsyn, Leonid Grossman, Vladimir Voinovich and others condemning the policy of Stalinist repressions.
Around the same time, the phrase was adopted school teachers in literature, which so urged negligent students.

7. "WHO DOES NOT WORK SHALL NOT EAT"

This meme has firmly settled in the "phrasebook" Soviet citizen: fathers scolded with the help of his sons, foremen - lazy workers, district policemen - parasites. In addition, the phrase was replicated by millions Soviet posters. The basis was taken from a quote from one of Lenin's works, where the leader of the USSR wrote: "He who does not work, let him not eat" - this is understandable to every worker. However, few people knew that Ilyich borrowed a phrase from the New Testament, the second letter of the Apostle Paul to the Thessalonians, which says: “For when we were with you, we bequeathed this to you: if anyone does not want to work, then do not eat.” The phrase was “inverted” in the film “Operation Y and Shurik’s Other Adventures” and sounded in a new way as “Who does not work, then eats. Learn student".

(USSR (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, also Soviet Union) - a state that existed from 1922 to 1991 on the territory of Eastern Europe, North, parts of Central and East Asia.)
