5 Everyday Habits That Give Away a Person Born in the USSR
08.07.2024 10:38
Many people who were born before the collapse of the Soviet Union have certain habits.
A person born in the USSR is “identified” by these behavior patterns.
What actions exactly are we talking about?
Fix things, don't throw them away
Many modern people easily part with torn clothes and broken devices. After all, you can buy new ones.
But in Soviet times, not every person had such an opportunity: difficulties associated with acquiring many things made themselves felt.
The shortage forced people to treat objects with care.
The men were in no hurry to throw away the devices that stopped working: first they tried to repair them.
And women were busy mending clothes, rather than rushing to throw torn items of clothing into the trash.
Many people who lived in the USSR have retained similar habits to this day.
DIY
The ability to make certain things with your own hands was highly valued in Soviet times.
That is why many people created many decorations, boxes, toys, gardening accessories, etc. themselves.
Canning
A person born in the USSR is highly likely to make pickles himself.
And this is quite understandable: home-canned vegetables are usually tastier than store-bought ones.
Don't throw away bread
In Soviet times, people treated bread with care.
Many members of the older generation still have a negative attitude towards the fact of throwing away bakery products.
Such people reason as follows: “Why throw away stale bread if you can make croutons out of it?”
Cleaning before the holidays
Many people still have the habit of tidying up their home before important dates.
After all, you want to celebrate the New Year or some other holiday in a clean environment.
Earlier we talked about what prevents a person from achieving financial freedom.
