My wife is Bulgarian and spent some of her childhood in the USSR before her parents managed to get out (via South Africa). A very clear memory for her is her Grandfather waiting 6 hours in line to get a banana because she said she wanted one, when she was about 4 or 5. It's so weird to see the same sentiments echoed, yet makes sense given the above.
