I'd forgotten that business with Lydia's ice cream! (and sps for the clip as well) It turns out the oh-so-slavic фастфуд is a productive key word, which along with в СССР turns up all sorts of stuff, eg https://dzen.ru/a/ZMUdmvvciD8Z75RH https://dzen.ru/a/ZMUdmvvciD8Z75RH , http://lozhka-povarezhka.ru/vsyo-o-ede/5-ulichnyh-fastfudov-vo-vremena-sovetskogo-soyuza.html http://lozhka-povarezhka.ru/vsyo-o-ede/5-ulichnyh-fastfudov-... , and even https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9W5NJddmfM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9W5NJddmfM (25 min worth?) [and TIL those roosters were lollipops; what d'y'know... One of these days maybe I'll learn what one could buy with the 3 kopeck coins?]

The algorithm there flashed me a macD clip of the Gorbachevian and it hit me like a flag pole why Pepsi was emblematic of the Yeltsinian. https://youtu.be/ckbfS99N6jY?t=2m14s https://youtu.be/ckbfS99N6jY?t=2m14s

    One of the small freedoms gained in leaving the Old Country is freedom from the "would you like fries with that" shiny happy service people smiles :-) EDIT: > https://youtu.be/N1jhynHVMSw https://youtu.be/N1jhynHVMSw The street fishmonger at 3:20 explains Gazmanov's « ... тебя как рыбу к пиву подают. » Lagniappe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-CnWwbeetE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-CnWwbeetE EDIT: I see Pugacheva has vocal credits for "The Irony of Fate"; that means the Pugachevous period spans from the Brezhnevian through the Putinian epochs...

        Did anyone ever take ABP up on her suggestion they should brand her as a foreign agent? (Но что такое рыцарь без любви / И что такое рыцарь без удачи?) Пора пора порадуемся на своем веку Красавице и кубку счастливому клинку [is it just me, or do GEYK's Musketeers sound fairly close to advocating "Be excellent to each other and party on"?]
