Fun fact, there were no commercials in the USSR. No TV advertisements as a genre, so nobody knew how to make these. And one of the first Soviet commercials I saw was already during perestroyka, and it was about Lada. It was 15 minutes long, and it featured a line (sorry, may be misremembering it a bit) "if your brand new car doesn't start, no worries! Just take a 10mm wrench, and tighten the battery bolts. See how easy it is!"
- encabulator 11mo ago> Fun fact, there were no commercials in the USSR. Actually there were, at least in some parts of USSR. Search youtube for "Harry Egipt" for some fun examples.
- jojobas 11mo agoThere actually were commercials and they were ridiculous. "Demand <product> in your local store". If you tried to demand something from the demigods of soviet trades you'd be laughed out of the neighborhood.
