previously forbidden books and articles get publicised. Solzhenitsyn, Rybakov,
huge lines to get vodka or any other liquor (limit 1 bottle per person)

For children, of course, it was wonderful time. From different kinds of social services like kindergardens, libraries, museums, sport clubs etc… it was very good.
But for their parents it was a constant search of products in shops. They were COMPLETELY empty. Just imagine, you come to the closest store or supermarket in your town. You see sellers,cashiers etc… and COMPLETELY empty shelves. Only bread and milk. You have high salary, money in your pocket, but you don’t have anything to buy: no furniture at all (you have to wait 5 years to buy a wardrobe), no meat, no clothes, no soap and toothpaste, no shoes, no panties and bras, no fruits and vegetables, no forks and knives, just completely empty stores.
That was beginning of the end.

It was a beautiful time. I was 10 years old in 1986 and it was the best time of my life.

People were thinking that Soviet propaganda about capitalism was wrong and Western countries are our friends.
They was wrong, so it was a sad time for USSR.
