Socialist City

- (Soviet Union series, Part 1) The rigors of everyday living in the Soviet Union persist in spite of reforms which promise greater personal freedom and improvement in the economy and quality of life. The Socialist State controls marriage, housing, education, medical care, employment, even clothing and food. If one can't find a job on one's own, the State can send you anywhere for employment, and wages are very low. Long lines, poor quality and limited selection makes shopping for food and other necessities demoralizing, sapping the physical strength and morale of Soviet citizens.
