Ordinary Life in Extraordinary Times: Soviet Union [15:22]
Some of the daily life for the average citizens in the Soviet Union in the 70's-80's. The little girl in the video is me at the age of 2, 4 and 5. Filmed in Mitishi, the little, industrial town, not far from Moscow. You could see several children playgrounds near my house, Town Park with some old carousels called 'Daisy' and 'Boats'. The second part of the film was made in Moscow at the All-Russia Exhibition Centre/Exhibition of Achievements of the National Economy. The exhibition place had about 80 pavilions and area of 700000 square metres. Each pavilion had been dedicated to a particular industry or a field. You could see Central Pavilion and Space Pavilion in the film. I want to say a big thank you to Alexandr Valinov who is an operator and director of the film. Great job. Directed, produced by Alexandr Valinov.

Here, you may feel you need a translator, or a tour guide, like Dave Garbarskiy. Onward down Brighton Beach Avenue, at M & I International Food, locals stock up on fresh-made breads and other provisions. While there, also sample Russian-style eats like cured cold cuts, variations of pickled fish, and Pir-oj-ki: fried pastries with either a savory or a sweet-filled center. Fresh apricot or mango juices often accompany meals at cafes, and you can sample a variety of dishes for under ten dollars. Of course everyone in Russia needs a fur coat, and maybe a fox fur hat, as warm as they are stylish. Luckily, David's uncle owns a store down the street! When you commit to long train rides to the outskirts of New York City, you'll be amazed by the things you discover. It's not necessarily that Brighton Beach looks like Russia - it looks like any other neighborhood in Brooklyn. What makes it Russian is the people you meet, the sound of the language and the music in the streets, the foods you get ...
