This looks like from 1910s, but the cars, and the poverty is obvious.
“Here’s my keys , just move my Renault 12 for me “ ………2 days later .
Seems like the “gray” was a real thing… a lot of dirt ಠ_ಠ
I would call it a dictatorship, not socialism.
I actually prefer 1986 to 2024, maybe because I’m Italian.
All these different, colorful brands, and yet they’re all owned by the state.
The socialist paradise.
Fuck that hell!
No sane person, who had opportunity to live under soviet (or pseudo-socialist) regime, would want to repeat it.
for me it is unbelievable that some fellow citizens miss those times
B-b-but I thought communism was based? Holodomor?What’s that
I’ve been to Bucharest last summer and obviously you still have a lot of “soviet housing” but my oh my did Bucharest had a glow up. In the center it can easily challenge any other European City, including Vienna.
Socialist Regime? You mean Communist Regime! Jesus don’t give Americans more reasons to mix up the two!
Incredible transformation and Romania today is a different country which is progressing very rapidly.
The market is so minimalistic. You’ve got apples, apples, nothing, more apples, more nothing, nothing and apples. And please, stand in queue for apples.
I have looked at Romanian political history and see that a socialist party was voted into power in the 90’s. But can only find Communist rule before this. Can you maybe enlighten me as to when in 1986 the socialist were in control?
Communism is a cancer that needs to be eradicated at all costs.
Why so many signs?
Ogreland, just like today.
No traffic 🙂
At first glance I thought that was Korean writing on second picture.
50 shades of grey
It is 1986, it looks to me like scenes from “Only fools and horses” from London UK.
Reminds me of Naples, Italy
dictatorships suck
The city has improved almost unbelievably since then. Now the main problem is too many cars.
