How could I not have discussed.... A caravan...
And another question- does Airbus that sold the A320 production licence to China count or not?
The country used to be populated by creators.... and now it's all Abramovichs...
It's a matter of principle to me.
And if we are talking about the shortcomings of the USSR, I think I know a lot more about them than you do. But the faults are gone with the USSR, and we're living on the virtues.
I don't know about the creators. Sawing with a file in a young technician's club is not creativity. Creativity was just a stunted thing. Mayakovsky, for example, if you compare the early period and the Soviet period. Even the poet walked in formation in his poems.
All for creativity... they had the coolest aeroplane in the world. And the children in the shop for painting have one type of brush, made of shimmying shield and that's not always the case.
) Well, I was kidding about the schtriekelnickelpuppers! No offence taken. Maybe you weren't.
No hard feelings. Okay, then. Then let's move on. I want to talk about people's associations with different countries.
I'm hooked on the popular American series The Big Bang Theory. I've watched all the episodes, some of them several times. It's similar to "Friends". Only the plot is about everyday life of young American technical intelligentsia. There a pure comedy of regulations diluted by dialogues with scientific theories, such as string theory or the Big Bang.
So that's what they associate countries with in their dialogues. Italy and Thailand with the food they order from restaurants. Germany with cars. Switzerland, not cheese and watches, but the Large Hadron Collider. They know about Kazakhstan because Baikonur is there. And they associate Russia with achievements in space. According to the story, one character, Howard Volovets, even learned Russian because of the space and flew freer with our cosmonauts to the ISS.
I don't dispute that Ukraine has a lot of great things to associate the idea of the country with, but the one tag "The country with the biggest aeroplane in the world" by this sale Ukraine loses.
I don't know about creators. Sawing with a file in junior high is not creativity. Creativity has been nailed down. I mean, Mayakovsky, if you compare the early period to the Soviet period. Even the poet walked in formation in his poems.
And where did the planes discussed above come from? Their files?
And the rockets?, and the atom?, and the world's biggest railway, the biggest excavator for coal mining, and the world's biggest lowest cost coal mining company? One company produced more coal than the whole of Great Britain with Thatcher and the Queen.
And the music, the ballet, and the artists who are still at auction?
And up to 400 films a year?
And literature?
And sport?
Shall we continue?
Just remember our socialist achievements. Always. Because all these achievements are a part of all of us, even those born after '90.
And the shortcomings should be remembered only when they are again popping up...
That's the only way.

I don't argue Ukraine has a lot of great things to associate the idea of the country with, but one tag "The country that has the biggest aeroplane in the world" is lost by this sale to Ukraine.
once again - production under licence is not a sale of intellectual value. An iPhone assembled in China does not become un-American.
Well, it wasn't worth sitting on technology that's over 30 years old and waiting for it to rot just because of the loss of one tag. Is it more expensive than money?
P.S. They associate Germany with Sheldon's sausage poisoning.

If you watch a talk show in Ukraine, you hear a lot! Nothing but garbage...
For me, the problem is purely economic.
When the USSR collapsed, Ukraine was left with the fattest piece of the USSR: in terms of production, technology, science, education....
But the principle and insurmountable problem was the small population of that country - 50 million people were not able not only to develop, but also to service the whole obtained economy. So selling Mriya was absolutely the right move. I don't know if there were any attempts to make a joint venture like Russia is doing, but there is no point in waiting any longer.
In the long run, Ukraine has two alternatives:
That's why Ukraine doesn't lose - we all lost when we were cut into 15 smaller pieces.
PS.
RF in terms of its population also cannot claim the scientific and technical level that the USSR had. it is believed that the country's population should be over 300 million.
And where did the planes discussed above come from? Their file?
1. what about rockets? what about the atom? what about the world's biggest railway, the biggest excavator for coal mining, and the world's biggest lowest cost coal mining company? One company produced more coal than the whole of the UK with Thatcher and the Queen.
2. And music, and ballet, and artists who are still at auctions?
And up to 400 films a year?
And literature?
And sport?

This is the only way.
1. As they say usually boys are testing their dicks, but it turns out that soviet boys are testing their daddy's dicks. What do I care about the biggest rockets, the biggest railways and excavators? You lied about the best excavator, in the USSR they looked at the Caterpillar with their mouths open, do not try to argue with that.
2. Where, what music? I remember every day on the radio - Robertino Loretti Jamaica, commissioned by Leonid Illich. Painting - it was only after perestroika that certain genres of painting became known for some reason, whereas before that there had been an especially selective approach to painting. San Sanych, name at least one artist. Ballet... yes, ballet. And where is this ballet? No one has even seen it on TV. Every day, only Moiseyev's dance (they were great dancers, I will not argue with that, but it is the only thing, and not for everyone).
3. What films? Just remember how many people flocked to French films. Soviet cinema will never compare to French cinema and modern Russian cinema will never compare to American cinema. Even Korean films are now superior to Russian ones. Don't you know about the story of Kramorov in the USSR? - Disgraceful!
4. Literature? What did you read as a kid? Dumas, Cooper, Conan Doyle... Shall I go on?
5. And people benefit from this professional sport. I grew up next to a school for Olympic reserve, they took the most talented athletes and they did it all just to prove to the world that the Soviet Union was not worse than others (or superior). It was just for show.
San Sanych, you are a typical victim of propaganda.
Дмитрий:
We are talking about an aircraft developed over 30 years ago - only the fuselage design is unique to the Chinese...
Well, an aircraft's fuselage is its undercarriage. It's not like the body of a car. I can imagine how many and what kind of full-scale experiments had to be done to get acceptable aerodynamics for such a giant. Do they even now perform aerodynamic testing of life-size hull samples in the tube? Not that I know of. It's very expensive and energy intensive. Everything is designed on computers.
Once again, manufacturing under licence is not a sale of intellectual value. An iPhone assembled in China does not become un-American.
Well, it wasn't worth sitting on technology that's over 30 years old and waiting for it to rot just because of the loss of one tag. Is it more expensive than money?
P.S. They associate Germany with Sheldon's sausage poisoning.
Once again, we are not talking about mass-produced goods, we are talking about unique, strategic products.
And there is no need to sit and wait. If they could rebuild the old plane, they could make a new one.
I'm glad you've been watching The Big Bang Theory. I'm reminded of episode 13 of season 1. At the physics cup at the university, all the smart American PhDs got beaten by a guy from Leningrad, who works as a caretaker at the university! and happened to be on the quiz.
It was at the 16th minute, after the question about how a quantum computer multiplies large numbers and about Shor's algorithm.

The show's worth watching, though. Especially the first few seasons. In this series played themselves real celebrities Stephen Hawking, Elon Musk, Steve Wozniak and other American scientists and media stars.
Added. The link takes you to the first episode for some reason. You have to click on season 1 episode 13 below.

That's it! Let's say it's out! And what to do with it? For 30 years, one Mriya has filled the niche of large-size air transportation. To finish this Mriya is over $1 billion. It is finished! What is next - how to pay back a yard?
P.S. This is a very sad moment, in fact - a Soviet physicist, graduated from Leningrad Polytechnic, working in the US as a caretaker.
P.P.S. Watch it only in Courage Bombay's voiceover.
