We, too, had an excellent canteen at the institute, the food was good and not expensive, and there was a lunch break... Now the interesting thing was that the break started at 1:15, and classes started at 8:00. If you ran very fast after the bell, you would have lunch; if you just ran, you would stand in line for about 40 minutes.
Speaking of the army regimen in the training camp, breakfast was 8:30 and lunch was 3pm.
Yes, there was a silly thing back then, you could see a sign on the canteen door saying "CLOSED FOR Dinner".
Hey, you're lucky. I remember our polytechnic canteen, a kilometre away it smelled strongly of rotten cabbage, and it was difficult for an untrained person to approach it - it made my eyes water. The cabbage was never thrown away.
You were just unlucky, in our Polytechnic University we had an excellent canteen, at least one of them at the chemistry department. There were several canteens, but the chemistry faculty had the best one. The side dish of stewed cabbage was simply genius, very delicate dish with butter. No matter how many times I tried it myself, I couldn't make it.

This is a peculiarity of the mentality; every canteen has a few fans who smack their tongues and say "oh what a nice canteen, oh how well they feed you", the same goes for moonshine. It's not an argument. Unless you check it out for yourself... I checked when I was a student, there were guys there - "oh what a good canteen", went to this good canteen once... but it's understandable with them - they were locals, they saved money, they ate breakfast and dinner at home anyway.

My student canteen: porridge = 7 kopeks, a portion of butter = 7 kopeks. Bread and sugar on the table in any quantity.
Anyone, in proportion to his or her ability and diligence, could enter university. The state paid a student 35 roubles in the junior years and 42.50 in the senior years. It was the state, not the other way round.
Dormitory + scholarship + construction unit = it was possible to live without starvation and without being clothed.
The result was a perfect social lift: anyone who wished to go up irrespective of the tribe and financial situation of their parents.

The result was a perfect social lift: anyone who wished to rise through the ranks could do so, regardless of his or her family background or the financial state of his or her parents.
That was the peculiarity of the mentality - to be kept by the Tsar.
So what's the use of letting anyone who wanted to enter and graduate? What is the level of education? Our institute with thousands of students, the largest in the region, a technical one, lectures in mathematics with 250 students delivered by a candidate of mathematical sciences. Wow - half the country has a doctor of mathematics.

Yes, back then higher education was available to anyone who wanted to study, but not everyone managed to finish university. In our group, 30 per cent of our students failed by graduation. Nowadays anyone who fails can get good grades, if only they had the money. I understand what kind of specialists they turn into, but many of them become managers later on, because it doesn't depend on their knowledge).
Have you still not realised how much Soviet education was disconnected from reality?
This is the central feature of the mentality - to be kept by the Tsar.
So what's the use of the fact that anyone who wanted to get in and finish? What is the level of education? We have an institute with thousands of students, the largest in the region, a technical one, lectures in mathematics for a flow of 250 people are given by a candidate of mathematical sciences. Amazing - half the country has a doctor of mathematics.
Once again I am convinced that we lived in different countries:
