Grozir:
In the USSR it was all about Love, now it's all about Sex.

Now it's either for love or for settlement, which is most often the case.

[Vitaliy Maznev]

Aleksey Nikolayev:

But there were revolutionary sexual precepts)

Very interesting data. And quite sensible ideas, unlike the current trends. Which is true, somewhat exaggerated at the expense of formal morality and ethics. But we are talking about health, purity and responsibility. Responsibility conscious and internal, not as a whip of social restrictions, which always provokes protest.

I used to watch the famous USSR-USA teleconference where the phrase "There is no sex in the USSR!" came on. The whole audience and the Soviet Union laughed. But I understood that the aunt was referring to pornography. It was just that at the time the word sex had a connotation.

That's what I meant when I wrote it here. Yura, however, seemed to take my words seriously :)

She didn't mean porn, she meant prostitution. In her mind, sex could only be for money, no feelings, and everything else only for love. Even if it was cheating...

There, Posner himself, who hosted the teleconference many times in various interviews, recalled that the Western side complained about pornography on TV (even she talked about TV advertising). And the woman from the USSR side blurted out:

- "We don't have sex and we are categorically against it..." - and at this point the teleconference broke off. Although the woman immediately added:

- "... On television...".

However, the moment when the connection was cut off, caused immense speculation and it is ridiculed to this day, even by those who have no idea where this phrase about the fact that there is no sex in the USSR came from.

Well, I'm not going to argue. I watched that programme, but so inattentively that I might have misunderstood.

- Listen, Koshkin...

- I'm not Koshkin. I'm Kashkin.

- Listen, Kashkin, you need to add another "ka" to your last name.

- What do you get? Kashka???

In 1982, Larry Walters, a resident of Los Angeles, decided to fulfil a long-held dream - to fly, but not by plane. He invented his own way of travelling by air. Walters attached forty-five helium-filled weather balloons, each one a metre in diameter, to a comfortable armchair. He sat down in his chair, taking a supply of sandwiches, a beer and a shotgun. On cue, his friends untied the rope holding the chair. Larry Walters was about to make a smooth ascent of only thirty meters, but the chair took off like a cannon for five kilometres.

Completely stiffened, Walters didn't risk firing the balloons at that height to descend. The wretched balloonist was carried for a long time in the clouds until finally the radar of the Los Angeles airport picked it up. Walters still dared to shoot some balloons and managed to get down to the ground. But the ropes on which the deflated balloons were hanging became entangled in high-voltage wires, causing a short circuit. An entire area of Long Beach was left without power.

When Walters was on the ground, he was immediately arrested. When asked by police, "Why did you do that?" he replied, "Well, you can't just sit around doing nothing all the time."
