People that lived in the USSR, what was it like?
I'm interested in hearing about the personal experiences of living in the USSR without making it a political conversation. Rather, just what life was like, the good and the bad, from a nonjudgmental human perspective.

I don't get it :/
You have to understand that religion was banned by the communist regime of the day. Admitting to it could get you locked up.
But my dad, as a tourist making this casual observation about flagrant rule-breaking going on in plain sight even as he spoke, broke the tension completely and made the locals admit there is a lot of rule-breaking going on everywhere.
Ahh, okay. That makes sense. Thanks for sharing and explaining it :)
