An unforgettable sensation - a cool glass, water hissing with carbon dioxide and tickling bubbles bursting to freedom right through both nostrils. Soda is the most delicious childhood memory...

Favorite drinks
Of course, soda was not invented during the Soviet Union, but long before its appearance, but today we will only talk about the history of Soviet soda, which began in the 20s of the last century. It was then that USSR enterprises launched the production of sweetened sparkling water “Citro”, “Duchess”, “Buratino” and “Cream Soda”.
All the children liked these drinks. Natural fruit syrups and sugar gave them a unique taste.
Subsequently, food industry enterprises developed many more varieties of soda, among which, undoubtedly, the exotic and scarce drinks in the province “Baikal” and “Tarragon” stood out.
What were the most popular Soviet carbonated drinks made from?


"Citro"
Perhaps the oldest soft carbonated drink. In Soviet times, it was the proper name of one of the types of lemonade produced. Now often used by many people as a common name for all types of carbonated drinks. The Soviet “Citro” was created decades ago by selecting combinations of citric acid, sugar, flavorings and syrups of various citrus fruits. Thus, the aromatic basis of the Citro-Extra drink was infusions of orange, tangerine, lemon with the addition of vanillin.

"Pinocchio"
The most famous Soviet soda. The childhood of almost every person born in the Soviet Union is connected with Buratino. It was prepared very simply: water, sugar, lemons and oranges. Everything is natural, which is probably why it’s so tasty.
The bottle had a label with a picture of Pinocchio, and the cost of the drink was 10 kopecks “excluding the cost of tableware,” as they liked to write on Soviet bottles.


"Cream soda"
Highly carbonated soft drink. “Cream soda” is one of the first sparkling drinks, which began to be prepared on the basis of soda (carbonated) water, invented at the end of the 18th century, and ice cream (ice cream), hence the word “cream” in the name of the drink. Unlike “Lemonade”, in which the lemon base is the primary one (they began to fill it with gas later), in “Cream Soda” the flavoring component and carbonated water are necessary and obligatory components.

"Duchess"
The pear carbonated drink “Duchess” was an excellent substitute for sweets and cakes for Soviet children. Pear infusion was added to the usual lemonade base, and the picture was completed with lemons, sugar and carbon dioxide bubbles. Both children and adults adored this soda. After all, the aromatic, sweet pear lemonade “Duchess” perfectly quenched my thirst.
"Baikal"
The most popular and rather scarce carbonated drink in the late 70s of the last century was, of course, “Baikal”. It began to be produced in the USSR in 1973, but it began to be sold en masse before the Moscow Olympics-80. The drink almost immediately gained wild popularity. The composition of “Baikal” favorably distinguished the drink from its Western analogues: in addition to traditional water, sugar, citric acid, extracts of St. John’s wort, licorice root and eleutherococcus were added to it. As well as essential oils: eucalyptus, lemon, laurel and fir.

"Sayans"
The carbonated tonic drink “Sayany” was developed in the 70s of the last century by specialists from the All-Russian Research Institute of the Brewing, Non-Alcoholic and Wine Industry. The drink instantly became popular in the USSR, because, in addition to the usual lemonade base (lemon juice, sugar and sparkling water), it contained an extract of the mountain grass Leuzea, which gave it an original taste (wormwood bitterness and a slightly pine aroma) and a tonic effect.




"Tarragon"
The recipe for “Tarragon” appeared in the 19th century. It was invented by the pharmacist Mitrofan Lagidze, who lived in Tiflis (modern Tbilisi). He was the first to think of adding the extract of the famous Caucasian plant tarragon (tarragon) to sweetened sparkling water.


The drink appeared in mass production in 1981. And starting in 1983, “Tarragon” began to be produced and sold in many republics of the former USSR. The drink was made from water, citric acid, sugar and tarragon extract. In Soviet times, green dye was added to it. Now this dye is considered harmful, so manufacturers often tint this soda yellow, but bottle it in green bottles.

Buying a higher education diploma means securing a happy and successful future for yourself. Nowadays, without documents of higher education you will not be able to get a job anywhere. Only with a diploma can you try to get into a place that will bring not only benefits, but also pleasure from the work performed. Financial and social success, high social status - this is what possessing a higher education diploma brings.

Immediately after finishing their last school year, most of yesterday's students already know for sure which university they want to enroll in. But life is unfair, and situations are different. You may not get into your chosen and desired university, and other educational institutions seem unsuitable for a variety of reasons. Such a “trips” in life can knock any person out of the saddle. However, the desire to become successful does not go away.

The reason for the lack of a diploma may also be the fact that you were unable to take a budget place. Unfortunately, the cost of education, especially at a prestigious university, is very high, and prices are constantly creeping up. These days, not all families can pay for their children’s education. So a financial issue can also cause a lack of educational documents.

The same problems with money can become a reason for yesterday’s high school student to go to work in construction instead of university. If family circumstances suddenly change, for example, the breadwinner passes away, there will be nothing to pay for education, and the family needs to live on something.

It also happens that everything goes well, you manage to successfully enter a university and everything is fine with your studies, but love happens, a family is formed and you simply don’t have enough energy or time to study. In addition, much more money is needed, especially if a child appears in the family. Paying for tuition and supporting a family is extremely expensive and you have to sacrifice your diploma.

An obstacle to obtaining higher education may also be the fact that the university chosen for the specialty is located in another city, perhaps quite far from home. Studying there can be hampered by parents who do not want to let their child go, the fears that a young man who has just graduated from school may experience in front of an unknown future, or the same lack of necessary funds.

As you can see, there are a huge number of reasons for not getting the required diploma. However, the fact remains that without a diploma, counting on a well-paid and prestigious job is a waste of time. At this moment, the realization comes that it is necessary to somehow resolve this issue and get out of the current situation. Anyone who has time, energy and money decides to go to university and receive a diploma through the official means. Everyone else has two options - not to change anything in their lives and remain to vegetate on the outskirts of fate, and the second, more radical and courageous - buy a specialist diploma , bachelor's or master's degree. You can also purchase any document in Moscow

However, those people who want to get settled in life need a document that will be no different from the original document. That is why it is necessary to pay maximum attention to the choice of the company to which you will entrust the creation of your diploma. Take your choice with maximum responsibility, in this case you will have a great chance to successfully change the course of your life.

In this case, no one will ever be interested in the origin of your diploma - you will be assessed solely as a person and an employee.

Original taken from dubikvit in Along the waves of our memory! Drinks of our childhood

In this post we will talk about the soft drinks of our childhood. What we drank, where and how.


My childhood is strongly associated with two drinks - lemonade when I was older and apple-grape juice when I was very young.
Today we go to the supermarket, where before our eyes there are endless shelves with all kinds of juices, drinks - carbonated and still, iced teas and concentrates, cola and Sprite in cans, dozens of types of mineralized and table water. Maybe it’s the mid-80s, which I remember with such nostalgia.



Almost every Soviet family in the middle of summer began to prepare food “for the winter.” The epic of conservation traditionally began with preserves, jams, juices and compotes. In dachas, villages or city apartments, on Saturday-Sunday days and evenings, huge pots of syrups, compote were boiling, or freshly squeezed apple or plum juice was sterilized. Two and three liter jars of cherry, apricot, apple and pear compotes were hidden in pantries until winter. In winter, this will be a delicious drink, and fruit from a jar will be a favorite dessert at the family table. There was no particular alternative. In addition to your compote, it could be juice in the same three-liter jar from the grocery store, brewed Krasnodar tea, or a dried fruit compote brewed by the hostess. Uzvar in other words.

In grocery stores, “Juice and Water” stores, as well as “Vegetables and Fruits”, as a rule, you could always buy juices in three-liter jars - tomato, apple, plum, pear, apricot and, of course, birch.

But anyone could always have a glass of their favorite juice right in the store - remember there were such departments? There were either just open cans, or special inverted cones with a tap, into which juice was poured from the cans, and a large woman in a white robe and cap poured juice from there into your glass. And there was always a glass with salt and a teaspoon. This is for tomato juice.. And there was a line for various juices... Not long, but there was a line..

The alternative to juice on tap was, of course, soda. Street sales of soft drinks in the USSR have not changed for decades. Actually, there were 2 formats - manual and automatic. In the mid-70s, approximate parity was established between these two forms, and each had its own pros and cons.

It’s interesting that a glass of “clean” both from the seller and from the machine cost the same - one kopeck, but a glass of water with syrup from the seller was a whole penny more expensive - as much as four kopecks. True, they poured a little more syrup. In addition, for 7 kopecks you could drink a delicious drink with “double syrup”. Another advantage of the manual mode was the absence of problems with exchange and change.

The machine with gas water had its undoubted advantages.

The most important of them was the ability to use a round “stamping” of similar size and weight to a “three ruble” instead of a coin.

It was possible to deceive the machine by dropping a three-ruble note into the coin acceptor on a thread threaded through a hole specially drilled for this purpose.

In addition, if you hit the machine in a certain place, then sometimes the machine could “return” someone else’s coins, which was a great success...

However, this was not a one-sided game. Often the machine “ate” the money without giving out a drop of life-giving moisture in return.

Sometimes the machine would run out of syrup, and then for three kopecks he would sneakily pour in “clean” water.

In addition to juices on tap and vending machines, of course, everyone remembers barrels of kvass.

In the summer months, they stood in residential and working areas, under shops and grocery stores - yellow barrel trailers on large wheels. With the obligatory fat woman in a dirty robe.

She sat on a chair, pouring kvass from the end of the barrel. There was also a washing cartridge for glasses and glasses. And on the left side of the workspace there were certainly crumpled wet rubles and three rubles, which were used to pay for a drink. And a plate of change.

Kvass could be bought in a glass or half-liter glass with a handle. And of course, many came there with cans, thermoses or just three-liter jars. How many cans of kvass did I carry home on hot summer days...

In the school or work canteen you were offered either warm tea from a huge saucepan, or one of several types of juice, or dried fruit compote in the winter months. No bags or bottles of juice that are now familiar. A cup, often chipped, or more often just a glass

By the way, many Soviet housewives made their own unique drink - homemade kvass.

There were two main methods of preparation - using kvass yeast and black bread - using the same technology as natural kvass.

And the second is kvass from the so-called kombucha. When water was poured into the jar, a little sugar was added and weak tea leaves were constantly added (usually leftovers from the teapot - hello to tea bags), and crap in the form of a jellyfish floated on top, gradually increasing in size. The drink actually tasted somewhat like kvass. The mushroom that floated gradually grew, then part of it got off and was passed on to friends or relatives with the words - “this is such a gorgeous kvass..” The most important thing was not to forget to cover the jar with gauze, because if you don’t do this, thousands of unpleasant flies will immediately appear - fruit flies, which were apparently very attracted to the fermentation process.

And of course, I can’t help but write about the favorite drinks of children of that time - lemonade. By lemonade we meant any carbonated sweet drink in a bottle with a metal cap.

There were a lot of names. They were sold in light, light or dark green glass bottles. They had two labels - the main rectangular one at the bottom and a recumbent crescent-shaped label on the neck. And of course a metal stopper. Which could be opened either with a bottle opener or on any protruding metal part with a straight edge anywhere. The top handlebar nut on a bicycle was used very effectively for this purpose).

The coolest drink of course was Pepsi-Cola.

In large cities it was not something surprising, but residents of small towns, and especially villages, rarely saw it. I was always very happy when my father was going on a business trip to Kyiv or Moscow - after all, he always brought five or even more bottles of Pepsi-Cola from there. We opened one for everyone - 0.33 liter, poured it into cups and savored it... Saving the rest for tomorrow...

It was very cool to bring Pepsi-Cola with you to your grandmother in the village. It was real currency. You could exchange a cool, well-aimed slingshot for a bottle of Pepsi-Cola. Or a bamboo fishing rod with a feather float and a hardened hook. Or three bottles of regular lemonade from the general store. And half a kilogram of barberry sweets in the bargain.

A real breakthrough, a truly knockout blow to lemonade, was the appearance of the orange drink Fanta in 1980!

Perhaps, just for this reason it was worth holding the Olympics in Moscow. Finnish cervelat and salami in outlandish vacuum packaging, and most importantly - Fanta, were the most coveted Olympic awards for all residents and guests of the capital.

Of course, the fact that oranges have always been exotic in the USSR also played a role here. Not that there was a terrible shortage, from time to time you could buy delicious orange balls, but orange juice was not widespread, and neither were soft drinks based on orange juice. Therefore, the explosive orange taste of Fanta instantly made me forget about all the drinks that were previously considered quite tasty). Even the wonderful Pepsi-Cola had to give up Olympus to the magnificent Fanta!))

There were also Georgian lemonades. Aradu, Tbilisi, Bakhmaro, Isindi

Here we also need to remember the homemade lemonades that we made using household siphons and gas cans

It looked something like this: In order to get soda, you had to pour water into the siphon (preferably with syrup or jam) and screw a gas can into a special connector. When screwed in, the capsule of the can was pierced and gas was released from it into the siphon. And if you then press the lever, carbonated water “flies” out of the siphon under pressure.
At that time, siphon cans could be exchanged for an additional fee. You bring a set of used cans (10 pieces and always in a cardboard box), pay extra money and receive 10 refilled cans in a cardboard box. After which you can treat yourself to sparkling water 10 more times.

Why not remember milkshakes?

They were made either in cafes on powerful mixers

or at home using household mixers, although then the foam was much less

But still, carbonated drinks were more favorite - Lemonade, Citro, Cream Soda, Pinocchio, Sayany, Baikal, Tarragon and many others...
