Stay Protected: Soviet Way
It was a well known saying in Russia “that there is no leisure intercourse in Soviet Russia”, probably it is less known for the rest of the world. It meant that Soviet citizens have made this only for get some kids. But recently it has been known that there was a whole bunch of those little thingies available for some sale in Russia, though they couldn’t be bought freely, just because demand was so great that if it appeared anywhere on the counters of the state-owned pharmacies (there were no any other in Soviet Russia), then the first who entered the store has usually bought gross all them available and then lived a long happy life or made many many Soviet rubles reselling them for his friends. So it was big luck to get them and it is even more bigger luck to see them here on photos, in this, not-used state.
And one more thing. Officially they were called “product no. 2″, because the product no. 1 was a rubber gas-mask of the same factory…

First. My life’s ambitions realised!
Sometimes, I don’t think I’m old enough to read English Russia..

second!
Second, my second ambition
Third…you can guess the rest..all now I could wish for is to save up enough money to get a passport and then move to Russia.
But, but… isn’t Russia already full of Rednecks?
Oho!
Thats Clever!
I get it!
Rednecks as in uneducated bumpkins because the downfall of Ussr went along with downfall of state education AND because theyre RED-necks as in commies!
THAT’s ShARP!
The other version of the legend says that “product #1″ was rubber galoshes. BTW, I’ve heard that those condoms were heavy enough to be washed and reused.
Old joke: how do you reuse a condom? you just shake the fuck out of it…
I was going to ask if they reused them– seems logical, albeit unsafe and unsanitary, but some Soviet products were sturdy enough to last (Lomo camera still sought after in the west, for example, and Russian-made vacuum tubes also), so I wondered if they made these “product no. 2″ strong enough to be reused.
It is big luck to see them in not used state.
So did these come lubed and ribbed? Was the latex really thick? What was the quality of a Soviet condom?
Lubed and ribbed? You’re fucking kidding me, right? I just started needing those things just as they were on the way out (late 80s)… plain heavy duty latex, powdered with talcum. Despite heavy latex they’d break quite often, which was probably a government conspiracy anyways…
Did your Jimmy get stuck in the mud back there?
Please keep yer fag jokes to yerself, commie punk.
Thank you.
No. Thank YOU. I enjoyed the discussion and I accept your surrender.
Tough to accept somethingthat hasn’t been offered, but… what-fucking-ever.
Just consider it understood as part of the social contract.
Sure. Given that there is no such thing as “social contract”, wouldn’t be too tough to do.
It will be there when you retire.
Er, no. Social Security is going to go bankrupt right in time for my retirement. Doesn’t worry me any, though, I am building equity elsewhere.
I second that cynical. I have already proved that this guy isn’t from Kansas. He’s probably never even been in North America.
Why do you say that?
LOL
Sorry, how exactly have you proved that?
All he has proven is that he is the “LittlePutinPenis” character. Referrence; Comment by LittlePutinPenis
2007-09-06 07:55:31 and following exchange in “Old Soviet TV Sets”. Someone has been busted alright.
Ha! I could name at least a dozen of usernames that Taxas1 have been and still is using. But wont + I don’t really want to spoil my amusement
Hard to believe I know, but Texas1 is the genius who keeps this site going. He is not the Admin, but the Admin certainly is not preventing him form doing what he is doing. Any why should they? Coments on the posts whouldn’t be a third of those they are now if it wasn’t for Texas1. So give the guy a a break, he is just doing his job
You may be right Boris, but by the same token, if he is going to dish it out, he should be able to take it as well.
I agree with you man.
Hello schizopod.
Well, judging by the amount of abortions - not that great
Quality was OK to serve the purpose. The latex was rather thick, was not always uniform in thickness and had a strong smell of (surprise!) rubber. At least some of them were lubricated. No ribs, colors, etc… (that would be bourgeois perversion against the morale of the Working People). Though people did not use them very often - “Real Men” did not think they need them.
but wouldn’t a condom prevent you from having kids??
working three jobs works to prevent kids, too…
Maybe you really shouldn’t have kids at the stage of your life when you have to work three jobs?
Soviet condoms was part of plane to collapse USSR
Photoshop. IGOR IS A BALDY FAG!
FAKEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yep. Photoshop.
What is that packaging material? Is that just dry paper?
No, there is a layer of plastic on the inside of that paper.
I don’t remember condoms being such big deficit. As a kid i remember them being displayed in pharmacy under the glass at all times.
Because you’re from the European part of Russia. The Siberian part had a much worse deficit problem.
One of the traits of Russian personality, as perceived by many other nations, is an elevated level of aggressiveness. Some say that it is tradition - that, for example, in their villages Russians for centuries have had so called “fist fights”, when groups of men fought each other. This did not prevent them from being friends again the other day. This is widely regarded as barbarism by Russian neighbors, while to Russians themselves it is part of their way of life and cultural heritage and is even not unusual part of a wedding.
Can I just say if I were Russian, I would be pretty pissed by you sick racist comments. You seem to use any excuse to degrade or insult Russian people and their culture. I really can’t understand how so much racial hate could accumulate in your little Nazi head. Why do you hate ethnic minorities so much? What is the reason for all this needless hate? Please, tell us. We really want to know!
“Inconvenient truth”, eh?
Why don’t you go and kill yourself against the wall or do something else useful?
“Nazi head” my ass!! Go f#ck yourself!
Some ethnic minority - circa 140 million people!
What a cynical remark.
meaning …?
Meaning just what you think it means.
I think you are trying to talk about things you do not understand. Thank you for your confirmation!
I understand what you are about.
Wow, that was deep
Is that what you do with minorities in new “independent” Estonia, kill them against the wall?
1) Wow indeed! Liked it?
2) I am not from Estonia
3) As much as I know Estonia is doing perfectly well thankyou
4) Why sarcasm about “indpendent”? Because it does not depend on Russia anymore and that is real pain in the ass for you?
Why can’t you do something good for others! Why should you be so egocentric, Boris! Even simple runing into the wall is too much to ask for you! Shame!
“Why sarcasm about “indpendent”? Because it does not depend on Russia anymore…?”
U.S. interferance is more likely.

Part of a wedding? Ha!!! What a bunch of dumb asses.
Well, informally… It kinda is not official part but it somehow happens almost every time. Should do something with excessive use of alcohol and simple manners.
There is even a Russian folk saying “A wedding without a fist fight is not a wedding” (Свадьба без драки - не свадьба)
There is even a Russian folk saying “A wedding without a fist fight is not a wedding at all!” (Свадьба без драки - не свадьба).
Ha ha ha!! That guy just does’t give up, does he?
I mean, have you got a propaganda deadline that you need to complete for your nazi employers by the end of each working day? Do you get a commission with each racist comment you post? You must do 
- I have never seen such devotion to humiliate another nation or race like you have displayed in your past comments. I really havn’t.
On a positive note, - that commission must really be something, hey?
Hello Boris, my rabid russophile pinky friend! How do you do?
Как Ваше ничего?
Would you like to go and kill yourself against the wall along with Justin?
Or would you prefer to join me at CIA in our eternal Nazi struggle against Mother Russia and all the rest of the Progressive Mankind? The commission is really good, I assure you, so think about it!
hei nigger_kike :: ochnis’; some Slavic people lack the tendency to fist fight & they express the “obviously genetic violent rage” with the use of SVD’s (not soviet venereal disease) so be careful or a big angry village fist fighter will shoot your liver out & it is painful to live the next 3 minutes;
ok im _sorry_; i didnt mean in; peace;
That’s alright, no one understood it.
lol +5
it’s OK. no crime to get drunk sometimes.
What is an SVD?
it’s a Sniping Rifle

Oh George! I have been waiting for this moment ever since I came to your ranch.
Чего зубоскалите-то? Нормальные презервативы. Крепкие и надёжные.
What is a zuboskalite?
to “tell jokes”, “laugh at”, “cackle”. from: zuby - teeth. skalitsya - to grin OR oskal - grin, bared teeth.
Зубоскалите… Ну это примерно как “кусаетесь”, “ругаетесь”, в таком духе. А интересно, эти гандоны прозрачные хоть али черные или коричневые?:)
“гандоны” - это правда теперь русское слово?
Это не “теперь”, а как минимум последние 20 лет. Жаргон. Изкаженная версия от слова “кондом”.
Shame on you, even kids know that!
Давно за бугром, я смотрю.
Да лох он !
So, whatsit called - Little Red Riding Hood?
LOL! Second to last one has special feature:
RESERVOIR!
Когда в мед. колледже учился, нам гинеколог Нина Дмитриевна рассказывала, как эти презирвативы проверяли.. это сейчас электроника, а тогда…. сидели молодые красавицы, перед которыми на столе были вмонтированны деревянные фалоимитаторы, ну или проще просто деревянные палки, и вот эти девушки натягивали только что выпущенные презервативы на эти палки, и смотрели нет ли дырок и т.д. Мы все конечно очень смеялись….
[...] Next we’ve got some photos of Soviet-era condoms… [...]
This is strage, because in the west, people think that control of the birth of population is an issue associated with the political left…
The condoms in soviet union was like a secret weapon.
фотошоп или нет,я всеравно долго ржал)))
It will be there. We will make sure of it.
Who do you mean by “we”, kemosabe?
I mean we the people. You included.
Eat the rich. They taste like pork!
No, thanks. I’ll pass on being included with people - 99% of which is a waste of biomass anyways.
Is it that you want to be alone, or just want it all for yourself?
Well, in case you wonder, my life would have been a lot better if I didn’t have to share the planet with idiots, communists, religious freaks (there is a substantial overlap between those categories, mind you) and other assorted scum. But, since it is illegal to kill them, well, I’ll just have to make do…
It sounds like life has not been easy for you. Are things getting better or worse?
You sound like A.L.I.C.E.
You sound like A.L.I.C.E.
Yes orknexus, you are a very perceptive human. I shall look forward to many stimulating discusions with you. Is the repetion of your comment inteded to be humorous?
