Soviet Food Posters
Every Soviet citizen should eat only healthy and high-quality food. So there was no place for a famine in the USSR, at least on these posters.

Excellent.
Mmmmmmmmmmm grechka.. tolokno.. chernaya ikra, kak ya po etomu soskuchilsya
they sell gretchka in other countries… look for “buckwheat” in a specialty store, or something like trader joes or whole foods
Yes they see grechka in UK alos. But but mostly in the pet stores, as it’s considered to be Bird Food
Oh fuck..
The 3rd from the bottom is just what I need now.
It looks shitty even on pictures. But in reality it looked even worse.
многое увидел в первый раз.не хватает соломки и чая со слоном.
Такие картинки есть в кулинарной книге “О вкусной и здоровой пище”)
I am first. The Supreme Court said so.
The food sucks.
All these pics are taken from “Book on tasty and healthy food”
Picture 2: green wads in red sauce, mm-mm good! The picture of the corn wrapped in cellophane looks very much like something Americans would have done in the 1950s. The presumption is that anything nature can do, man can do better. Corn, in this case, comes wrapped pefectly nicely in its own natural package, but the bias toward technology forced someone to unwrap it, and then wrap it up again in plastic.
See this site for American comparison: http://www.lileks.com/institute/gallery/index.html
That caviar looks absolutely delicious! Everytime I go to Russia, I bring at least 10 jars back. Certainly beats paying £50 for 100g in London
But be warned, not all caviar is genuine in russia, so try before you buy - and try a lot
Almost all caviar from Russia is fake due to overfishing. I guess they’ll never understand (until they won’t have any more sturgeon).
Yes, selling fake caviar is a rather common practice in Russia. However, I can always tell whether the caviar is genuine by the way it looks and smells. Also, even if I buy it enclosed in the shop, before taking it home, I open the jar and see if its to the quality I desire. If not, I just take it back and noramlly no one seems to give me any trouble.
With regards to overfishing, it is an absolute tragedy! Black see has lost almost all of its fish reserves. Its was even evident when I went diving on the Crimea’s south coast. Much of the fish I saw ten years ago, simply weren’t there anymore. So yes, something must be done. And done now, if its not already too late.
It looks more mediteranian then russian.
Such pictures were in soviet culinary books.
I’m almost certain these posters came from Moscow, where there was plenty of food to eat and no deficit.
this food is photoshopped
that is some of the crappiest food ever. Russian food is pretty much simply disgusting by nature.
Most of this food looks like it has been eaten and digested. After that they took the picture.
I remember canned fish called Sayra. That was good.
Mostly vse viglidit’ ochen vkusninka! Ya ochen’ hochu eti pelmenchiki c smetankai!! Yummy ^_^
These are not the posters, it is from a book about food. I have this book.
It’s funny, cos’ without Photoshop, they had to take photographs and apply some color paint on it to make pictures look better
“Ovsianaja kasha “Gerkules”" was really good as far as i remember.
Russian food always better tasting when served in Russian-American restaurant in West Hollywood.
Okay take it easy!

Number 7 makes my penis hurt.
My stomach shrinks with disgust every time i see these. I still don’t understand why we had to eat such crap at all.
Hot damn! Is that a rhubarb martini in #5? And to think I only used it for cakes and pies…
Responding normally isn’t my thing, but i’ve spent an hour on the web log, so thanks for the fantastic info .
