A well-known blogger spoke about the Detsky Mir store, which was built during Soviet times, and about the life happening inside the premises.
Detsky Mir was opened in 1957 in the center of Moscow and for many years was the largest children's store in the USSR. Children's World had it all. Of course, compared to today's stores, the assortment of the Soviet children's department store looks very meager, but in those years one could not dream of anything better. Recently I was given a large archive of historical photographs. Today I offer you an excursion into the world of Soviet trade, the Children's World, in which almost everything was.
A building familiar to everyone. Trees still grew here then.
Central hall. In the 90s, the famous carousel appeared here, which now stands in the Mega "Belaya Dacha"
Showcases
School uniform.
Prom costumes. Nothing wrong, by the way.
Everything for the tourist.
Soviet Lego. I had such constructors on screws, it was impossible to assemble anything useful.
By the way, there used to be very cool baby strollers. It's strange that no one is designing them now.
Unsafe tools were also sold to children. This wouldn't happen now.
Soviet vending machine. Who caught this?
A strange kiosk without a salesperson. How did it work?
It’s strange that in all the photographs the children are so sad.
Shortage and queues of the 90s
Sequence number of the queue on the hand
If you recognize your toys or products in the photographs, write comments, I will add a description to the photographs.
