10 things of Soviet times, the purpose of which now not everyone will guess

It would seem that the Soviet era ended not so long ago and many still remember that time, with nostalgia indulge in thoughts of the past. And some still have household items and equipment that are widespread in the USSR. Previously, Soviet inventions greatly discouraged foreigners, but now they are also seriously thinking about modern youth: why were all these things needed, what was their purpose. We will now show you a selection of some of these items. It is worth noting, not knowing what it really is, to guess what these things are used for, it will really be extremely difficult.

Soviet pedometer

It is difficult to believe, but such a device existed in the Soviet Union and was actively used by residents.

Perfume Atomizer

Perfume bottles were made of beautiful glass, but all their beauty was spoiled by an orange rubber bulb, which was used to spray aromatic liquid.

Desk calendar

The device was distinguished by functionality and unusualness. So, looking at the round dial in a square plastic “frame”, you could find out not only the number and day of the week, but also the air temperature.

Microphone

The microphone was a very modest device, more like a travel hairdryer.

Lamp

Similar lamps could be found in almost every Soviet family, and now it is a mysterious rectangle with holes and a wire.

Electric shaver

Well, time has really changed this device beyond recognition.

The device for raising loops on stockings

These are the stockings on which the clue appeared, we immediately throw them away, and the Soviet fashionistas could not afford to show off like that, because this wardrobe item was in short supply. Therefore, knitted stockings were repaired using a similar machine.

Blade sharpener

The razor blade was installed inside the box, with the help of a cord a rotating mechanism was set in motion, due to which the blade began to move along the protruding bases and was sharpened.
