Absolutely not true about caviar. No one ate caviar with grapes! Black and red caviar was in big deficit and only eaten at big hidays. We used to spread it in very thin layer on buttered white bread and then serve that bread on the table in flat dish. We never served whole can or as much caviar as they shown here. It was always spreat on the bread with layer layer of butter first and then very thin layer of caviar, so thin that you literally count every single caviar

Horrible video, a lot of historical inaccuracies, blantant lies and just total bullcrap.
I'm disappointed that there's no visible downvotes on YT anymore because this video deserves a lot of them.
Also something to note - it's obvious that lector was not even trying with pronounciation. I'm pretty sure he just got script and made zero research about thing he read.
This video is genuinely worth only deleting.

I know from a person that had survived Leningrad blockade she did confirm that human meat was openly sold. Once she saw it she said I rather die from starvation than eating that. In late 1970 she immigrated to Sydney Australia, and passed a way there. Most of listed meals are extremely disgusting, however, Soviet Central Asian Region and Caucasus Region had pretty ok food. I mean Kabobs and central Asian rice dishes.

As someone who grew up on these foods I am surprised just how accurately you described them all in this video. Good job guys.
The only note - 'Herring in a fur' must have potatoes in it, (besides red beet, carrots, pickled herring and mayonnaise. The onions though are highly optional. In fact anything else is optional.

As a 6th grader in 1976-77, I recall learning about people standing in long lines for one cabbage in their string bags. I was horrified but I don't think it was all that bad.
Borscht was any vegetable stew. beets were not necessary.

You all are being overly sensitive. The narrator never referred to these foods as disgusting or undesirable - simply unconventional to those in the west who do not travel or do not have slavic heritage. Relax.

Clearly stated that it's just not that weird food for slavic people, I'd also like to add that allegedly hunger and famine got worse _after_ the changes brought by Gorbachov and Yeltsin. So.

Why you reference it as Unconventional? If something is not conventional for you may mean that it is you have an unconventional taste. everything is relative my frend, everything.

Calm down guys, the foods from the Great Depression have the same titles in videos, and a lot of it is still enjoyed today. Except the jello dishes.

I ate many of these foods as a child in Riga (Latvia) in my grand parents' home in the 1930s and would gladly eat them again now.

I guess it is because Americans don't actually eat food at all. Just sugar added to bits of random crap and chemicals.

During a 3 year old blockade of a million strong city they had some dead people in the food? Shocking.
