How A Russian’s Grocery Store Trip In
1989 Exposed The Lie Of Socialism

Original Article

The fall of the Soviet Union is sometimes remembered as Nov. 9, 1989, the day the Berlin Wall symbolically collapsed.(Snip)The fall of the barrier that scarred Germany was indeed a watershed in the collapse of the Soviet Empire, yet one could argue the true death knell came two months before at a small grocery store in Clear Lake, Texas.(Snip)On Sept. 16, 1989, Boris Yeltsin was a newly elected member of the Soviet Parliament visiting the United States. Following a scheduled visit to Johnson Space Center, Yeltsin and a small entourage made an unscheduled stop at a Randalls grocery store in Clear Lake, a suburb of Houston.

Comments:

This is an interesting and eye-opening view of how a prominent Russian politician experienced America’s greatness in a grocery store. And admitted to being impressed with the bounty he saw as opposed to the breadlines at home. Well worth a read, especially when Dem progressives and Bernie Castro are running for the presidency.

A co-worker finally bought his grandmother here from Cuba. She nearly passed out after he took her to Pathmark and she couldn't believe how much food she saw.

The Randall’s he visited, and in Clear Lake City, was best in class supermarket chain in Houston area for the time, not a mom&pop.

A Czech friend came here for the first time a couple of years after the Soviet Union fell on a visiting professor stint. I took her to get groceries and she stood in the soup aisle and started to cry. She said she had to leave. She was so overwhelmed that she was paralyzed. That was eye opening. Every little potty mouthed spoiled Bernie supporter should be assigned To host someone from a Soviet wasteland for a week. It could change their lives if they’re not completely brainwashed.

I took a friend recently arrived from Cuba to a Super WalMart because she needed a bicycle lock. I couldn't get her out of the store she was so amazed. Someone gave her a promotional apple corer. You would have thought he gave her a watch, she was so impressed. She couldn't believe there was an entire aisle of potato chips. I'm not kidding: it took over an hour to get her out of the store.

But Bernie promises us that we will love the lack of choice! Who needs more than two different pair of shoe options, he asks. Why should there be so many different deodorants when a men's and a women's are enough, he opines. Bernie sees Soviet era markets as a model. Kobe beef/lobster/champaign for him but meat substitute/chicken and tap water for the rest of us.

Absolutely agree with #4, 100%. Grocery shopping is kind of a hobby for me; I like going every day because I'm never certain what I want for dinner. Vons, Trader Joe's, Jensens, Ralph's... My dad was like this. He loved shopping; I swear he would drive from Palm Springs to Indio to save five cents on a can of pork and beans.

Yes, let's talk availability. Was thinking of moving from L.A. to the South and was worried they wouldn't have my "stuff." Not exactly -- Trader Joe's, Costco with self-checkout, Panda Express, Chipotle, etc. However, I couldn't find an H Mart or a Peet's. But they'll come -- it's America.

Boy, the campaign ads write themselves. Show Fidel Sanders talking about how great bread lines are and show this video of a 'supermarket' in Russia. Show Jonathan Gruber, the architect of free Obama care, telling an audience how Americans are so stupid they lied to get it passed and then have a voiceover saying...fool us once shame on you, fool us twice, shame on us.

Excellent piece. Having done business, traveled and worked in Russian and several other former soviet states, I can attest to this, although things were massively improving by the early 2000s when I started going over. I did talk to people who told stories about lines....for ANYTHING. They said that if you were walking down the street and saw a line, you got into it, immediately, without hesitation or question, without any idea of WHAT they might be waiting to purchase. It would be some real thing, and even if it was shoes, and you couldn't find your size, you could buy some and trade them for something else, better than the worthless money. I had access to several million US dollars worth of old soviet currency, worthless when I saw it, but it has been a millionaire's cache before he escaped to the USA. It looked a LOT like Monopoly money, same small size and bright colors, shoddy printing. Read Thomas Sowell's "Basic Economics" for excellent comparisons of US and Soviet economic systems with actual facts obtained after the fall. And as to Samuelson.....he seems to be another fool like Krugman. I studied macroeconomics in college and was extremely dismayed at the foolish nonsense that Samuelson was writing in the textbook. When I found a tiny sidebar on some guy named Milton Friedman, he made real sense. Keynes and Samuelson, "giants in economics" were totally full of beans.

I am blown away that Boris Yeltsin could've been blown away by the plenty he found in America! I had no idea that he was that much of an intellectual. Bully for him. He has been resting in peace since 2007.

We had a Ukrainian family come and visit us for three weeks and showed them a lot of the USA. This was in the 2014 time frame, so things has massively improved in Ukraine in the 25 years since this story was written, but still they were impressed with shopping for food. The wife taught my wife to make a very good borcht, basically a vegatable soup, heavy on the beets. Excellent stuff, and she taught us the way her mother taught her. My wife made a batch for some Russian scientists visiting a couple of years later, and they pronounced it as "very good borscht", which tickled my wife a lot.

#11, never heard of either H Mart or Peets....somehow we managed to live all these years without the "superiority" of all things LA. LA and NYC are not the centers of the universe, and there are fine foods available pretty much everywhere in a medium sized city in this country. Just different names.

If anyone ever doubts the claim that communism is slavery then just point to the Berlin wall. Nothing has ever been built like it in history. Lots of walls at borders have been built but they were to keep invaders out. The only other walls to keep people in have been the walls of prisons. East Berlin was a prison.

My mother in law worked at the School of Aerospace Medicine at Brooks AFB, Tx. She was a translator, 7 languages...She sponsored people from many countries to get visa's and come the USA. I went with her to the airport to pick up a Russian family...on the way to their apartment (which my mother in law secured for them), we stopped at a grocery store to get food for the family. We saw the same reaction from them that Mr. Yeltsin had. They were amazed at what they saw. The father spoke fairly good english and asked me if this was a 'party store', I knew what he meant and told him America doesn't have 'party' stores or anything like that. He didn't believe me at first so we stopped at 3 more stores on the way to their apartment...they could not believe what they were seeing. Bottom line with this story is simple. If you want Socialism, go somewhere where it is practiced and live there for a minimum of 1 year...you will notice immediately it is a horrible type of system...why a year?...My way of punishing you for being so STUPID! Get over yourselves and become REAL Americans and stop it with the totally insane thinking that would ruin a great country!

Thanks for posting. Great read. I think what changed US to an ungrateful nation was stopping the draft. Before, our young people traveled the world and saw poverty and lack that most young people today have never imagined. Americans who were alive during the great depression never got over being hungry and stocked up on food.

Soviet citizens during the Cold War had things very hard, and yet, they believed that things in the USA were even harsher, poorer. The ones that came over were always shocked. In 1976, Soviet fighter pilot Victor Belenko of Russia defected with his MiG-25, then very little known in the west, and very secret, landing in northern Japan. Belenko was driven by hatred for the Soviet system which had polluted much of his beloved boyhood home region, and a desire to harm the government as payback. He totally believed that the USA was a horrible place, bought all their propaganda, thought he would have a horrible life, felt it would be a sacrifice to hurt The Party. After extensive debriefing, covering several years, by the CIA, he asked for "a big car" and to be able to 'go where I want'. He was released, and, still believing that ALL that he had seen so far was faked for his benefit by the CIA, he decided to "break through" to see the REAL USA. He would get in the car in the middle of the night and drive randomly in some general direction, stopping only for gas and food, until he was exhausted. Then he would find the nearest hospital and ask for a tour, or go to a supermarket and check it out, stop at a restaurant. SOMEHOW he could NOT get ahead of the CIA teams moving out just ahead of him and planting these special hospitals and supermarkets. It couldn't be actually like this. He was 100% certain that it was all fake, and vowed each time, to drive more randomly and farther, planning nothing, to "get ahead of them". After a few months of this, he was beginning to lose his mind, because he could not let go of the lifelong Soviet propaganda, and could not square those "facts" with what his eyes saw. He couldn't "break thru"..... "how were the CIA staying one step ahead of him?" He eventually befriended a small town waitress and she was finally able to convince him that this WAS the normal, real USA, and the CIA had done nothing at all. In fact, the CIA had lost contact with him entirely. After an adjustment period, he finally settled down and understood that this was all real, and all normal. He eventually got US citizenship, married and had two kids here. AFAIK, he is still alive, and periodically I read some writeup where he warns US politicians to never trust the Russians in anything. His book MiG Pilot: The Final Escape of Lieutenant Belenko is a good read.

Thanks for giving permission to post this old article. I wish I could give the post, itself, a hundred thumbs up. Especially given the Democrats' love affair with Socialism. Recognizing that every human system of government has its trade-offs, the best among all very imperfect systems appears to be the representative Republic with lightly-regulated Capitalist economy that was planted here by our Founding Fathers in the late 1700s.

Arizona and Montana are taking legal action (pdf) to block new Biden administration immigration regulations, saying that these would cause negative consequences for the states. The new rules would limit the capability of ICE to detain some illegal immigrants unless they pose a threat to national security, entered through the border after Nov. 1, or committed aggravated felonies. The Biden administration says that the rules don’t impair arresting or deporting people, but the officers in the field would need to request permission from their superiors to arrest people outside of the aforementioned cases.“If asked about the poorest policy choice I’ve ever seen in government, this would be a strong contender,”

As Joe Biden constructs his new administration, individuals from the Obama administration are quietly resurfacing in positions of power. Some of these people are well known, others lesser so. But they all played critical roles at various times during the Obama administration. Susan Rice, Obama’s national security adviser and now the “top adviser to the president on domestic policy and related decisions,” has admitted to participating in the unmasking of members of the Trump transition team. Unmasking is the process whereby a U.S. citizen’s identity is revealed from collected surveillance. Initially, Rice publicly denied the allegations, claiming that “I know nothing about this.

Nancy Pelosi’s top priority is to turn America into a one-party nation ruled by Democrats. Her bill HR 1 trashes the U.S. Constitution in an attempt to rig the system and make it virtually impossible to elect a Republican president or Congress again. It’s a power grab. The bill eviscerates state voting laws and forces all the states to conform to a set of rules that includes automatic voter registration. Anyone who goes to a DMV or applies for food stamps, Medicaid or other social services, or attends a public college will be automatically enrolled to vote. Noncitizens are obligated to identify themselves and opt out,

I’m probably second to none in my dislike for Meghan Markle. There’s something unattractive about a mature woman marrying into the British Royal family with one of the world’s most expensive weddings, hanging out with the Queen, living in insane luxury…and then whining non-stop about the horror of her life. There’s something even less appealing when that woman accuses the Royal family of race hatred. And the problem is that, when it comes to that left-wing diva, Meghan Markle, it’s hard to believe most of what she says. After weeks of hype, CBS finally televised Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s interview with Oprah.
