The collapse of the Soviet Union, has become for many of our compatriots something akin to the end of the world.

1. Advertising on television and the store on the couch
Back in the 1980s, advertising on Soviet television virtually absent. All this changed with the beginning of a new capitalist era. Funny, naive, trite and frankly bizarre advertising a variety of goods captivated television. It comes to the fore the promotion of products that are actually useless for the majority of his compatriots.
Separate striking phenomenon of the "dashing 90" became the so-called "shops on the couch." Pretentious, boring advertising campaigns on TV, trying to sell frank trash and consumer goods, giving his things without which "certainly" can not do on the farm.
