I found a 1992 newspaper, read it and was amazed at how honest and naive people were. They could not know that they would be deceived with vouchers

Recently I was sorting out old trash deposits in the garden. There I came across an old local newspaper which is already 28 years old. Much that I read in it was a discovery for me. What did the common people live in the outback, in those years? We'll find out now. If anything, I was ten years old at the time the newspaper was published.

Newspaper from 20 and 21 November 1992 was published with a circulation of 30,000 copies. Which is quite a lot for a city of 120 thousand. population.

Scroll through the gallery, there will be photos. And it is also desirable to view the article from a computer in order to enlarge the text and plunge into the 90s.

Interesting Facts

1) In those years, the newspaper already noticed that individual construction had increased. And now, many have a private house, that's the year from which the construction boom began.

2) The privatization of state property begins, the transition to speculators.

3)Privatization, voucher, privatization checks, Chubais.

All these words have so powdered the brain of ordinary people who have no idea about securities. Many did not know what to do with vouchers, a piece of property from the state. People just received them, and after a while they will be deceived through investment funds. By the way, my parents put five checks into the "First Voucher Fund". And the FSE was blown away. By the way, increase the text and read two very interesting articles written.

A it was necessary to invest directly, that is, to get hold of shares in local energy companies. Like here:

They were later sold profitably. At least the people had something from these vouchers.

4) The question of selling state land into private hands was brewing, some were afraid that all land "would pass into the hands of the mafia." This is partly what happened.

5) A letter to the editor, a cry from the heart. The fact that prices are jumping, it is not possible to buy anything. The books are expensive.

And now everything is on store shelves, but there is no money, or almost no.

6) Announcements, it's interesting to see what's changing. Now such exchanges, which were offered earlier, cannot be called equivalent.

7) Miscellanea. Strange, but there are not many buy-and-sell ads. At that time, we mainly traded in the markets. I remember. Another interesting fact. some in the ad write that the prices are lower than the state. Was the government still trying to control prices at the time?

I still have old newspapers, if you like the format write about it in the comments.

I hope this article has inspired nostalgia for the past and deserves a like!
