NAMEDNI (rus) - the other day, lately
Motto: Events, people, phenomena. Without them it's impossible to envisage us, and it's even harder to understand us

I believe that this was the best TV show about culture and life during Soviet period of history. A must see for everyone who is interested in Russia.

The show focuses on main events of cultural, sport, political and everyday life from 1960 to 2003 (initially to 1991), Fashion, politics, jokes, main achievements in sport and technology, economics, favorite movies, views Russians had about other countries - it's all here. TV version in Russian is available online, but there's also a newer printed version with re-edited and expanded entries.

I'll post them here, I hope some of you will enjoy it. If someone can take part in translating the highlights of each article or sharing related stories it would be great. I know that I won't be able to translate it all, because I'm ..ahem... too lazy. )) The first one is translated, though.
