  Damn this shit hits hard. 80s in Romania I was a student, probably 4th grade. Photographer comes in with a cart full of toys, pencils, colored pencils, paints, etc. Puts them all down nicely on the table for the photographs, one by one, then takes them all and leave. Only time that year that we saw colored pencils. Just like your weapon joke, all an illusion of abundance, typical of Soviet mentality.
