In Soviet Union, people cut x-ray films into circles and used them to make vinyl records of popular Western music that wasn't available because of the iron curtain. Sound quality was atrocious, but that wasn't the point. I have several of such records in my vinyl collection, it was my grandma who was involved in this culture when she was young.

    This is *EXACTLY* the shit I am interested in when people talk about the Soviet Union. The weird nitty-gritty, daily life there, how people consumed contraband material, newspapers… just old media from that time is what truly fascinates me about that time in history. That and Chernobyl (those who are active in the dR Discord know that I love talking about Chernobyl!).

    Tell us about the self - made guns.
    I know there's a culture around that stuff and would love to know more about it.
    (ex. : pneumatic guns in metro 2033 are based on that concept).
    Also one Russian dude made a CNC out of wood....
    Like a 2 meters high CNC...

    Please read what this character has to say to the public on devrant.

    Don't you notice any odd?
    Any morbid thoughts, behaviours, opinions, vocabulary?

    If not. Please help yourself and enjoy.

    I won't elaborate my personal values, experiences and methods for a healthy life to oppose a bot / professionally driven account whose aim is to disturb the free world and its citizens with planted morbidity.
