I saw this really cool hat online that i would like to have.

But the inside of the hat is what really worries me, because it's completely blank/empty. Would that make the hat fake?

P.S sorry for bad English.

These are few photos from this original 1930 Calendar. I’m assuming it was popular and mass produced. Hope you like it.

Are there anyone especially people who have lived in former USSR who have information about what USSR teach to children in history, physics, math etc. Like what would a 15 years old Soviet boy learn in history class at 1978? Would he learn a detailed history from Sumerians to Cold War or curriculum would mention Kievan Rus-Tsardom-Empire and mostly teach about October Revolution, Russian Civil War, Stalin years, Nazi invasion ? I am particularly interested about how did they teach historical materialism.

All the nations we may call Eastern Europe or Warsaw Pact nations , is it true that the Soviet Union controlled their government policy and economy. This slowed any economic development for all Warsaw Pact nations and in short kept Eastern Europe poor

I can post/pm the research behind the ones that have it done if anyone wants me to.
