Today, nostalgia for the Soviet Union has reached its peak, in General, this is understandable, everyone wants to live in a society of social justice. Everyone wants guarantees for at least the minimum necessary living conditions for a person, work, education, medicine, and recreation. Three decades later, the problems and shortcomings of the Soviet era seem insignificant, I remember only the good-stability, practically free housing, strictly set by the state prices for food and much, much more, which gave rise to the very confidence in the future, over which you can irony as much as you like – but it was. However, it was the party elites of the CPSU who chose the course that eventually became disastrous for the entire country.
The choice of such a course gradually began to affect all spheres of life. However, some branches of the national economy had such a margin of safety that it lasted for a long time, and therefore the destruction was not immediately noticeable. In other industries, degradation went quickly, which became a "byword", widely discussed in kitchens and in dissident circles.
Let's look at just one of the important aspects – wages. The idea of who earned how much makes it possible to judge not only the welfare of people, but also the priorities of the state – who it singled out in the first place, who gave the greatest benefits and social privileges.
Probably, many still remember the phrase: "As a simple Soviet engineer". What did it mean? And why is it a simple engineer? After all, this is a rather difficult specialty. In tsarist Russia, engineers were respected and highly paid people. On the doors of their houses and apartments were gilded or copper plaques-engineer so-and-so. The demand for this specialty was huge, and a good engineer was valued at its weight in gold. The designs and mechanisms presented by Russian engineering thought at world exhibitions have repeatedly received gold medals.
The same situation persisted in the time of Stalin.
In contrast, in the late Soviet Union, the number of specialists with higher technical education was off the scale. As a result, the profession was devalued. The average engineer's salary (110-130 rubles per month) was lower than that of a skilled worker. This is despite the fact that the attitude to working professions has also changed radically. The current middle generation still remembers the intimidation of teachers and parents: if you do not study well, you will go to "Bursa". So derogatory in that time was called vocational schools, vocational schools, and graduates of these schools, the common people called PTU-schnick,
considered almost second-class people. This, they say, is the one who allegedly "did not come out of his mind", so he is forced to work with his hands. Yes, and the very attitude to physical labor has acquired a contemptuous note: "Go to the factory, you will spend your life "humping"!
So what does it turn out to be? The country of the Soviets was often called the country of the victorious proletariat. But the attitude to the working professions, to those who produced most of the necessary material goods, was, to put it mildly, strange. Everyone who could, wanted to get a higher education. We will talk more about what this led to. In the meantime, let's remember another respected profession.
Remember, in the famous film "With a light steam", which is still often shown before the new year holidays, the main characters talked about their professions – a doctor and a teacher. That these are the most important and necessary specialties. "Judging by the salary, not very much" - this phrase, alas, stated the real state of Affairs.
But that wasn't always the case, either. Until 1953, these were not only respected, but also quite highly paid professions. Their prestige was constantly rising. This was facilitated by the media, fiction, and films. The film "the First teacher" was watched by millions. After him, thousands of young men and women chose this noble profession as their way of life.
But already in the late USSR, pedagogical universities were mainly attended by those who did not pass the scores in the other, more prestigious Ones. And only a few went there by vocation.
Of course, there were good teachers at all times.
But if the generation that won the great Patriotic war is rightly said to have been raised by a Soviet schoolteacher, what can we say about those who taught the next generation? Generations that allowed a huge country to collapse…
