Don't forget the end-of-the-period rush to fulfill the Plan! Soviet citizens would always check the date a good was produced before purchasing it. If done on a Monday or after a holiday, don't buy it (likely made by a worker with a hangover). Ditto if it was made on the eve of the end of a production plan, as that means likely rushed and shoddy work.

Lyubo, bratsy, lyubo, lyubo, bratsy, zhit!
