Heh! Do not take ads for reality! I come from behind the former Iron
Curtain and let me tell you, the commies were pretty good at distorting reality
when they presented it. Plus, the 60s were good years almost everywhere in the
world, in particular in the communist countries. But yes, you're right: for
somebody who has not lived there, it's not easy to guess the reality carefully
hidden under thick layers of propaganda. (Just to get an idea: we were
constantly told on TV that the corrupted West is on the virge of collapse and
that more and more westernes leave their countries to seek refuge in our
communist countries... Hilarious, yes, I know...)

of course.
