I once showed my lib sister pictures of my Polish ex's grandpa taking his family on a trip to a lake where they were all swimming and having picnics and shit.

She's insisted it must be fake because the concept of someone going on a nice lake trip in the USSR was inconceivable.

The entire USSR in the liberal mind as it's always pictured in all Western media: one continuous tract of depressing brutalist apartment blocks in the middle of a snowstorm, and also Siberia and bears, and barbed wire everywhere.
