April 1 — The Day of Price Reductions in Stalin's Time

The day we were asked to forget!

On this day, every year, under Iosif Vissarionovich Stalin, there was yet another price reduction for all basic types of food and industrial goods. The regular post-war Stalinist reduction of prices for products and industrial goods was carried out from 1947 to April 1, 1954.

And after Iosif Stalin passed away, the other government gradually curtailed the annual price drop, advertising April 1 as a Fool's day.
