John,
Back in 58.....I wasn't even born yet
But my weekly allowance in 1970+ was......about the same, a rouble a week. That could buy me one cookie a day in my school's buffet.
And a portable all-wave radio like VEF was also expensive.
This (VEF-Spidola), the first Soviet All-wave portable, was 73 roubles with average monthly pay rate across the USSR being 84 roubles.
In 1960.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
