In the USSR, the expression "for a rainy day" was taken literally. Even when everything was fine at home, closets, pantries, and attics were filled with things that were rarely touched unless absolutely necessary: soap, matches, candles, fabric, medicine, grains, light bulbs, tools, and much more.
This video features 25 things that were always saved for a rainy day in the USSR. We'll explore what stockpiles ordinary families kept, why some things were bought in bulk at the first opportunity, and what could lie untouched for years "just in case."
Today, some of these stockpiles seem unnecessary, but during times of shortages, they could be a lifesaver when a needed item suddenly disappeared from the store, appliances broke, or the family had to drastically economize.
