That's curiously right to an extent, you know. Bread had been a symbolic thing for communists from very early days. It's price was heavily subsidised and it was one of the very few food items I actually never remember there being a shortage of. Might have been different in other parts, though. Quite in contrary: bought the cheap bread to feed their animals. One of the many curious perversions of the Soviet economy.

Dude, I lived there, and at the time described it was my responsibility to buy bread and other food staples for our family.
