LCR, and Nemukhin and Rukhin could see the fountain? No information about it?

I do not know, Volodya.
I remember Nemukhin very little that looked as Zhenya Rukhin was very knowledgeable in modern art, but whether he had seen the fountain?

[Сергеич]

And the Internet did not exist. While in the Soviet Union, where they could watch something?

[LCR]

The main sources of information were Library for Foreign Literature and chernoknizhny market in the Moscow Art Theater, and in principle one could find almost everything.

and chernoknizhny market in the Moscow Art Theater, and in principle one could find almost everything.

That is, you could buy a catalog of some unknown "foreign" artist? And our money on it were?
About the catalogs do not know the young was not interested, but the plate bands cost 10-20 rubles. For those who do not know the average salary of 120 rubles. I'm talking about the eighties.

[LCR]

No, it was expensive to buy. But all looked)))
In the 70 small books Hazan also worth RUR 15.

Add also that the dollar on the black market then was 3.4 rubles, although officially the dollar was worth something like 63 cents. It is up to the restructuring and, before the pursuit of "currency manipulation".

Incidentally, this "official" dollar 63 kopecks. has been appointed yet, if not mistaken, Khrushchev, and the purely "volitionally." When deciding how much should cost a dollar, secretary-general said that it would be undignified if the dollar will be greater than or equal to the ruble. Must be less. How? Well, for example, 63 kopecks. So they did. Funny.

Incidentally, a curious thing. In the world and currently has at least one economy with a fixed rate of national currency to the dollar. And at the moment it is quite a developed economy - United Arab Emirates. The rate of dirhams for many years stable - something like 3.62 to the dollar (as vodka in the old Soviet times). And, no, 3,67, just looked. Mistaken a little.

I remember in 1980 with his uncle went to the black Radio Market "under the bridge" in Krasnodar: audiotapes net Sony and Maxell cost 25 rubles. The legal price was 10 rubles, but it certainly was nothing. Rubik's legal cost 5 rubles illegally -10. Salaries officer was nearly 300 rubles. Engineer 120. In terms of current money for salary parity turns out that tape Sony cost about $ 100-200 were interesting times.

2.87 - the price of half a liter of vodka. And Constantine wrong: vinyl decent rock bands like Three Dog Night was worth not less than 40 rubles. And if a completely new, but more prominent type of Deep Purple In Rock, then 50-70. A volume of Mandelstam's "Poet's Library" - 40 rubles.

Another was an interesting period in the mid 1980's - the period of societies bibliophiles. It was necessary to pass the trash to get the right to acquire good and not available in trade books (which can be classed almost all the books except the volumes of materials all plenums of the CPSU and political pamphlets). A society of book lovers could "tear off" books like "Baron Munchausen", "Treasure Island" or "Modern English detective story." Virtually books were then "currency" (as vodka, as coffee, etc.) exactly the time I happened to arrive at school in the city of Ordzhonikidze (now Vladikavkaz, the capital of Sevrenoy Ossetia). Went to a bookstore and was stunned. The fact that Moscow was a horrible deficit - there is bulk and no queues. "Treasure Island", etc. - Do not want to take. Probably, by the order was received evenly and it worked somewhere in excess, but somewhere deficit.
