When I asked my mother about her childhood and youth,she smiled.She said, that her youth was the best time of all life.First of all,bekause youth is time of care-free, careless happiness, time of amusement, time of walks under the moon. Next, because life was different. ,,We lived in the time of communism. We were members of Komsomol. If a chiled studied very badly , excellent pupils of our class had to help him in his study. All the pupils tried tu study better, because every month a director used to give red flags for 3 best classes,,-Said me mother
with praude.Every morning the director of school used to stand in front of the entrance
and check tied. It had to be clean and neatly ironed.My mother said about communism, like aboute only nice, wonderful time. I think it was time of cheap things and long-long lines, time of care of Soviet Authority aboute people and
discrimination of many rights of a person.But for all that I think youth is an especially time,when politics, economics, ecologie and other problems do not interest young people very much. In the youth every person gets inerests in musiks,
dances, parties, love, friends, poems, walks.And youth, in the time of communism or socialism or demokratism, is youth.

How communism influenced my parents in their youth?
How some people say that during communism life was better than in our days.May be it is so, I don't know exactly. I was a child when the time of communism was over.For better results I asked my parents about that time,how it influenced their lives.My father belongs to such sort of people as I told before."People could be
sure in next day,"said he."We knew that at the end of each month,on the same day we would get our earning. If your boss made anything unlegal according to you, you can make so that he would be punished for all. Now every man who has a lot of money thinks that he is a "god".Who can be sure in next day?
