Maybe some vodka.

Though my family were but simple Cossack "farmers", so we made such things ourselves since going to the city was a rare event.

At least at first. After a while we were issued a big ol' truck to transport more items to a depot instead of waiting for the government to come around and pick up things. That way we had to service the truck after driving on our bad back roads instead of the government fleet having to repair all their own vehicles.

Anyway, even then it was rare to get treats like that. Better to get necessities for the entire family and make your own sweets.

Fine under Stalin. Then things got worse.

Too many people who thought that their turn at being in power meant that they had to clean out the old guy's support network and start all over with their own people. One of the reasons why I was never officially conscripted into the military, just encouraged to go play in war zones. They didn't have a potential subversive in their ranks, but the USSR still had a deniable asset in play. I must imagine that the records office had a field day in trying to cover over how I was a citizen without the mandatory conscription. Who knows, maybe I was enrolled and served absentee?

I suppose I was an interesting fringe case.
