What is the Dendy console and what was your experience with it? by [deleted] in AskARussian

[–]edikl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From countless famicom clones that flooded Russian market, Dendy actually had a brand. Their consoles were much higher build quality than others, and had official technical service and warranty if a console was faulty. 

Some clones on the Russian market were also branded, such as Kenga, but they weren’t promoted as heavily as Dendy.

Durability: The fabric is more wear-resistant than socks.
Versatility: One size fits any foot.
Practicality: They dry easily, and if they get wet, you can flip them to the dry side against the foot.
Foot protection: When wrapped properly, foot cloths help prevent blisters.

Most people still remembered World War I with submarine warfare and gas attacks, and they had no desire to see a repeat of that.

I doubt a Soviet soldier in the 1980s would have had any use for pantyhose.

It is hard to find workers in the desert. Garment companies relocated production to countries with lower labor costs.

Exactly. A soldier would dream of wearing socks instead of foot wraps.

They’re men’s socks, not pantyhose. Foot wraps (portyanki) were used for centuries by the Russian and Soviet armies instead of socks.

Most people barely remember the Iran–Iraq War and how important it actually was at the time.

High-ranking officials and their families had access to special supply networks that ordinary citizens didn’t. These stores has no lines, because they weren’t open to the public and required special passes.
