15:22 < rsynnott> Also, the Soviet Union is back! And being run by women with bad bras
15:22 < rsynnott> (which is probably realistic enough, had the Soviet Union ever had a female premier. They had a lot of trouble with their nylon supplies)
15:23 < spoon> ...
15:23 < nosmo> ... did they actually have trouble with nylon supplies? 
15:23 < rsynnott> yes
15:24 < rsynnott> There's a bizarre BBC documentary, think it's on youtube, where Panorama or similar goes to Moscow, just after perestroika started
15:25 < rsynnott> there they meet with members of one of the central planning bodies, who complain about fashion making their job difficult now that Russians were exposed to the outside world, and the nylon thing being a particular problem
15:25 < nosmo> you never cease to amaze me :D
