To specify when I mean sell I mean one person, without approval from the state goes and sells something to another individual where rubles trade hands.
Pretty simple question but I’ve heard a lot of answers, one person from Ukraine told me only vegetables grown in one’s own garden, another from Ukraine said only vegetables (from garden) and hand knit clothes, one from Vladivostok said only vegetables (from garden) and meats from small animals caught in a trap, and multiple from East Germany said nothing. However, the internet (harbinger of all things true ofc) says that it’s a host of things which I don’t think is correct. Anyone have any answers for this? My thought is maybe these lists are based off the rules of each individual Soviet Republic which my gut is telling me is not true. I also should mention that none of these people were actually alive during the 1950s so I take what they say with a grain of salt.
