Modern Russian washers: I am more than pleased: Say WOW!

[washman]

I've always had a dream

to control the means of production!

I tried both links and it was all written in Sputnik so I gave up.

Still the pics looked quite nice.

Russia industry.

P.S!! Speaking of modern russian washing machines, you can see washers
"Oka" brand.

Atlant good company.
Belarusians are great! I have a refrigerator of this brand which we
bought many years ago. It works well so far! But ATLANT not russian brand.

Washing machine in the USSR, was produced in large quantities.
But generally it was a washing machines "pulsator type", with fast underwater impeller.
Gradually improving production of washing machines.
However, all produced in Russia pulsator washers remained fairly "primitive".
Automatic washing machines were "strong deficit".
For example washing machine "Vyatka".
It can be purchased only in Moscow in Soviet time.

Today "Vyatka" washing machine is no longer produced.
Of course modern "Vyatka" good and beautiful, but it only remains of luxury.
Russia usually produces outdated or primitive appliances.
--"Generally Russia backward country in terms of technology!"--
In principle Russia could be a developed country!
But Russia has two misfortunes it's a "corrupt officials" and "lazy"!
USSR also had this two misfortunes.
There are people in Russia who are developing new things with beautiful modern design and new technologies, but these two problems do not allow them to develop.
Therefore, many engineers and scientists tend to go to work in the U.S. or
in Europe.

I beg to differ with you, Daniel. In Russia, makes a wide variety of washing machines. Now also produce washing machines economy class. Automatic washing machine compete with imports hard on this it will fail. And corruption and laziness - it obsolete steriotipy, to washing machines which are irrelevant.You only know about Russia is that your parents lived in the Soviet Union, and that you have a relative in St. Petersburg, that's all. The Western press is interested in changing some facts about Russia, but this is politics. And this forum does not expect political discussions and insults. By this, I think you can stop this conversation. I apologize to those who had witnessed this conversation.

No Ivan, sorry

First of all, my apologies to have called "White Russian washers" (such as the Atlant brand from Minsk, Belarus) a "Russian brand".
It is my fault, the wording White Russian and Russian sound very much alike in German and in English. Moreover, the older USSR empire had them combined under one roof.

But coming to what is happening today (look at Ukraine and Krim) I am more than aware that there can be major disagreements of what is Russian and what is not. My fault just by the language, I am really sorry.

But yet I think, this forum here needs WAAAAYYYYYY more input from other sources than the purely Anglo-Saxon ones: Its input is highly American or UK-based, sometimes even Australian, ok.

But so many other countries are out of question here or at least underrepresented:

Many Euro countries, how about India and Africa, and how about all Far East Countries (the majority of washers worldwide seems to be built in China or Japan anyway, at least I feel like this).
Just compare:
What about our user Koalas from France (on youtube) and his site (www.lamachinealaver.com)? He has hardly posted anything here and for a good reason: It is officially "international" here but as a matter of fact, it is mainly US-based.

Compare to Edgar from Finland on vacuumland.org, same effect: Hardly posting, only when specifically asked for. (And his knowledge about the Lux/Electrolux/Volta/Trident group of products is HUGE!)

So please: Please keep posting, we all here need international input and exchange.
I love insights from other countries and other ways of seeing things.
We all could do well wanting that.

Besides: There were so many people loving the Russian Sputnik vacuum on vacuumland, so keep posting here as well for your washers! "I WANT INPUT, MORE INPUT" (this way quoting robot no. 5 from the 80s movie)
