Radiotehnika









The factory Rīgas Radio Rūpnīca (RRR), also know as Radiotehnika, was a major radio and vinyl record player producer in Soviet Latvia. The original factory disappeared together with the Soviet Union and today its name has been used for a company that produces acoustic systems only. However old RRR's radios, vinyl and cassette players can still be found in quite a lot of homes in ex-USSR countries. The photos above are of Radiotehnika's product lines in 1970ies.

Energetics and Lenin










In the Latvenergo's museum of energetics in Riga one can find a lot of household goods from the past, such as old fridges, irons or telephones. But surprisingly they also got many things about Lenin.
