An ordinary citizen had to apply for a permit to buy a TV or radiono, it is just scaretale. Soviets was not that bad. And seriously, why need a permit to access 100% government-owned media censored to the roots?
it took monthsmaybe for some devices, as production was often lacking. Btw because of said lack of production volumes there were written queues for the applicants to reserve wanted device, which may be confused for "permit".
up to a year's salary to buy one.may be for the top-line devices, but in general no. Mostly the tube-era receivers werent cost more than 1-2 monthly salary, and many were significantly less than 1.
This is the most popular transmitter design used by these stations (I think this is it anyway).The text on the top states " УКВ приставка", meaning "FM add-on", the thingie allowing to receive FM broadcast (OIRT FM those times) on AM-only device. It was quite useful and somewhat popular gadget, since at the moment FM broadcasting started there, many people already had AM receivers - that oldschool ones, all wood and metal, often combined with vinyl player (this type was named радиола)
