СССР «Знак качества» (Season 1)

USSR: Quality Mark (2019) is a Russian documentary series you can watch online on iFILM, hosted by rock musician Garik Sukachev.

Each episode examines one sector of Soviet production — a consumer product, a car model, a medical device, a public health system — and asks whether it actually earned the famous five-pointed quality stamp (Znak Kachestva) or whether nostalgia has done most of the work. Archive footage, surviving artefacts, and first-hand accounts fill out each case, with a side-by-side look at how those same industries stand in Russia today. The show is closer to an evidence-based audit than a nostalgia trip — which is what makes it interesting. Stream USSR: Quality Mark (2019) online on iFILM.
