This Week from the Archives

“The Council of Ministers of the RSFSR and Gosplan [State Planning Agency] of the RSFSR reported that to decrease the plan for procurements of popping corn for 1964 is not recommended because the existing level of production does not satisfy the population's demand for foods prepared from these varieties of corn.”

The Soviet people demanded more popcorn! That is all.

Nice, always happy to see corn make an appearance; and a good read, too. Thanks!
