@sdelanovussr: In the Soviet Union, during the summer of 1987, my friends and I spent nearly every free moment caring for fifty nutrias at my summer cottage. Mikhaylych visited them every evening after work, bringing fresh grass, carrots, and beets, while Maksimych helped us find enough animal feed. We even built a pond, although keeping the water clean became a weekly nightmare! Soon, Mikhaylych started giving the animals names, especially his favorite, Zorka. Before long, we stopped calling them livestock and started calling them ours. My children loved feeding them, although my wife Sveta wasn't thrilled that I spent every weekend with giant rodents instead of fixing our leaking faucet. By late July, the nutrias were growing beautifully, and we were already dreaming of our future profits. But then the gardening association chairman arrived with our angry neighbor Aunt Valya and gave us an ultimatum: we had one month to remove every single nutria from the property! #USSR #sovietunion #History #story
