It's 1934. The USSR lives brightly. The famine of 1932-33 is already over. The era of the Great Terror has not yet begun. And no one can even imagine a war approaching. It is urgent to buy equipment abroad but where to get gold and currency for industrialization? For these purposes throughout the country work Torgsins - shops for trade with foreigners - oases of prosperity and abundance, which Soviet people have not seen since pre-revolutionary times.
