Soviet Union Walking Comparison
WATCH: This 60-year-old woman walks 12 miles to and from work every day, six days a week. She is a symbol of hard work and determination to her community so, they knew they had to help out in a big way ❤️ In 1986 if you'd run a story about a woman in the Soviet Union walking 24 miles a day, 6 days a week to work it would have been framed as a horror of a communist state.
A tweet screenshot contrasts a heartwarming news story about a 60-year-old woman walking 12 miles to and from work every day with an imagined 1986 story about a Soviet woman walking 24 miles to work. The joke mocks Western media framing: similar hardship is praised as determination in one context but condemned as evidence of communist oppression in another.
