“It (the savings book) contains all my hope”
The operative officer of the post-war MUR, Volodya Sharapov, who infiltrated the thieves' raspberries, fussed about the savings book as the most valuable thing in his life (the film “The Meeting Place Cannot Be Changed”). Let's remember how it happened:
In general, Hunchback believed. And how can you not believe a lesson when a savings book is at stake... Only modern youth will not understand what kind of “book” this is, in which “all hope” lies.
A savings book is almost the same as a bank card now, i.e. Then you opened your own account and issued a “book”. It looked like a real paper book in which transactions on this account were recorded (receipts and withdrawals of funds).
Anyone could put money “on the book”, but withdrawal could only be made personally to the citizen in whose name the account was opened, having confirmed his identity with a passport and this very book.

"Keep your money in a savings bank"
Here, for example, is the famous phrase of a burglar with the sonorous name Georges Miloslavsky (L. Kuravlev) from the legendary Gaidaev comedy “Ivan Vasilyevich is changing his profession.” Having pulled out several thick wads of Soviet rubles from the secret locker of an underground rich man, the charming thief turns to the viewer with a grin: “Citizens! Keep your money in a savings bank! And he adds meaningfully after a moment’s hesitation: “If, of course, you have them...”
Why not advertising? This financial institution housed the population's savings. The Soviet Savings Bank is the same as a state bank now, only without competitors.
Quotes from Soviet films
Films from Soviet times have long been classics in cinema, and we still use some quotes from them, even without noticing or suspecting it. The trick of Soviet quotes is their simplicity and nationality. They are forever entrenched in Russian speech, complementing even our ordinary everyday conversations. Because of censorship, Soviet screenwriters sometimes had to invent quotes in a way that made sense and was pleasing to the government.
The most famous films from the USSR are: “Prisoner of the Caucasus”, “Moscow Doesn’t Believe in Tears”, “Operation Y and Other Adventures of Shurik”. These representatives of USSR cinema gave us a bunch of interesting quotes from Soviet films, which you can read in our source.
“They’ll screw you... Don’t steal”
What could be more beautiful than the Papanov-Mironov tandem? So in “Beware of the Car” these Soviet stars created an unforgettable duet of a young, always shaking thief and his dim-witted father-in-law.
So, look at the phrases “They will screw you, but don’t steal” and “Your house is a prison!”, which the “caring” father-in-law Papanov said parting words to his son-in-law Mironov, accompanying all this with his signature laugh.
Of course, today the sins of Mironov’s hero can be considered ridiculous - he simply held back consignment goods for familiar buyers, taking a small bribe for it. And this is precisely what his father-in-law reproached him for, despite the fact that he (father-in-law) had to live in his son-in-law’s house. In general, they stole in the Union too, and how, but, of course, the scale was different.
