     This subject was something I put together after a trip to Russia.  The old wooden structure is a real place and the baby buggy is identical to every other baby buggy in the country.  In the old Soviet Union the government created a factory to manufacture a product like a baby buggy or a sewing machine or even a certain size truck and then produce about a million or more of those items.  Therefore they all looked exactly alike. All baby buggies there are red and all the trucks are blue.  The most disastrous result of this socialist system for making things was that the factories are shut down when the quota was met.  Then if the item had a problem, and problems were rife because the products were shoddy, there were no spare parts or repairmen to fix them.  I heard stories about refrigerators being cannibalized in order to keep a few of them running.
