Great importance was attached to leisure in the USSR. It was the Soviet Constitution that became the first in the world to enshrine the citizens' right to rest. So, what was it like – Soviet-style leisure? Why did some citizens of the USSR have the legal right to 45 or even over 60 days of vacation per year? How much did the most expensive and the cheapest vacation packages cost? Why were sanatoriums and holiday homes often built like palaces that real kings might envy? How did vacationers start resort romances, and what consequences could that have for them?
