As a student was telling me, during Soviet times people usually washed their laundry by hand. Some people had washers, but clothes often got stuck inside parts of the machine. As for dryers - well they were nonexistant. When she went to England for the first time, she was surprised that such an invention existed. Upon her return to Russia, her friends didn't believe her when she told them about it.
Apparently plastic bags in trash bins were (and still are often) unheard of. Usually, garbage it thrown directly into the can.

I remember the same type of disbelief when a visitor saw my electric kettle; he had never seen one before.
