Re: News and Comments from MakTime: Aleksandr Makarov`s Exclusive Interview for WUS Russia

Silversen, thank you very much for organizing, taking, and translating this interview, and many thanks also to Mr. Makarov - I realize how valuable his time is.
I don't know if the existing Russian movements will increase in price, but I am pretty sure that we would have gained much more if one of the last real alternative engineering traditions kept going on. But I am wondering if the fall of the USSR is the reason of this decline. Now I am trying to find when the last new movement was introduced in the USSR and it seems it was well before Gorbachev. I would even say that the Golden era was late 1950s - 1960s.

Russia is often associated with cold weather. GOST tests, at least in USSR, were conducted under 0 - 40 Celsius against +8/+38 COSC. 'Best watches for deadly cold weather' was one of the arguments I was able to sell to other watch enthusiasts while defending Russian watches, maybe this could be used alongside with military / space lines.
