Successful Polish private farmer, 1980

[u/dawidlijewski]

Agriculture was never collectivized in communist Poland, so private farms could exist. Those lucky enough to have fertile soil and good market connections could earn very good money through hard work and smart investment decisions. This farmer owns a house, a car, a dishwasher, and a color TV, and could even afford vacations in Hungary.

Wife is working the garden, kids are kids while the poor guy is fixing the Pierdolonez (again).

Pierdolonez 😂

Im not polish and i never heard that before, that name is literal folk art and should belong to national heritage

I also really love the pebble facades that i have only seen in Poland so far

There's also the style with crushed glass in it. My aunts house around Rzesow had it and I haven't seen it ever outside of Poland.
