Американские горки представляют собой железнодорожную систему специальной конструкции, спроектированной так, чтобы состав вагонеток с пассажирами, проходящий по ней, резко изменял направление и скорость движения.
ПЕРЕВОД: They represent a railway system of a special design, designed so that the composition of trolleys with passengers passing along it, sharply changed the direction and speed of movement. Since the trolleys do not have their own energy source, the acceleration uses the transformation of the potential energy of the composition into kinetic and vice versa.
From Europe, they began to bring fashion magazines and jazz records, and in theaters they showed the first foreign films. Therefore, the model of behavior of post-war youth was a contrast, reflecting the "Western way of life" in films. Undoubtedly, they liked the stereotype, which was described in American films, and slang and distinctive style of clothing became the subject of imitation of Soviet youth. Of course, the real life in foreign countries was significantly different from the one that "American" films were "imposed" on. But I did not want to think about this or anyone. Young people listened to the newfangled jazz and danced boogie boogie, trying in everything to be like their favorite movie heroes. Formed by the 1950s, the style was significantly different from the communist ideology. Men wore narrow trousers (famous "pipes"), long double-breasted jackets, bright shirts in combination with colorful ties, sharp-pointed boots and sunglasses. Unlike men, girls never formed a single image. Therefore, the minimal details that did not correspond to Soviet stereotypes were enough for public disgrace and the inclusion in the "ranks" of style. So, for girls it was characteristic: sewn bows and the prevalence of a large number of trinkets. The clothes consisted of several colors and were chosen with a special taste. Light suits were supplemented with all sorts of accessories (sticks or belts). Particular preference was given to the colors in the cage, peas or large strips. Stilts were the children of wealthy parents (high-ranking officials or professors). Most likely, therefore, they saw a falsity in the communist system. By their appearance, the youth protested against "leveling" in music and clothes, because they considered themselves to be higher than beggars of the same age. Perhaps, that is why the style subculture had some impetus for the subsequent development of modern youth. The current adolescents are trying to achieve something new, stand out from the crowd and reveal their own "I". And this is very important today! The emerging subculture of the style was considered the Soviet movement of the second half of the 40s - 50s. At this time in the busy streets of the cities you could see young people dressed up to indecency in defiant clothing. Supporters of the movement of that time were cynical in their judgments and indifference to Soviet norms of behavior and morality. Subculture style is a kind of protest against standard stereotypes of behavior, uniformity in clothing and style. Although, according to experts, this subculture is not current today. It is a thing of the past, leaving a bright imprint in the Soviet era
