As [Mikoyan] declared in a January 1936 speech: βI am a great supporter of the production of ice cream. Certain comrades believe to this day that ice cream is merely a childrenβs treat, and is of no use to grown-ups.β At this point Mikhail Kalinin, who was in attendance, exclaimed, βBut everyone loves ice cream!β Mikoyan replied, βThey love it, but some shun it out of hypocrisy, because they believe itβs just for kids. The production of ice cream needs to be expanded as much as possible. I am lobbying for ice cream, because it is a very delicious and nourishing food.β
important soviet discourse
the image of this guy going βbut everyone loves ice creamβ is driving me insane
