This is the continuation of the  Soviet Radio History in pictures. The pictures are taken from the soviet journal "Radio" - the leading magazine about radio related issues in the Soviet Union. This part will be about sixties - the golden age of the soviet technology. Soviets made worldwide breakthrough by getting first man Yuri Gagarin in space. The rocket technology made advancements both in space exploration and in military. The radio and television also saw great advancements as the first portable transistor radios were produced. In following years the tube (lamp) receivers became obsolete pawing ways for more effective cheaper and less space taking radios. The television also became more widespread, as the first color TV's appeared all union received TV signals. Army also saw advancements in radio equipment. However, in the mid sixties the hopes of winning the Cold War by using advanced technology failed to meet the expectations of the soviet leaders. The state controlled economy started to stagnate and lack towards the Western free market. In result the soviet radio technologies and the state of living as whole fared behind the western one. Despite that the production in radios, TV's and other related stuff never ceased and lasted until late eighties. We must bear in mind that despite its technological character this journal featured large amounts of soviet propaganda that often made the soviet technology more better than it was in real life. However, the artwork and photos of this journal are still a valuable part of the soviet heritage.
