Talk:State quality mark of the USSR

Untitled
It would be nice to have a better source for this line: "after some time a lot of Soviet-made goods were certified for the sign while their quality often remained below expectations of customers." The Russian-language source cited gives the logic behind the process, but no real evidence for it. Is there anywhere a substantiated claim for corruption in the GOST system? From historical archives or empirical studies? Offwalking (talk) 04:42, 29 June 2014 (UTC)
