👉 The Soviet fluid, also known as the "Soviet liquid" or "Soviet essence," was a complex mixture of organic and inorganic compounds used extensively in the Soviet Union from the 1920s through the late 1980s. This fluid was primarily composed of water, but it also included various organic solvents, acids, bases, and other chemicals, often tailored for specific industrial applications. Its primary uses included as a solvent in chemical manufacturing, as a coolant in various machinery, and in the production of pharmaceuticals and other chemicals. The Soviet fluid played a crucial role in the country's industrial development, but its composition varied widely depending on the intended application, reflecting the Soviet Union's diverse and evolving industrial needs. Despite its utility, the fluid posed significant environmental and health risks, contributing to pollution and occupational hazards.
