[RU] Russian box translation

[asbjos]

Hi

My grandfather has been in many countries, and Russia is one of them. Ten years ago, I got a box from him. It's in metal, and I guess that the words on it are Russian. Could some Orbinauts please translate this for me and tell me what it says and what cind of box this is and what it was used for?

Sorry for the poor pictures, they were made with a web camera. If you can't read it, I can make much better pictures for you. Thanks in advance!

It's a vintage Soviet-era tea package.

top reads: Georgian Tea Extra Selection

front has a label of supervisor entity: Ministry of Food Industry of Russian Soviet Federate Socialist Republic (a name for Russia as a part of the USSR), RosDietTchaiProm - a ministry's division for Tea and Dietic nutrition.

back simply reads: Tea Packing Factory (without specifying, which one).

Believe me, the fact the package is empty, is not a terrible loss.

That looks like Newspeak.

It is.
