A line from a popular song, "Everything belongs to the kolkhoz, everything belongs to me" ("всё теперь колхозное, всё теперь моё" / vsyo teperь kolkhoznoe, vsyo teperь moyo), meaning that people on collective farms treasured all common property as their own, was sometimes used ironically to refer to instances of petty theft.
Rida populaarsest laulust "Kõik kuulub (kolhoosile), kõik kuulub mulle" ("всё теперь колхозное, всё теперь моё") tähendas, et inimesed pidasid kogu ühisomanduses olevat vara enda omaks, kasutati mõnikord irooniliselt, et viidata pisivargustele.
