According to at least former Soviet kid who posted about this, Zinaida's reaction was completely accurate and something they had lived themselves. Not because they didn't have chocolate in Russia--or even good chocolate or superior chocolate--but because they didn't have anything close to a Milky Way. (Even the finest chocolate=/=Milky Way, no matter which one they prefer.) They said when those things came in they flooded the market and they ate them every day.
