I'd like to think there would be a Soviet KVD handing out imaginary friends to Soviet children.  Though there would be a waiting list and most kids would only get them at around 16 years of age.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

It would be for the better.  Being Soviet-made, those imaginary friends would probably die within the next few months.

I agree.

No, didn't have any imaginary or animal friends.  I like to be alone.

I was talking to some friends earlier today and as happens the conversation went in strange directions until suddenly we were talking about imaginary friends we had when we were kids. Some said they had them, some didn't (or claimed not to or don't remember), one girl then started going on in great detail about how awesome her imaginary friend was. Then I asked her- 'So what was she?'
'What was she what?'
'What animal was she?'
'...she was my imaginary friend...She was a girl....'
:hmm:

Now this strikes me as quite odd, you see myself and most kids back home tend to have imaingary animal friends.
I had a mouse, originally named Mousey. Though he was unquestionably a small mouse (maybe bigger than a normal one...more guinea pig sized) he had some anthropomorphic qualities; he went on holiday occasionally, had a nanna who occasionally came to visit him, etc...
A friend of mine I remember had a very weird one, he had a cow. Nothing weird and human like. Just a cow. In the garden. He'd occasionally just stand up and stop playing and say 'I've got to go milk my cow now' and off he'd go into the garden where he had  a bucket and a stool and he would mime milking a cow for a little while.
This friend despite being a fit sports guy has a very very fat girlfriend now. Which makes me wonder.

Did you have an imaginary friend? Or do your kids have one?
The only kid who had an imaginary friend that I knew had a friend that was a boy. I never heard of imaginary animal friends, they've always been shown as other children in the fiction I've seen/read unless the main characters were animals themselves.

You've never read Calvin and Hobbes, then?
Not when I was a kid, I came across Calvin and Hobbes when I was in my late teens I think.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

No imaginary friends here when I was a kid. However, we were poor and couldn't afford such luxuries.

I had an imaginary friend that was a dude. He looked like a stick figure but was bigger than me. We use to box. And that was about it.
I want my mother fucking points!

Did you imagine your imaginary friend was on top of you when you used that purple dildo for the first time?

No. Sadly, I killed him in our last boxing match. :(

Didn't have an imaginary friend.
Women want me. Men want to be with me.
