This is why Boris Yeltsin is so loved in the West.

Soviet union: *last online 29 years ago* Nazi: *last online 76 year ago*

Russians upset because it shows footage of Russia - makes total sense.

Dissolve the USSR they said, things would be better they said lol...

When you lack the balls to tackle terrorism head on and instead proxy support the least you can do is not vilify those who take them head on

So, what BBC showed to us. When USSR gone, life in countries, which were part of it become worse. Look like BBC really sad about end of USSR:)

was this the BBC's attempt at an Anti-Russian propaganda video?

everyone: Things would be better if Soviet Union falls After Soviet Union falls:

I think there's too many Russia-related videos on BBC. Hmm, what would that mean?

The days when I was in my moms ovaries.

okay, BBC, that's about 20 or so negative facts about post-soviet Russia. Be so kind (just to stay true to your standards) and present a similar number of positive transitions that's been happening in Russia during the same period of time. Or is it not in your current "journalistic" interests?

*russia and ukraine sign a friendship treaty* Also russia: *i own you*

Nemtsov was not a leading figure in the Russian Opposition. The text is misleading and factually incorrect. Gennady Zyuganov is an example of a "real" opposition figure.

Ever since the end of the ussr, theres been a downward spiral

1:19 That can't be 2001, the quality's too good.

A whole lot has happened in Russia since 2016…

I remember that "Teddy bear with iron jaws" Regan was in office back then and the "cold war" was still going..... Dam I feel ol'e

please make longer explanatory videos. You are doing us a disservice by making things too short

Why don't you talk about freeing Aleppo from the resistance

what a beautifull christmas gift! Thank you BBC!

Russia has always had a strong man leader, from the Czars, to the Soviets, through to present day in Putin.. ... It's not hard to figure out.

The traitors destroy the great mighty USSR..

Russia: we should divide the land up evenly. I think i'll take like 85% of it though. others: *draw weapon*

lol, like nothing good ever happens in Russia...

Now suppose someone in USSR manages to somehow watch it in 1991...

Nothing about Nagorno-Karabakh...

0:23 Intelligence personel stationed abroad by the CCCP were they transferred to russia or ukraine?

but after all that bad take place ..Russia come back strongly as it has shown this from the day she has come into existence. Hope and pray from India for Russians

Can we make a movie about how many wars USA has started for the last decade ?

The region has always seen protests and demonstrations since collapse of the mighty USSR

Fallen but never forgotten

How about Russia 31 years since the USSR, please make one

"If you dont miss CCCP (USSR) you have no heart, but if you want it to return, you have no soul."

Who’s the Irish reporter please?

polonium poisoning ??? damn these Russians are crazy xD

I liked the part at 0:55. They are making at look as though it was Russia who attacked Chechnya, when in fact, Russia was defending itself. In 1999 Chechnya broke the armstice and attacked Dagestan, one of the Federal subjects of Russia. I'm sure that if, say, Ireland tried to secede from the UK, become an extremist islamic state and wage war against them, the brits would love it...

everybody owns those tanks now

@0:44 some friendship treaty that was 🙄

This makes nowadays events more …. The red flags have been here for all long.

It will return

BBC forgot about Tajikistan, a small mountain Persian speaker country in Central Asia, border with Afghanistan and China, where was civil war since 1991, died more than three hundred thousands (300,000) innocent people, because of USSR and democracy, it was a part of Soviet Union... I don't pay for showing my motherland

30 years now.

Where real man cried...

Waiting for "The London Bridge has Fallen"

Did they the same for USA ?

The BBC is so good at hating others. That's truly professional.

Это было страшное время.

I forgot all these things had happened. Yikes

Western propaganda at its best....

The success of Stalin - the man who used to boast that he conquered the United States "from the plow to the atomic bomb in just a generation" - compared to Gorbachev's failure shows that a socialist economy is unable to function with a minimum of efficiency without requiring a massive dose of political violence. In an attempt to reform a decadent regime, Gorbachev moved faster with the process of political opening in the hope of removing the predictable resistance that the Soviet bureaucracy would create to economic reform measures, as thorough proof with the failed attempt. coup d'état in August 1991 - which ended up precipitating the final crisis of socialism and the dissolution of the USSR itself Its Chinese parallel - Deng Xiaoping - adopted a logic diametrically opposed to that of Gorbachev: it prioritized the achievement of economic prosperity (adopting in practice capitalism) precisely to delay any attempt at political opening, as was evident with the acceleration of the economy. reforms after the Tiananmen Square massacre. It is important to note that it was Karl Marx himself who, in his Contribution to the Critique of Political Economy, discerned the scenario in which the conditions for a social revolution process are formed, describing it as follows: “At a certain stage in its development, the material productive forces of society contradict existing production relations or - which is only their legal expression - with the property relations in which they have been active until then. From the forms of development of the productive forces, these relations are transformed into fetters of them. So, it is a time of social revolution. '* By rejecting the pursuit of profit maximization as an instrument to stimulate innovation, socialist countries ended up condemning themselves to obsolescence. Thus, they lost the chance to incorporate the productivity gains made possible by technological progress. That is why the capitalist countries managed to provide a greater rise in the standard of living of their population, even without pursuing the egalitarian ideal. Therefore, until the “final crisis of socialism” (to paraphrase K. Marx's own definitions once again), it was only a matter of time. But religious fanatics do not give up on their faith, even against the indisputable proof of the facts, which completely refute it! * Reproduced according to MARX, K.

THANK YOU AFGHANISTAN FOR BRINIGNG DOWN THE USSR 🇦🇫🇦🇫 LMAOOOO

Hey, even China's state-own TV channel can make a less lousy propaganda than this one

Was this the BBC's first anti propaganda video on Russia?

)

Reminds one of just how piss-poor historical summaries of events can be.

czech-chen-nyahh lol

Glory to putin!

BBC is just too shy to show the truth

Poorly made propaganda. BBC needs to rewatch Soviet propaganda to see how things are supposed to be done in this Business.

Thank you Russia

Putin will be immemorialized. Bad ass leader.

Delirium bbc you aren’t good news more
