Very good documentary ! 5 stars. Although makes me wonder what in the world made them dissolve the union? To buy jeans and shiny toys from west? Abandon free housing, free medical, dirt cheap transport, rent, food, but hey, I now got Levis ! I think the people voted overwhelmingly to be in the union (I read around 80% from all republics except the baltics). So it was just some corrupt politicians like yeltsin and his ukrainian counterpart at the time who wanted to loot their republics by dissolving the union.

Thank you for this nostalgia trip,,,I’m the singer at the 4 minute mark.

I love USSR

Trains were electrified in the 1990s.

Nice to see a documentary on YT that isn't just anti-communist propaganda from start to finish.

I never trust any Aussie doin a take on Russian society

Why does finland look like butt cheeks at 1:32

I was in kindergarten in 1989. We were told Japan was 10 years in the future. I realized in 2018 that people had at least one picture of Shibuya Crossing when they said it. Now I wonder if that is as honest as selling travel to the USA by showing the Las Vegas strip and Times Square. I got interested in seeing Japan back then. My mom had a 1985 Nissan Maxima and I loved it. A combination of Knight Rider, Tron, and giant mecha is how it was made. It made me want the Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo (Z32 Fairlady TT) when it went on sale. To 1980s kids, turbo power sounded like magic. Twin turbo sounded like even more magic to me.

Beautiful nation ever existed!!!! ❤❤❤

At 13:07 it is the women's role to shop cook take care of the house, and of course be a good mother >>>> in 1978 according to US agenda that's is a bad thing women oppressed....2024 US RedPill men bit****g crying women role should be cook take care of the house, and of course be a good mother 🤣

Nowadays, 2024, Kentaro must be in your 44-47 years old (my age right now).

Things were changing pretty fast back then. To think how much has changed between 1990 and 2005, and compare it with the 2008 we are still pretty much stuck in...

1982...a magical year. So many good things not only in Japan...Akira's Katsuhiro Otomo, good music, films....wow 😊.

Now European continent is invaded by Barbarians.

*EXCELLENT!!!* :)))... Very interesting film. Special Thank's! SPrangER.

Amazing

Well for me who never lived under apartheid government I often ask my elders who were in those so called opressedpuppet states they usually tell me that they would give anything to return to the good old days were jobs were available with no crime and rampant drug and alcohol abuse. 30 plus years of communist rule has ruin this country you can not tell me otherwise that the the current state of affairs are normal in south africa. Yeah surerly there was segregation along the racial and tribal lines and as were speaking I say that was best thing for all the cultures in south africa, what has mixing a complished a mongrels who are xhosa but speak Afrikaans vice-versa with no cultural identity. What a mess just melting pot of soup one conflict away from a civil war due to racial and class envy

This is 1992 earliest. The central park tower is fully built here, and construction on that building wasn't completed until May of that year. So my best guess is that this footage is from 1993/1994

That cat doll looks like shiba enu.

Es un documental de la URSS, no de Rusia únicamente. Gracias por el video pero el título no es el mejor.

10:54 what happened to this guy

Amazing. To see something like this is surreal. We hear about it in movies and read about it in books. But to see it in this style is amazing.

The jumping ball of brown cotton at the beginning of the film is a nice touch. It serves as a reminder that there are so many feeble-minded Americans willing to do an Otto Warmbier in countries with mile-long State Department warnings.

That time was a disaster

Pre-anime era. This is era before anime conquered Japan and the world.

1971

A lot of comments are complaining about the title Russia used instead of USSR. Get over it, it was filmed in 1984. Before USSR the whole region was the Russian Empire and during USSR the word “Russia” was used synonymous along with “USSR” in the west, and included all the Russian republics (Moldova, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Ukraine). In the case of Ukraine, it was a much smaller *cultural* region before and even during USSR but they used the word Ukraine to describe a larger region for administrative convenience. It wasn’t describing the Ukranian cultural region but a far larger administrative region artificially contruxted by the USSR as an administrative function.

mentioning Kazakhstan and immediately afterwards calling Mongolia "the world`s largest landlocked nation" 😀

I remember as a child being on a plane that was stopping over in Hong Kong, i remember looking out the window and marvelling at just how close we were to the water, i can't remember if we were landing or taking off.. but i remember seeing the Junks with their fan like sails passing by, thought it was marvelous, a memory i still have :)

Back to British hongkong

I like the video, but lets be honest, this i'snt a doc, is propaganda!

Will it ever come to pass... 😂

Great period of history

Oh i beg you please dont delete it Its like good false memory of an old day

Yeah has to be early 90's. That guy on stilts was there when I was working for Telstra (Telecom at the time) and walking around the malls in early 90's. Also the skyline is too busy for early 80's

And then came the 90’s

Late '80s maybe, but certainly not early 80s. Also, the Perth Entertainment Centre (now demolished) was built in 1972 - hardly new at the time. But thanks for the video, nice reminders.

No Coke billboards. Beautiful

Ms Kimura speaks good english to her pupils.

awww people in the comments are not mad about immigration

Japan 🇯🇵 is cool!

Hang on! This is kids tv in the 70s? Imagine getting a 10 year old to sit down and watch this now.

This was before the bubble burst.

Wow, Goa looked so different back then!! I absolutely love this state, but I wish the government took better care of it. One of the only really nice beaches left is Agonda. (there are others of course; Palolem is still good). But it’s certainly changed.

Żydokomuna

What life im living now

Я в 1979 году снимал Москву, Красную площадь, Парк горького. Оцифровал. Не публиковал пока.

How and where can I find the full documentary??

Japan really is something. I think they are one of the most important countries in the world.

Where is Kentaro? We must find him.
