Here’s the standard high school history class summary of the Soviet Union: The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) was a communist state from 1922 to 1991 and was a big rival of the US from WWII to the end of the ’80s. But what was the Soviet Union really like? What was it like living in the Soviet Union? That same history class probably told you that it was awful, but it’s a lot more complicated than that.

I'm from Greece and i read many comments as " we had not bananas' or " we had only two channels on Tv". I grew up until 1989 with only two nationals channels in Greece and we weren't in Soviet Union.The most of the europeenes countries were the same. Until 1970s, bananas were rare or expensive because the difficulties of transportation and the high taxes. It was logical to have problems with kiwis, bananas or other exotic fruits in Soviet Union because they need a lot of money to have them as many other capitalist countries in the same period. We can blame the Soviet Union for a lot of problems. Me neither i believe that " it was paradise" but it is very stupid to blame it for the same problems who had the capitalist countries.
Yeltzin visited the US, and held the assumption that they would show him staged tours in an attempt to deceive him, so he insisted they go to a random store instead. During the tour he stated that even well off high ranking party members don't have that kind of options
The Soviet system to buy food sounds alot like how you buy drugs, but less safe
Life is the same now in Russia. They are mindless sheep dominated by a dictator, they just have nicer cars now
9:35 Interesting that a lot of americans thought these bands were anti christian, but the soviets thought they were too pro religion
They were right about the pederasts and pedophiles. Open sexual depravity has done irreparable damage to the west.
I love USSR❤
He no not know what he is saing. He never was there. Bulshit.
Do a video on life in the United States before LibTurds destroyed it.
Is life better there now in 2024?
To want de Sovjet Union back = extreme danger of nuclear world war ( because the Sovjets wanted , like the Puninists, a world wide Imperium, also archived with the User of nuklear weapons)😢
Well, I guess the soviets didn't get EVERYTHING wrong. Pederasty ought to be criminalized.
This is the Kind shit the democrate party want,s and only fools vote democrate party.
Bernie's dream?
who can also say exactly how he lived in the USSR as someone who has never lived in it
Born in Gdr. Thank you for nothing, Iwan. You can keep your rotten society!
LOL not that I am pro communism, but the first two examples are not soviet, but are about capitalistic expressions within soviet Russia. Like, that makes it feel like such propaganda.
It would be great to also talk about the context of that time. Antigay sentiments were not exclusive to the USSR, the west was also notorious for being gay-oppressive.
Frank Underwood always was a historian, great video!!!
Paranoia, secrecy and repression. That's the Soviet model. Tell the people their country is the best but hide the rest of the world from them. North Korea has perfected this.
В СССР не было безработицы. Работали тысячи предприятий, заводов. Куда бы ты не приехал, ты мог пойти и устроиться на работу за один день! Человек был везде нужен. Если у тебя не было где жить, например ты приехал из другого города, тебе давали комнату в общежитие.
Моему папе, как он устроился слесарем, предприятие сразу дали ему квартиру ведомственную. Ему было тогда 21 год. Он работал слесарем простым и учился заочно в институте. Потом, когда папа закончил институт, стал инженером и ездил на нефтяной промысел инженером вахтой, ему предприятие дали большую квартиру.
А ещё везде с домами рядом строили детские садики и школы. Где с детьми разнообразно занимались и физкультурой и пением и различными играми и очень вкусно и полноценно кормили, 3, 4 раза в день. В школе, если ребёнок оставался до вечера, можно было устроить дневной сон, были комнаты с кроватями. А в детском саду был обязательный дневной сон, а потом шли на прогулку на улицу. У детских садов своя территория с беседками и деревьями.
А когда мы становились школьниками, то могли ходить на секции и кружки по интересам. Все бесплатно. Я ходила в городскую станцию юных натуралистов, с нами занимались педагоги, а люди из вузов уже присматривали там талантливых детей и старшекласникам предлагали после школы идти в тот или иной вуз.
Lenin was seemingly better – sensed than Stalin, just worked the commie state differently than Mean Joe.
If you spend years on a wating list to get a car, you're gonna really look after it when you finally get one
Am primit videoul dupa turul 1 de la prezidențialele din 2024 în România :)))
One day people will see that all the propaganda about communism is false, and that they're living life as brainwashed capitalistic pigs
boring
