that is not a chant. that is just the military hurraahh, like you have in every military. also u need to fix the quality. this sucks. no one was laughing there
communism and socialism work only in a perfect world with exceptions. the only problem is that the world isn't perfect and you can't make the exceptions you need to because they defy human nature. @gammondog is right. the truth is the world isn't fair, and the attempts to make it fair just make it unfair for others and degrade social growth. there is no true 'communist' country and there never has been. anyone who thinks otherwise has obviously never read the communist manifesto
Communism sucks! I suspect that many of those who wax nostalgic for the old regime are too young to remember how dreadful it was. In a world of nuclear weaponry, autocrats and single party governments are too dangerous. Democracy is messy but it's our best hope for survival.
Communism is unfair following the americans, for the americans if 1 guy makes tons of money and 100 guys live on the streeth with no food to eat than the call it far the should have finded an job or some kinda western bullshit.
@ruudjuh16 oh you propaganda filled eastern bloc person, how wrong you are. yeah, there is a pretty big wealth disparity in america, you're right. but its more like 5 guys make a shit load of money, 50 guys live pretty comfortably, and 5 guys live in 'poverty' aka they live off of more money than the average person in russia does today AND they receive assistance and other benefits from the government. 'poor' in america is when you have twice as much money as the avg. person in russia. fact.
@slobhinav yeah, the soviet union is clearly better than the united states. a country where you can't speak your mind without fear of reprisal and where the government doesn't allow the flow of information. quite frankly, i can read people openly criticizing the usa, you couldn't do that in the ussr. at least in the united states when the government lies the other political party exposes them after 6 months.
fun fact: 90+% of americans make more than the average annual income in russia
Ummm........Have you ever been to the Soviet Union or met anyone who has?
My grandfather used to study there for years at a time and (after Stalin) things got relatively relaxed, as long as you didn't make protests against governments or press announcements, you were fine to talk against it.
@multiplantagenet , communism works perfectly you just need diversity. the ussr was amazing and my family has many roots to it , infact im from russia and i say that in order for it to work you need to make alot of heavy industry but also focus on consumer goods a little more. you know this is true.
A year after General Kalinin (here he is in the behind car going in rear of the Minister of Defence) was transfered to the reserve dut to putsch support. One jokingly called him "Putschist".
Communism only works in theory you have to take away basic human rights for it to work. Everyone is suppose to be equal but some are more equal than others. It's a failed system and it's only a matter of time when the Asian communist collapse like Europes did.
I think the problem with the october revoluction is that it carries this idiological baggage of socialism and communism.Perhaps a future generation might view that time in history more like an independence day and bring back the parade. At least we still have the victory day parade. Thanks for this historical video.
Does anyone know where one can find an English transcript of these telecasts -- both the announcers and the contents of the speeches? I would also like to see translations of the big posters hanging around the square. They were more prevalent in previous years and I've never known what they say. Thank you for posting.
Wow, they aren't even using "Long Live Our State" as the fanfare when the reviewing officer walks up the steps of the Kremlin... They've replaced it with Slavsya, meaning that the parade is probably more Russia-centric.
P.S. Wow, turns out that Yazov isn't in prison, but that he's inspecting the parade. The August Coup happened in 1990, right?
Lol about Yazov. One year later... the 9 May and 7 Nov parades of 1991 must be very interesting to watch.
Yes, the music seems to have lost much of its traditional revolutionary character. It sounds very much like a Putin/Medvedev parade, with emphasis on the army (not like Putin can emphasise anything else).
There seems to be an effort to get the troops to jump up and down less, perhaps to make it more like a German parade (also E/W Germany unified only a month and four days ago).
Well, the Soviets did put more of an emphasis on the Army as well, being the most vital section of the Armed Forces in the terms of national defense.
Well, Russian marching has never really been too appealing to me. Soviet parades appeal to me for the history, the music and the really cool labour demonstrations. If you want marching as the greatest appeal, China's 1999 parade is pretty awesome
I honestly don't know. I've never seen any history of Soviet military parades (perhaps the only source of that is in Russian). At the least, I know that there was a Victory Day parade in 1990.
Igor Kirillov mysteriously disappears at the start of this video!
Also, did the speech from the tribune occur *before* the troop review? I find that very unusual, and also it was Gorbachev instead of Yazov (was it?) who was meant to give it.
The August Coup was in 1991 this parade was in 1990 so Yazov couldn't have been imprisoned and one thing to note Yazov was imprisoned by the new government of Yeltsin after the failed coup.
Yelstin was mayor prior to 1987, in 1987 he was sacked by Gorby due to Yelstin having some sort of dispute with Raisa Gorbachev about her meddling in government affairs. Yeltsin came back with a vengence however, in 1990 he was elected President of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic.
Yes, he had a very high position at the time... He was the Major of Moscow or something... He re-appears in Part 6 chatting with Gorgochov while the head the parade.
