Why is there political discussion here? ITS A CLASSIC SOVIET FUCKING SONG FOR FUCKS SAKE! How would you like it if I got to Marlyn Monroe video and start talking about Cuban missile crisis. I dont get, did all americans think that Soviet Union was just bears riding on bicycles on red square with Stalin pictures? DUMB FUCKS! Just enjoy the song and SHUT THE FUCK UP ALREADY, FAGGOTS.
Guys you can go fuck yourself it's a song...if you want to decide anything about USA vs USSR/Russia go chat somewhere else. Thank you for your support. Суки блят заебали. Хуй вам в рот блат. Its an awesome movie assholes.
I remember, because the Soviet Union invaded in Avganistan, USA baykotirovali Olympics. At the same time when the U.S. got into this godforsaken avganistan, they did not think to give up any games. I do not think that the empire of goodness with something better than the USSR
And for us as a pity that the Soviet Union collapsed, the way your country is arranged (the U.S. and Britain). Have we been bad? The USSR had no colonies, the main idea was to "freedom of the oppressed, " such as American Indians or Vietnamese (there were errors). And the U.S., whom they brought benefits? Iraq, Libya, Vietnam, Japan , Yugoslavia?
When criticising the Soviet Union, people seem to forget the widespread poverty, racism and discrimination that was commonplace in the USA . Although in all reality the world is better off without the USSR it is unfair to cast it as an axis of evil when the USA's track record is anything but clean!
@sailingforde04 men stop talking like that! You lived in the better side of the world and you can know this history only from books. USSR was the worst evil on the world.
@sailingforde04, add to that awful US-style racism and segregation that existed well into the 1970s. When a marriage of a white woman and black man equated to a sentence in prison.

I never tought that i would sa this, but I actually think that the old russian singers were really good. I couldn't say the same about the russian singers today. Cheers from Latvia.
@TubeofDestiny USSR had the more potatoes on plate than any country in the world. Production of potatoes per person was a two times bigger than in USA, where it was largest in western world. Russian never sold nuclear warheads to any country. Russia never sold missiles to Iran. USA sold much more weapons to persian gulf countries. Journalist were never killed in UsSR in back. In USA a lot of them were killed. Leaders never stole wealth from people, people didn't allow to have wealth from workers
@AlexanderTch Haha, you're really funny. You're describing the "dreamed" USSR, the "perfect" communism system, but that's no what happened at all. About the food, I bet you think the Holodomor never existed, it must be fake, a CIA propaganda, am I right ? Same with the massive grains imports, the poor harvests and inefficiency of the collective farms. Fake. CIA. "Journalist were never killed in UsSR in back" => haha, seriously ? ooh, you're talking about the executions ? sure, not in the back :)
@Drezdenn if you say so... it wasn't that bad sure, and it was better than under the Tsar or during the early days of the revolution, but if it was that good, why building the Berlin Wall and using the Iron Curtain to prevent populations to migrate to the West side ? Why there wasn't millions of people moving to the USSR side to enjoy that "great country to live" ? And no, US propaganda wasn't that powerful, it wasn't "controlling" everyone.
@TubeofDestiny US propoganda is the same like USSRs. It controls everyone! just use another methods. but this methods works even better. USSR people cant leave USSR just because they could like western style of life with porn corn and shwarznegger. this is it. USA is not the best! people in africa live like they can, why do you think they need your culture? Why we, slavics need your culture? we dont need it.
@AlexanderTch "Leaders never stole wealth from people" =>so how can you explain that the top members of the Party were living a luxury life (cars, women, fine food & wine, big houses), while the workers were struggling to get a decent apartment for their big family ? How can you explain that, when the USSR fell, all the important factories/oil plants went immediately to these same top members ? Coincidence ?
You're denying reality, because reality sucks and truth hurts - it's kinda sad for you.
@TubeofDestiny While the USSR was hardly an ideal country it was certainly better than many other countries. They were not starving, and many reports from people living in the former Soviet republics today reveals that most of the people wish the USSR was still around. The quality of life has gone down significantly since the dissolution, but is slowly getting better. The collapse of the USSR is attributed more to poor leadership than a total failure of communism.
@EdTheBadass In Soviet Union poverty was virtually non existed. You were not ALLOWED to be poor, you were not allowed not to work unless you had a very good reason to (eg. disability)
@EdTheBadass I was born in the soviet union too (although I'm not originally from any of the Soviet countries, my great-grandparents where both immigrants there). So did my whole family. And what I said still stands. Poverty in soviet union was virtually non existent. I don't like communism (i don't like capitalism either if that matters) but at least the few things that actually were good have to be said.
@OrangeD00D not everyone was starving, but the QoL was below other countries. Most people wish the USSR was still here because at that time the USSR was a worldwide super-power and wasn't collapsing. Of course the collapse wasn't triggered by the theoretical communism, we're talking about the USSR, not the communism here. And the QoL didn't get better because the clans who were ruling the USSR stayed at the key positions in the gov and kept on pillaging, "democracy" changed little to nothing :/
thanks for the info dude. i sure am gonna watch it. until recently i believed the soviet union was an evil place..and then i started seeing these videos. now i feel like i've been deceived by the dirty western media.
Dear perkunas 1410, we, Hungarian people, had to feed 100.000 Soviet soldiers from 1957 to 1991 since Hungary was an occupied territory. When they went away (at long last) they stole everything movable. Thanks a lot! Life is much more better without your USSR! Although old Russian films (and culture in general) are great, no doubt.
This is a beautiful, happy, life-affirming movie and song, which doesn't really call for political discussion. I consider it a greater classic than the classics of American cinema of the same time period, most of which are frankly, gangster films, or cult classics.

Too bad propaganda and iron curtain didn't let other people in the USA and Western Europe see what was the upside of soviet era! Propaganda is a scary thing, and no country is free from it, especially west!
@levthelion1 I agree, cinema in socialist countries was brilliant. Being a talented Actor or Director in the USSR was encouraged, state funding was always given to film companies so that the best quality could be achieved. If you like cinema in the USSR I recommend checking out some of the great films made East Germany 1950-1989, they were great also.
Don't let fool yourself. Life in USSR was good, interesting and very secure. The way it is presented now in the media, especially western, is capitalist propaganda. Those fat cats really affraid that it might come back and strike them.
I was ten when it all collapse and what can I say. I wish everyone could have such a lucky childhood as I had.
Tell that to the Poles, Hungarians, Ukranians, Russians, Lithuanians, and countless others who suffered inhuman abuse at the hands of the bastard communists. You may have had a good childhood because your daddy was a high ranking communist, but the VAST majority of people suffer under communism. It is the worst economic system in human history. The fat cats of the soviet union were much worse than any capitalist fat cat. Our propaganda is called truth, something a communist knows nothing about.
@Scoutrussp7 You just proved my point, your dad was a army officer so that is why you had a "good" childhood. So you are telling me 10 million Hungarians that starved to death from a communist 5 year farming plan were all thiefs, criminals, tratiors etc. How about the millions sent to the gulags for the most trivial offenses. The people who were forced to work on public construction jobs till they dropped dead. Those are just some of the murdered, not to mention the LOW quality of life for most.
@Scoutrussp7 So that means that the millions killed before 1956 dont matter? You know why you cant find anyone, because soviet control of the media would never let a mechanic or someone else complain on record. And if you mean you cant personally find a soviet mechanic who had a low quality of life there are 2 possibilites. 1 you are so blinded by soviet lies you dont know what a good quality of life is, or 2 you were lucky enough to be in the microscopic minority of people with a good life.
@Scoutrussp7 I thank GOD I dont live in a socialist state (yet, obama is trying). I am however Polish, and Italian so I have family who lived under fascism, and communism. Both were awful to the people living under it. Besides even if I didnt have first hand accounts, Looking at the economic devastation that communism has caused to the countries that had it, is enough evidence that socialism = low quality of life, especially communism. Where is this 90% number coming from? 90% of your family?
lol what's doing in your list Italian guy who lived under fashism I don't know, we don't care about fashits.
I bet that polish dude had a counter-revolution mind. Has he been a member of communist party? If not, it means that he were not alowed to join (he was low-educated, had bad reputation or something, bad people were not allowed to join it)
How can you know if you have not lived in the USSR? You are the victim of Western anti-communist propaganda. Not all of course there was perfect, but personally I would prefer to live in the USSR than in the modern capitalist Russia. And believe me, the vast majority of the population of Russia and the former Soviet Union thinks like me. All are tired of the filth and injustice that comes with the West.
@SirithHeruwen Certainly, it was better than it is now. It was better approximately in 214% - 856% for the most of people. You see the life of the Soviet people in 1970-s. If you have one eye at least and a brain.
By the 1980s it was clear that communists had failed to deliver high standards of living. Most people of the USSR and Eastern Europe were much poorer than the people of Western Europe.
Furthermore, by the 1980s Soviet farming had failed. And the gap between communist and capitalist economies had been growing.
Under the leadership of Brezhnev the Soviet union moved away from the idea of fairness and equality and corruption prospered. Soviet economy sucked dick.
@SirithHeruwen 2. Second post (Funny - I explain to the author!) you tried to say - that now is worse, then it was. ( farming had failed,..bla-bla).
You do not understand your own sick logic. You are not healthy. Has your mum enough money to treat you? Americans have landed on the Moon, and Europeans have constructed the tunnel under the sea, but you have no attitude to it. As you are an idiot.
@SirithHeruwen Altruism and common sense shouldn't even be used in the same sentence as the USSR. If anything, the USSR was an experiment to see whether ideology and nationalism can prevail over common sense and human nature.
If the Soviet leadership had any common sense, they would have never abandoned NEP back in the 20s. Perhaps then the USSR would still be around.
@Kiarip Life is both good and bad for all people in all countries. Some might be worse than others, but hey, it's chance. Some had it better, some had it crummy.
@perkunas1410 in a shop with fish very often was no fish. and u stand in long line to buy it. and u ask shop assistant ''give me that other fish'' she: ''all fishes are the same'' u :''so , give me other if same'' . she : '' i wont . other people waiting--dont make trouble'' u: '' but i want different one'' she:'' no.why u dont like this?'' so on.
@martpast1 If there were no fishes, how would the shop assistant be able to give you a fish to argue about?
Wouldn't it occur to you that you could do other stuff besides wait in line for that car? Or do you have problems with your brain?
If both company A and B are selling, I don't know, candy bars, and you buy one from company A, you're still getting a candy bar. If they're different flavors, your argument isn't applicable, since they're supposed to be the same.
@MaoiMeowi2 some Americans have problems--they actually are very often like some Russians.
-u stood to buy fish when it was--very often it wasnt -so u didnt stand then. -u didnt stand in a line for a car like for fish--u just waited doing something else-but annoying was that u had all the money ALREADY but couldnt buy AT ONCE. candy bars lie on shelves all same-same weight, packed so on.
but fish is used to be though same kind but different sizes and looks. so if I see a bigger fish and
@MaoiMeowi2 as for fish--i say again. i ask her give me this and she gives the other.And sometimes cheat with money. and there is very small choice in socialist shop. and bad quality . and u go into shop with food and u see only vinegar-because shop is empty. and no bread in bakery-she says :they 'll deliver in 3 hours. and bread is like ...peace of... and dresses are ugly and greyish . and shoes fall apart in 2 weeks and
@martpast1 ...no...doesn't happen like that. You buy fish per pound (or, I suppose, in your case...kilogram?). Seeing as I'm a guy, I couldn't care less about dresses (in all honesty, I prefer girls with miniskirts, and the color doesn't matter).
Buses don't come late...
This has never happened to me, seeing as this government I live under is part Socialist (there go any dreams you have of visiting the US, if any, I suppose). I was saying that if it wasn't for Socialism, that would happen.
@MaoiMeowi2 im talking about "communist countries" --about how it was really when they have something that was called "socialism". i described it--and u say that it isnt like this--have u been in 1970-89 in European socialist block of countries?
@martpast1 No, I haven't. Would I have? Yes (most applicable people say they had a good life in the USSR). Although I wasn't old enough, and even if I was, my nationality would have created a lot of problems.
If you bought fish by amount of product, you got ripped off. You should have bought it like you buy fruit...or meat...you did buy those by weight, correct?
@martpast1 Mm hm...all the countries you lived in were either in the Soviet Union or influenced by it...and therefore Socialism always happens like that?
I think you missed my point. Without Socialism, you'd be bitching about Capitalism. It's not the system that's bad, it's your attitude.
@MaoiMeowi2 dont U understand that only one system that I saw until the end of socialism was socialism? so now I can compare.i live in UK. I see some relatively weak points also here.But in all life is too much better.if U r in the USA--I suppose big problem is health care system--here its like socialist one. and bad quality food is crime offence in UK. Could U feel the blues ?-- i am not inventing that something is bad. British cant make film like this one.
@martpast1 Yes...I do...but isn't the UK partly Socialist? From what I've seen, any country that discourages Socialism...the only one nowadays being the US...is still stuck in the Dark Ages, where instead of the state having absolute control, religion unofficially does. So there really is no difference.
No problems with health care, or at least none that I can see, since I never have anything serious wrong with my body.
@MaoiMeowi2 i think that in USA U pay fantastic money for curing teeth thats why millions of Americans dont go to stomatologist for years-i heard-true? or not?
@martpast1 I was talking about the fish you said you got ripped off with.
The food here gives you health problems, is what I was saying...shittier than the rest of the world.
Hm? Like...brushing your teeth? It doesn't cost so much, just enough for a tooth brush and tooth paste. A stomatologist is a dentist, correct? I don't think that's the reason, but it would make sense that they don't see the dentist, since a lot of people here have disgusting mouths.
@MaoiMeowi2 USSR was country where all the time they spoke: USA are rotting , on TV they showed protesters=unemployed. against government. but my mother asked: why they unemployed of USA are better dressed than we employed?
@MaoiMeowi2 In the USSR they very rear showed bad things about their country. no killing, no robberies on TV. no protesters on TV.all the people were afraid because during Stalin they put millions into prisons just because neighbour informed against neighbour. INFORMATION WAS BLOCKED.--They mostly showed such optimistic films and informed about harvesting around the country=how it went in collective farms.
@MaoiMeowi2 when BBC was giving information against communists on radio --they had such machines near the boarders that produced noise--U couldnt hear the program--only zzzzzzz.
@martpast1 I don't think I understand you properly...are you saying there are lines miles long for bananas and oranges constantly in the UK, and there weren't long lines to buy fruit in the USSR? Or the other way around?
@martpast1 I've heard different things from different people. The majority of people who lived in the USSR said they had a good life. Maybe you were constantly wanting what you didn't have? Your mother too. Besides, here, the unemployed get welfare checks (Socialism). That would explain why they weren't/aren't in rags.
You're 49, correct? That means you were born some time past 1960. Stalin died in 1953. You have no experience with that.
@martpast1 That's because Soviet citizens had no reason to murder each other.
What makes you think pro-Communist propaganda wasn't blocked in the US? You know, in the 50's, a lot of people died because they were accused of being Communists. Rather hypocritical, in my opinion. They accused the people of not believing in free speech, so they kill them.
@MaoiMeowi2 i know this. but i feel that U dont understand the difference. before any more talking--read Solzhenitsyn "The Gulag Archipelago" on line - a little. very vivid book. and only after that is sense to speak.
@martpast1 What difference? Capitalists kill for money, Socialists kill for country, and Communists kill for the good of everyone else. No matter what happens, people are going to kill people. There's no escaping it.
@martpast1 What's bad about America? Oh, racism, class conflict, Hollywood propaganda, financial problems (for the nation), egotistic, self-righteous liberals like Onision, loud, fear-mongering, bloodthirsty conservatives like Glenn Beck, a low national IQ, obesity, homophobia, shemales thinking they're better than everyone else, and whatever else I forgot.
@MaoiMeowi2 U r saying about general state problems. i ask about(personally for U): problem with food buying, renting a room, criminals attack, no money to go to doctor, freedom of speech--can U tell local administration that they are corrupted or so.
@martpast1 You show problems you had with the Socialist system you lived in, but then when I tell you the problems with Capitalism, you want me to tell you my personal problems? Personal problems have nothing whatsoever to do with ideology.
@MaoiMeowi2 not personal private problems but problems that U AND PEOPLE LIKE U have in everyday economic life and relations with lowest administration and between themselves--like "when i ,white man, walk--black kids throw stones on me" or vice versa / just what i told about Soviet life--but U ABOUT USA NOW. please
@martpast1 Well, I'm white, and, somewhat stereotypically, live in a predominantly white area. There are a few blacks here, though. From what I've seen, there is a lot more racism targeted at blacks. Also, I have been assaulted by a feminist for, from what I could gather, walking in front of a "womyn's" (their spelling of "women", because they think they're better than men) area, or something. Right, and there is no better representation of class separation than high school.
@MaoiMeowi2 so --in USSR it was almost not existing -i mean racial problems. also too few black people . but still i heard --black people were called "apes" sometimes. also Jews prefer to be Russians.
@martpast1 So, you say, under Socialism, there is LESS racism, then? Also, I thought Jews prefer to be in Israel.
There is, as you put it, "mennism" here as well, especially in the poorer, crazy conservative, white trash trailer parks. Under Socialism, both genders are equal.
@martpast1 Practical examples of what, specifically? People crushing other people for their own benefit? Well, you've got high school, where a kid can beat the shit out of one of his classmates for popularity, where girls who were once friends spread rumors about each other to make themselves seem better, and of course, this would be solved by corporal punishment (representing gulags). That's as simple as it gets.
@martpast1 Yeah...the only difference between Capitalism and Socialism, aside from the placement of power, is that Capitalism's problems make exciting movies.
@MaoiMeowi2 true--socialism made movies how people loved each other, helped,heroically fought fascism, civil war--how bad were enemies and good bolsheviks.
@martpast1 Because I don't know whether that's a title or author, and if it's an author, assuming he or she wrote more than one book, I wouldn't know which you'd want me to read.
@MaoiMeowi2 U TRY to guess--but most words are ok. go only to really interesting places. and there is better translater for words--open one more google and find eng-rus dictionary,rich one nevme...--that cant hold all mass of something or rather=that can not be placed
@martpast1 The only one that holds the connection is the one with the rough translation. Using any other one, I'd lose my patience after translating, word by word, a couple sections.
I do know about gulags, though. Similar to Nazi concentration camps, with similar treatment. What was he arrested for, though?
@martpast1 Yeah, and the translation still isn't so well. It even has some Russian words in it, like Nevmeschaemoye, which apparently don't have literal translations.

I don't like communism (i don't like capitalism either if that matters) but at least the few things that actually were good have to be said.

@OrangeD00D not everyone was starving, but the QoL was below other countries. Most people wish the USSR was still here because at that time the USSR was a worldwide super-power and wasn't collapsing. Of course the collapse wasn't triggered by the theoretical communism, we're talking about the USSR, not the communism here. And the QoL didn't get better because the clans who were ruling the USSR stayed at the key positions in the gov and kept on pillaging, "democracy" changed little to nothing :/

Dear perkunas 1410, we, Hungarian people, had to feed 100.000 Soviet soldiers from 1957 to 1991 since Hungary was an occupied territory. When they went away (at long last) they stole everything movable. Thanks a lot! Life is much more better without your USSR! Although old Russian films (and culture in general) are great, no doubt.

This is a beautiful, happy, life-affirming movie and song, which doesn't really call for political discussion. I consider it a greater classic than the classics of American cinema of the same time period, most of which are frankly, gangster films, or cult classics.

Tell that to the Poles, Hungarians, Ukranians, Russians, Lithuanians, and countless others who suffered inhuman abuse at the hands of the bastard communists. You may have had a good childhood because your daddy was a high ranking communist, but the VAST majority of people suffer under communism. It is the worst economic system in human history. The fat cats of the soviet union were much worse than any capitalist fat cat. Our propaganda is called truth, something a communist knows nothing about.

The people who were forced to work on public construction jobs till they dropped dead. Those are just some of the murdered, not to mention the LOW quality of life for most.

Naive douche.
By the 1980s it was clear that communists had failed to deliver high standards of living. Most people of the USSR and Eastern Europe were much poorer than the people of Western Europe.
Furthermore, by the 1980s Soviet farming had failed. And the gap between communist and capitalist economies had been growing.
Under the leadership of Brezhnev the Soviet union moved away from the idea of fairness and equality and corruption prospered. Soviet economy sucked dick.
