Those beautiful commentaries they made are describing the WHOLE city, it's in a really poor condition and when it get's dark, you can easily find problems in any corner of the city litteraly, not only in Karosta.
AND that's really sad, since I'm living in this place for quite a while now, it's really sad to see how life is being sucked out of the city by those freaking corrupted politics... whatever, who cares anyway.
I'm sorry but those comentaries are freakin ridiculous ! "It's a dark place of the whole city, everyone here's buying alcohol, blood is everywhere, it looks terrible..." GIVE ME A GODDAMN BREAK. Most of those people they asked, are a bunch of lunatics, who do know that most of Karostas population are Russians (and if you didn't know, a lot of Latvians have a really bad attitude against Russians) and I bet that they have been in Karosta only once or twice, yet they're still are trying to judge.
As always some people make videos of worst place in some country and then say: " they are poor, have nothing to eat and so on..." Russians left that place so what are you going to do with that place? Nothing- because it costs a lot of money to change that place for good( i mean destroy it).
I'm from Klaipeda and recently I've visited Karosta, so..what I saw it surprised me, I couldn't imagine there was so poor district in Liepaja.. I saw bunch of dirty children in the dump next to one block of flats ant they were searching for metal parts in the broken fridgerator.. Actually I don't like russians, but that day I felt sorry for them that they have to live in that poor district, damn it seemed dangerous!
@bananaLT Oh c'mon, WTF are you talking about. Children are children, they're always doing what they're not supposed to do and yes, since they're childer, it's okay for the, you know, to play on the street and get dirty for some reason, don't talk rubish. AND as a matter of a fact, 90% of Liepaya is in terrible condition not only Karosta and dangerous aswell !

@SMGJohn All the same, both Communism and Capitalism as well as Fascism can destroy human freedom!
Communism don't produce greatness but killing and imprisoned innocent people even loyal communists in prisons and in Kaytan where many Polish army personnels were shot . People were not allowed to do anything they like such as in East Germany.
Capitalism is bad - true but not too bad in some countries!
RIP innocent victims of both hard-line Communism and Fascism.
@DavBlc7 I think you forgot something important....
Communism is a economical economy z_z''
It has nothing to do with the government only the economy. There have been many Communist countries but none have been a true Marxist nation most have been Maoist or Stalinist
@SMGJohn "Communism is a economical economy" .. where has it ever worked? ... without reducing all peoples (except the governing elite) to a uniform state of poverty and sadness1?
@40bcoots Poverty and sadness!? Well first off, it haven't Stalinist and Moaism have actually done well in countries. China went to a developing nation with Communism. Soviet Union was one of the top places on earth to live when it still was Soviet Union.
Soviet Union barely had crime, it was mostly happy people and it was work enough for everyone and everyone had cash, if you compare Soviet to America you find a HUGE difference. America haven't been so peaceful and lovely if you ask me
@40bcoots as your unaware, Japan has the biggest Communist party on the earth! As if not now in a few years it will just grow bigger and bigger and in the end it will end up ruling Japan.
@SMGJohn ..quite right..I am unaware of the size of the communist party there. Why then did Japan spend so much effort in getting back it's stolen people from N.Korea?
@40bcoots What does stolen people have to do with this!? North Korea is a shit state with a fat Dictator called Kim Jong Il and all those generals. North Korea has Communist economy but it's a dictatorship
@SMGJohn .. communism has never been the people's party, except by coercion, deception (lies), murders, executions of dissedents, & inculcate fear into the rest of the pop. There are vids on ytube of ex-kgb ppl who explain the strategy quite clearly.
@40bcoots Yes, your right Capitalism has never been the people's party, except by coercion, deception (lies), murders, executions of dissidents, & inculcate fear into the rest of the population. There are videos on YouTube of ex-FBI people who explain the strategy quite clearly.
@yomom74 The fall of the Warsaw pact is the reason why East Germany had a poor economy later on. The actual fall of the USSR is what caused the problems. While the USSR was up and strong any Soviet state would have the support it needed. The privatization of industries was disastrous. I personally know four Germans who at first preferred to live under Capitalism, but things are not improving and are now regretting the change. The same applies to most of the former USSR.
@yadsik The reactionary coup in the USSR was a terrible thing. We must organize and renew the struggle. Is that not the only worthy thing. I speak from the USA, where our struggle has been ruthlessly suppressed. Yet I will continue to fight according to every means I have for Socialism. Because Socialism is the solution to the Capitalist problem.
@Commiton Some sort of socialism in the USA, while I support such a thing, seem quite difficult currently. Take the issue with the word itself. The average American has no understanding of the term. Everything I hear Fox News spout Obama = Socialist crap, I just should back, I WISH!
'That' is the challenge for American socialists, and do really sympathise because their challenge is larger than any other socialist. First, they must clear Socialism's record, and then instil class consciousness.
@yadsik "any Soviet state would have the support it needed." .. is that why uSSr built the Berlin Wall? so that the west would not get their hands on the 'support' monies, or was to keep the east locked in & not be able to escape to the west? check on ytube how excited east & west berlin was, when the wall came down. For some, at last relatives could finally meet again!
@40bcoots The existence of a West Berlin was completely arbitrary. It was a power outpost of imperialist western countries. No reasonable person would stand by and watch as billions of American dollars went into West Berlin to invite Eastern Germans in, while West Berlin alone would never have been able to support such a strategy. The building of the Berlin Wall was an act of protecting the civil right of the East, and their right to free development and determination.
@yadsik ..interesting stuff on your channel... no enlightened person that I've read has ever condoned communism ... commune-ism, yes; communism, no and fascism, no .... they state that the way to enlightenment / personal advancement is one own's personal responsibility , not the adherence to any political dogma. Even buddha could not have travelled the distances that he did, without 'capitalism'.
"their right to free development and determination." .. yes .. but civil rights to the pop. ..no
@40bcoots Capitalism didn't exist 2500 years ago. The Sangha possesses no private property and is based upon humanist principles.
Who is enlightened or not is something which cannot be determined. Only whether you are or not. Well known Buddhists however, such as His Holiness the Dalai Lama, is a Marxist. As is the well known translator Edward Conze.
Capitalism is essentially the antithesis of Buddhism.
"civil rights to the pop. ..no" To a degree yes, and to a degree, more than the west.
@yadsik .. capitalism started when someone traded one sharp stone for two blunt ones .. ie it started with trading energy / time / goods. It has gone off the rails since then. The Dalai Lama seems to be about 50 / 50 communism vs capitalism ie he's against the way communism has been perpetrated in reality, vs the theory of marxism, the ideal. Maybe that's why he is still not enlightened .. he hasn't fully let go of his baggage. Prayers have no meaning to enlightment. Meditation does. Samaste.
@yadsik "The existence of a West Berlin was completely arbitrary" .. as arbitary as an east berlin.. Uk. USA & USSr carved it up between them. Funny that hundreds of east berliners were shot attempting to escape to the west? I've never read of any west berliner being shot attempting to get to east berlin.
@40bcoots How is East Berlin arbitrary when it is within the country which it belongs to? West Berlin is an imperialist enclave.
If you have achieved a socialist state, and finally can start to develop a better world, the worst thing is for massive amounts of people to start leaving because of selfish desires. People should work together as a community, and the restriction on illegal emigration is justified in the protection of a better future tomorrow, through sacrifice today.
@40bcoots It failed because of the cold war, and that the centre of the capitalist world was not revolutionised. Capitalism is far more painful than the socialism of eastern Europe, look at the amount of famines and exploitation which capitalist agriculture causes world wide.
@yadsik ..Isn't the russian revolution base upon Marxism? The Reds vs the Whites?
So you don't care / have no emotions, when your family is deported with as good as no notice. And when they die, it is all good for the collective. !!!???
@40bcoots Yes, the revolution is. The idea of Siberian exile is a purely Russian phenomena.
The Marxist approach to Penology is not well represented by the USSR. Although the USSR abolished capital punishment under Lenin.
As you can see in Marx's article on the topic, he explained that capital punishment does nothing to crime rates. Anyone who holds a belief in it, including the USSR, ignore statistics.
Look up Marx's article on Capital Punishment & Mr. Cobden’s Pamphlet. February 18th, 1853.
@yadsik "The idea of Siberian exile is a purely Russian phenomena." according to what I read, Siberian exile is a soviet invention, started in the '30's & didn't cease until approx 1960. Why have have capital punishment when one can have slave labour until that person dies of malnurition, but providing slave work in the meanwhile? So much for it being a traditional cultural phenomena.
@40bcoots I didn't answer the question because it's stupid.
You don't realise that Siberian exile was utilised by the Tsarist regime for hundreds of years until the Soviets finally abolished it. Why would Lenin be exiled by the Tsarist regime if it hadn't been invented yet?
You can rant and rave about how the Russians had backwards forms of punishment. I know they do. What does it have to do with anything?
@yadsik ""How would you like if your your family was whisked away to Siberia & never heard of again?"" it's not a stupid question; because that is what happened. So must be a uni student that lives in a world of theory, rather than admit to what actually did happen.
You have your dreams of reducing everyone to the lowest common deminonator.
@yomom74 State Capitalism in the form of Fascism resulted in the Holocaust because the nation would be stronger without the non-German or Italian "leeches." Capitalism currently enslaves over five billion people and results in their exploitation for the benefit of a few.
The purges which you are referring to took place because Joseph Stalin clearly had a mental disorder. It has nothing to do with the nature of Communism or Socialism and is unrelated to Marxist literature and it's practice.
@yadsik Well if the purges have nothing to do with communism (which you are clearly correct in saying that they didn't) then why is it assumed that capitalism is the cause of the state of russians in present day? There are very many other capitalist countries that are doing very well. I believe the present state of Russia is caused more by a weak government than it is a cause of the economic system (Capitalism vs Communism)
@yomom74 The state of Russians is very poor because of the lack of socialization, no socialized health care means the mortality age drops by 7 years, lack of proper education, and centralized economy mean economic problems for the future. The government in Russia is far from weak, it is extremely powerful in fact, and can do what it wishes when it wishes, with the help of it's individualist-capitalist cronies, the mafias. The people have little power, and the state has too much.
@yadsik You mean shock therapies aiming to transitioning from Socialism to Capitalism disregarding the people. Disregarding the people is always bad for the people in any system.
"You mean shock therapies aiming to transitioning from Socialism to Capitalism disregarding the people."
Since when did Capitalism take into account 'people?' Give one example where profit is not the main motive. Capitalism is driven by individual wills, and slaughters the general will. Disregarding the people cannot occur in a Proletariat Revolution because the state IS the people.
@yadsik That is an extreme form of Capitalism I too despise. But while the USSR was curtailing individual freedoms claiming to be the sole representative of "the peole", Germany, France and Britain were building the "Welfare State", where the state took care of most of the basic needs while protected the workers against many abuses. It is that way, socialdemocracy, that I think best for development.
I agree that Liberal Democracies advanced faster, but remember that they are the ones who weren't surrounded on all sides by economic enemies.
Also, consider Britain in 1900 and Russia in 1900. If you chart their advance until 1980 I can guarantee you will see Russia making a far greater improvement.
In fact, I did not support the USSR. Had the USSR followed the plan set out by Marx and Engels, I believe it would have ended up in a different way. That beings said, it is a result of conditions.

But while the USSR was curtailing individual freedoms claiming to be the sole representative of "the peole", Germany, France and Britain were building the "Welfare State", where the state took care of most of the basic needs while protected the workers against many abuses. It is that way, socialdemocracy, that I think best for development.

I agree that Liberal Democracies advanced faster, but remember that they are the ones who weren't surrounded on all sides by economic enemies.
Also, consider Britain in 1900 and Russia in 1900. If you chart their advance until 1980 I can guarantee you will see Russia making a far greater improvement.
In fact, I did not support the USSR. Had the USSR followed the plan set out by Marx and Engels, I believe it would have ended up in a different way. That beings said, it is a result of conditions.

pats tu esi stulba cuka. Cik tev ir gadi, puisit ? Padomju laikos sis rajons bija labs un skaists, un tur vareja staigat jebkura nakts stunda, jo bija kartiba. Paklau, ko es saku, jo es to nevis no kadam gramatam nolasiju, bet biju aculiecinieks.
