This intro inspired me last night to read Animal Farm (in audio, I admit) and then watch the 1954 film adaptation (not so good). It also reminded me of my own links to the soviet union, as in my family tree you can find a soldier under the tzar, as well as a couple of stalinists who lived outside of the soviet union and only heard of Stalin's benevolent treatment of the people. Aside from some weirdos who started "farfetched" rumors about Stalin being a murderer, etc.
Who is the reporter who talks about the ending of the 70 year experiment? Just wondering if he was famous back then or turned famous after that report (after all, they picked that specific report for the intro.
Btw, Peter Robinson should be credited for coming up, at the last minute, with a hawkish line in what was supposed to be a dovish speech. He spent an evening with West Germans, heard what they thought of the situation, and was compelled to write: "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!"
@futuramark no, this movie is based on Frederick Forsyth´s "the day of the jackal", the original movie, was based on Forsyth´s novel was waaay better.
Гениальный фильм, гениальный актер (Брюс Виллис) , спасибо создателям этого фильма, монтаж просто супер, за полтора минуты показать всю историю за 70 лет, на это нужно не просто умение, а энцеклопедическое знание всю историю Союза....
I think this video is about the origin of the soviet union (Lenin, Pervaja Konnaya, the revolution...) and it's death (Gorbachev, Berlin wall's fall...). Such a GREAT state fell in a moment... and then... IMHO )))
this movie is awesome! :) but what the hack is richard gere doin' in it...? :/

Very good but pretty random opening. I mean the Jackal is not about communism just some Russian mobsters.

Pour libérer le pays qu'on enchaîne,
Prêts au combat pour repousser ses ennemis,
Il faut des gars endurcis à la peine,
Chacun pour tous et tous pour un réunis...

Вихри враждебные веют над нами,
Темные силы нас злобно гнетут.
В бой роковой мы вступили с врагами,
Нас еще судьбы безвестные ждут....

Putin allways gives me the idea of a hardcore gangster whenever his face is on tv, and this soundtrack really fits with him.
His own words are that the greatest mistake ever was the fall of Communism.
Mabey we will desire for Communism again this century by the influence of religion.
