  • Josef Dzhugashvili also known under the pseudonym Stalin (stalin means steel - man ;-)) ordered the production of exactly the same propaganda films in eastern block in the same time soon after WW II. This movie should be translated to Russian or Russian film translated to English and you would not notice any difference ;-)))

  • @goodbyelonglive44 24:19...

    WHY WERE THOSE CARS SO BEAUTIFUL!! and now cars are just boring..is it because of cost?

  • @goodbyelonglive44 European constructions are so quality...the ones made in east were crappy and that is why there was no revolutoion in east. Eastern people had very little sense of ideology, the European way of life, influenced by the Roman civilization, especialy architecture that matched industry was one of the main reasons why east devoloped, apart from the schooling system, which is the no.1 reason.

  • @goodbyelonglive44 @6:06 ON THE CONTRARY...Sri Lanka was the first country to make high carbon steel in great amount...see wikipedia...but as Sri Lanka was an island, the methods used in China and India became the methods known to Eurasian world...but Sri Lanka is a not respected now. I respect western people a lot. their Industrial Revolution is the most important revolution of modern man kind.

  • good documentary
