Spitting Images report on the Soviet general election - filmed during Election Special on 11 June 1987 and shown just before the results were announced. Here we have a look at how the polls are doing in the USSR.

My channels are amongst the most prolific from Poland. With almost one film per day, one may be forgiven for thinking I do nothing else but I do have a day job as well. I have produced around 1,000 original films, most in English but also in Polish, French, Italian, Spanish and the occasional hint of German and Hebrew. My big interest in life is travel and history but I have also placed films on other subjects

Please feel free to ask questions in the public area or to comment on things you disagree with. Sometimes there are mistakes because I speak without preparation. If I see the mistakes myself, I make this clear in the text. Please also leave a star rating!

There are a number of films here on the packaging industry. This is because I am the publisher of Central and Eastern European Packaging -- http://www.ceepackaging.com - the international platform for the packaging industry in this region focusing on the latest innovations, trends, design, branding, legislation and environmental issues with in-depth profiles of major industry achievers.

Most people may think packaging pretty boring but it possibly effects your life more than you really imagine!

Central and Eastern European Packaging examines the packaging industry throughout this region, but in particular in the largest regional economies which are Russia, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Ukraine and Austria. That is not to say that the other countries are forgotten, they are not, but obviously there is less going on. However the fact that there are so many travel related films here is not from holidays but from business trips attending trade fairs around the region. Every packaging trade fair is a new excuse to make another film!

FIFA?

[alanheath2]

@Frankiezollo58 No, in FIFA votes are bought (allegedly) whereas the results of Soviet elections were decided upon in advance without bribery (possibly)

@SniperMaske The EU isn't totalitarian or dictatorial. And there are never elections in which one party wins 100% of the seats. In the last EU Parliament election the 'European People's Party' group (conservative) won 264 seats, and the 'Alliance of Socialists and Democrats' group won 185 seats. Other EU appointments are made by elected national governments. Its a union of democratic countries.

Its not an exaggeration at all, it's completely inaccurate.

[spanish111japan]

@Professor6871 Write properly with comas and quit abusing the ', you dumb retard.

[Professor6871]

@spanish111japan 'you read books about the history Soviet Union wich is extinguised' you retard haven't you got spell checker there.

[Professor6871]

@GeneralChoomin Yes and concentration camps were set up firstly by the British during the Boer War in the 1900s. So concentration camps weren't exactly new when the Nasis set them up. I don't understand the point your making? I know the Gulags were created before the Communists came to power in 1917. The Tsarists used to send their dissidents to these Siberian camps.

[Professor6871]

@spanish111japan Millions of people died in them you tool that's why I read about it. Perhaps we should forget about it or the holocaust cos that happened in the past you postmodernist twat.

Its a free country or am I not aloud to read that, perhaps instead I should read Nuts magazine. I have also read about the US's crimes thank you very much and have studied them at university as part of my degree. Don't tell me what to read.

[GeneralChoomin]

@Professor6871 here let me counter it for you. The gulag was not a soviet invention. It was an institution that survived that soviet revolution. It was created to settle Siberia as exploit Siberia's natural resources. This, of course, required millions of people. Since no one actually wants to go to Siberia, all of these people where forced to do it.

This has been going on for hundreds of years. It is not really anything new.

[Petrel2]

25 years after, nothing changed, except the flag.

[spanish111japan]

@Professor6871 You read books about the history of the Soviet Unino, wich is extinguished.

Why not read now about the crimes commited by the United States of America?

It's the new Soviet Union.
