  • che progeamma è?

  • Si tratta di una serie di documentari dal titolo "Ottanta non più ottanta" che Italia 1 trasmise a novembre del 1989, una retrospettiva storica, culurale, politica di ogni anno del decennio che stava per concludersi.

  • very few people know about chernenko

  • You're right! He was top leader of Ussr only for a year and a month (most of which was sadly spent in hospital) but he "governed" Soviet superpower from "behind the scene", directing Brezhnev's policy in the last years when Brezhnev was ailing and almost uncapable to take decisions.

    A comparison can be made between Chernenko and Mons Stanislaw Dziwicsz who was Pope John Paul's personal secretary such as Chernenko was Brezhnev's. Could Chernenko have been a good leader had he be elected younger?

  • Veramente nell' 84' Chernenko non aveva 83 anni, bensì 73 giacchè nacque nel 1911

  • Russia looks grim

  • non l'ho visto ma è un bel filmato

  • Love Chopin's funeral march played by a military band. Does anyone have the complete version?
