Soviet Leader Leonid Brezhnev's Funeral/Похороны Брежнева

Leonid Ilyich Brezhnev was leader of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics from 1964, till his death on November 10th, 1982. He lead the USSR through its most stable and prosperious time. Under his leadership the Soviet Union reached its highest levels of international prestige, influence, standard of living for the Soviet citizen, law & order, as well as military might. However his leadership was also marked with increased Communist Party corruption, and economic stagnation. When he died he left the Soviet Union in a grave state of long ignored economic stagnation, the reform of which would be left to his successors. Through his ups and downs, Brezhnev is remembered very fondly by older Russians. His funeral was held on November 15th, 1982.

[RedSamurai84]

@SuperSharp20 The name of the song you seek.

[zeldanerd117]

What's that song that starts at 13:33?

[RedSamurai84]

@zeldanerd117 Its Frederic Chopin's "Funeral March".

You seriously need to integrate an English translation feature so that the rest of us who do not speak Russian can understand what is going on throughout the video. Even though the Brezhnev era is attributed to the gradual degradation and fall of the Soviet Union, the events depicted in this video represent essential aspects of Cold War history. Thus, deciphering and fully comprehending these events is essentially a right for mankind considering that the legacy of the Cold War impacts us all.

@tobiasf1 That is the "House of Unions" - Дом союзов

[Kronstadtsuperior]

What is the music the orchestra is playing in the beginning?

[Kregarian]

@KrazyIvantheDIVINE Obviously, Russian is not as widely spoken all around the world as English. Brezhnev's legacy did not only impact the Russian speaking people of the former USSR, but mainly on the citizens of the world at large. So if we want to understand the meaning behind the speeches of Mao or Charles De Gaulle we should learn French & Chinese? Is that the main premise of your point? Perhaps if the Russians did not lose the Cold War we would be speaking Russian. ;-)

[tobiasf1]

are the corpses of all leaders (except Lenin) embalmed? (Or in other words, if they were to be dug up again, would they still be recognisable?)

[KrazyIvantheDIVINE]

@Kregarian Learn russian. Problem solved.

[deathtocapitalism]

@afb3245 Brezhnev's coffin never fell into the grave. It was just a sound of artillery shot.

[viktoruschka]

@RedSamurai84 "In the defence of the homeland" or something like this, it's a known Russian march.

[velikylenin22]

Why is Brezhnev's funeral march-past parade longer? (3 mins. vs 9 mins) Also Andropov and Chernenko's funerals get cut off at the end without completing the parade

[dvorven]

[dvorven]
