MORE ARROGANCE FROM KNOW IT ALLS !!

Excellent, thank you. Russia-United states relations are always fascinating.

Back then, people sold newspapers on the medians of intersections in my county. I remember sitting in the backseat and seeing a guy selling the afternoon edition of the Ft Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel, waving it around, and in gigantic letters: "COUP FAILS - GORBACHEV RESTORED TO POWER". I'll never forget that headline.

These presentation are pretty good. Thank you!

I like Teodor Currentzis. His imagining of Mozart's Requiem is amazing.

Why are you anti-family?

Put a mic on the speaker next time.

Thanks for the breakdown! I have a quick question: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How can I transfer them to Binance?

14:37 Ironically the lecturer her lets the cat out of the bag: Russia does not censor dissenting voices, unlike the mendacious West which has attempted to censor all dissenting voices who are opposed to the use of neo-fascist Azov catspaws and their political apparatus' in Kiev to wage proxy war on Russia and its Ethnic Russian populace in what is now the former Ukraine regions of the Donbas. These mendacious cold war propagandist technicians were injected into "Russian studies" not because they loved Russian culture or literature or had any deep understanding or feeling for the works of such great writhers as Turgenev, but only because that was where ambitious young yuppies of the Cold War breed went in the 1980s if they were going to pursue "soft" degrees in the liberal arts. If you wanted to "serve America" then you were a good loyal appratchik of the US war machine (which, by the way, always had a FIRST USE NUCLEAR POSTURE in Europe, and was the first to develop "tactical" nuclear weapons as part of its first use doctrine - you can still see footage of thes nuclear artillary tests fron the days when teh United Snakes did not even bother to hide their venomous hatred of all mankind behind a facade of liberal "inclusion". No "pro Putin" voices are allowed now in the "land of the free" unlike "Putin's totalitarian Russia," and I will not be at all surprised to see *this* voice silenced by the Professional Managerial Class commissars who control this channel and the indoctrination of these young womens' minds.

Bill’s best book is “Soviet Youth in Asia.”

I gave up trying to define past history on the basis of ideology or religion or economics. It's all psychological the root of the human condition. Its quality of the asshole in command that sets the tone...

Western propaganda

Because Communism doesn’t know how .

The title needs fixing, its the West against Russia not Russia against the West. Its America that needs the change not Russia.

Amazing ...how do they make (dvyeah guitars)sound like balalaika??

Hello Bill Burr.

Meh, told by j e w s. Boy oh boy the schnoz on the that broad in the beginning!

For a much more in depth treatment of this topic, I'd recommend the following video with Dr. Sally Paine: NWC INS Lecture Series -- Lecture 3: "Why Russia Lost the Cold War," Sept. 29, 2020

I think the saddest part of the break-up of the soviet union (Other than the loss of life.) was the destruction of a national unit that could have prevented much headache. I think that the Western powers really short-changed the Eastern ones by not providing enough aid.

Too simple and childish in analysis.

NIKITA COOK-CHEF...!!😄😄🤣😄😄🤣🤣🤣

More lengthy introduction garbage.

8:36 Martin Malia's communism vs human nature argument may have been one of the most pernicious sets of fallacies in history.

I'm sorry Duntsova and her following is not mentioed by either speaker. Actually her style, though seemingly modest, is low profile but not without strength.

I thought this frontman for the CIA would be knowledgeable. My bad.

Excellent presentation of Gorbachov.

If you go to NATO's 2021 communique, it's clearly written that NATO reinvigorates its decision in 2008 to add Ukraine to the alliance. So NATO membership is definitely one of the causes of the war

I stayed at the University Hotel across from the University adopting 4 children

And putin did it, then and now. It looks like their knowledge and understanding of this person and history is not full enough to see the whole picture of this war and putin manipulation. I check this only because her interview in Bloomberg as of 03.29.2024 has changed under new circumstances. As I'm Ukrainian, she is an intelligent woman with deep knowledge but not enough to teach and write a book that does not represent reality and truth.

Funny that no one has read Antony Sutton.

1:21:00 It is very cruel irony. The next day Navalny was killed in the prison... Прости нас, Алексей!

Putin should rightly face trial for treason for his manifold mutilations of the Russian constitution.....

Is China going the same way as the Soviet Union? Answer: yes

I leave @7:46, when this marxist "Professor" insults Ronald Reagan, one of our greatest Presidents

Having lived in Germany 1985-1990 I beginning to Think the Russia won the cold war by playing the long game

Great talk and Q&As but the number one immediate reason for the break-up of the Soviet Union is missed. The state overly depended on the fear of state violence to keep the edifice in tact. And this is linked the first theory posited - that communism runs against human nature. It was Gorbachev's unwillingness to use violence which allowed the state to disintegrate.

Romald Reagan played a key role in the collapse of communism in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union. Also, Gorbachev was no angel - he ordered the murderous repression of protesters in the Baltic states.

What a joke, next to no material analysis, and he calls himself a historian. Not to mention going along with the idea that the break up of the USSR in the 90s was relatively bloodless.. ig over 3 million deaths from shock therapy capitalism is bloodless. He’s ignorant at best and a revisionist at worst. It’s utterly repulsive to not push back on that point in particular, but overall this was a biography of Gorbachev not an analysis of the fall of the USSR.

There was never communism in the Soviet Union!

The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics opened an era of a new type of development of culture and civilization, and its experience in crushing Nazism is invaluable today, in the context of a global conflict, the main front of which has been transferred to Ukraine, believes Professor of Philosophy at the Technical University of Crete Dimitrios Patelis, Candidate of Philosophy. "On December 30, 2022, all progressive humanity celebrates the centenary of the creation of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. The USSR, the fruit of the first early victorious revolution, opened the era of a revolutionary transition to a new type of development of culture and civilization: to a united humanity. This was the triumph of the revolutionary creativity of the oppressed, proven by the example of the USSR "that they can take their destiny into their own hands, emancipate society, begin unprecedented revolutionary transformations, overcoming antagonisms and exploitation, towards a society of solidarity and humanity," Patelis said. In his opinion, the triumphal march of the USSR is associated with the world-historical achievements of man: the fight against illiteracy, the establishment of a number of social benefits, free education, healthcare, medical care, proper rest, the rapid development of the economy, society, science, technology, sports, art and culture . “A titanic feat was the crushing of the anti-Comintern axis by the Soviet Red Army thanks to the self-denial and self-sacrifice of the entire people of the USSR, ensuring the world with nuclear parity, internationalist assistance to the world anti-imperialist movement, as well as primacy in space exploration. A clear example of internationalism is providing access to education in USSR universities to students from different capitalist countries, thanks to which I personally received an excellent education,” the professor noted. What did the Soviet government of the USSR give to the people? 1.The right to an eight-hour working day. For the first time in the world in the history of mankind. 2. The right to annual paid leave. For the first time in human history. 3. The impossibility of dismissing an employee on the initiative of the administration or the owner without the consent of the trade union and party organization. 4. The right to work, to the opportunity to earn a living by one’s own labor. Moreover, graduates of vocational educational institutions had the right to compulsory employment in the labor field with the provision of housing in the form of a dormitory or apartment. 5. The right to free general and vocational education. Moreover, both secondary vocational education and higher education. For the first time in the world. 6. The right to free use of preschool institutions: nurseries, kindergartens, pioneer camps. For the first time in the world. 7. The right to free medical care. For the first time in the world. 8. The right to free sanatorium and resort treatment. For the first time in the world. 9. The right to free housing. For the first time in the world 10. The right to protect the state from the arbitrariness of local bosses and officials. For the first time in the world. 11. The right to free travel to the place of work or study using an individual travel document paid for by the state. For the first time in the world. In addition, women had the right to a number of additional benefits: 1. The right to three years of maternity leave with job retention. (56 days - fully paid, 1.5 years - benefits, 3 years - without interruption of service and a ban on dismissal from the administration.). 2. The right to free foster care for a child for up to one year. 3. The right to a free dairy kitchen for newborns up to three years of age. 4. The right to free medical and sanatorium-resort treatment for any childhood diseases. There was nothing like this in any country in the world and there could not even be a trace of it. Some social benefits in foreign countries began to appear only after the Second World War as a result of a powerful labor movement caused by the existence on the planet of the Soviet state, the State of Workers and Peasants. Citizens of the USSR had much more rights than Americans or Germans! But those don’t have them today, and don’t expect them to. In addition, in the USSR cross-subsidization made payments for utility services symbolic. When setting prices for certain goods in the USSR, they were primarily based on their social significance. Therefore, meat and meat products, milk and dairy products, and many varieties of fish and fish products were sold below cost and at constant prices. Children's clothing and shoes, textbooks for schools and universities, toys, notebooks and other writing materials, medicines, cotton fabrics and many other goods were sold at a loss. State subsidies for these purposes amounted to tens of billions of rubles annually. The state partially covered its losses through high prices for jewelry, natural furs and other luxury goods, and alcoholic beverages. But the main source of subsidies is the profits of state-owned enterprises. By spending a significant portion of the profits of its enterprises on subsidies, the state covered its losses. Losses in favor of the consumer!

Tries to be funny but is not!

It collapsed because communism sucks

Predicting the fall of the USSR: Alexandr Solzhenitsyn and Helene Carrere d'Encause. Very disappointed, Mr. Taubman ...

Gorbie was not a killer , the reason why he lost...

Prof. Taubman knows his subject👍 Thank you .
