I am citizen of Moscow and the angle from which the British showed Moscow in 65s is magnificent 👏
"Citizen of Moscow", heh. Of course, Moscow is an independent state within Russia, just like the Vatican in Italy. That is why the Moscowites are commonly disliked and distrusted in Russia. Foreigners, greedy and arrogant.
@@amenhotepavoskin1307 Way of living is 100 times much better in Moscow in comparison with other Russia. But Moscow can’t be compared just even with the European or American villages living standards. Nowadays, it’s awful. Real (not nominal) average Moscow salary is 100-200 dollars per month, because of enormous taxes (80% of all the earnings). Also, many people of Russia are trying to move to Moscow (hunger and terrible economic situation in Russia) for a permanent living, so dozens of scary slums were built for them in last 5-6 years what caused a lack of space. Moscow citizens have problems with dangerous dirty water, rats, urina and crap on the streets and halls of a condos, lack of electricity, dirty (I mean the real dirt, as on swamps, not the dust) and crowded streets (because of provincial moving to the city), old and dangerous soviet condos (and they much better than a new slums!!!!), hundreds thousands of migrants from Caucasus and Asia (terrible crime situation and ethnic crisis, Russians hate them), hundreds thousands of homeless who are always “on a high”. Also Moscow has one of the biggest traffic jams (because of corruption) and highest parking price (just on the streets, it’s unbelievable to pay for it, because people have been parking for free for decades, and 1 hour of parking on the street cost 5 dollars, just don’t forget about the salary of 100-200 dollars). Also there are a lot of problems with food (it’s so expensive, 50% of citizens couldn’t afford just a food, they don’t eat meat, they eat only something you can compare to food for animals, and because of foreign sanctions, Russia has no it’s own factories). It’s awful, dirty and overcrowded place for living. Everything you could see in the centre of a Moscow is just a huge propaganda vail, nothing more. Many of people couldn’t just afford to be in the centre because of extremely expensive parking on the streets and public transport. All the persons unwanted by the government to be seen by tourists are taken away to the prison (beggars, protesters, picketers e.t.c). Russian couldn’t just even say the words of a protest somewhere, instead of TH-cam, that life there is awful and it’s all because of the government and corruption. For that words he/she could be sent to the prison or killed somewhere......

This was when Soviet Union was at their peak Power... 60's, 70's were very good in USSR.. then in Late 80s everything went downhill
Soviet Union didn't opened its economy like China or Vietnam, it was matter of time to stagnate. Lenin knew it, that's why he put on track the NEP (New Economic Policy) similar to China, but future leader didn't follow that.
@@marcorivera8071 The US similarly began to bend in the 80s. The whole point is. that cheap oil and coal were running out. The cost of production began to grow. Therefore, in 10 years, China will stop developing. He'll run out of cheap coal. The United States after the 80s survived only thanks to the looting of Russia after the collapse of the USSR. Russia still pays tribute to the United States. But this is coming to an end and Americans will face a monstrous downturn in the economy. It will be 100%.
blame gorbechav and yeltsin
Few things - Afghan War, Gorbachev reforms, and ofc, none other than Boris Yeltsin
@@marcorivera8071 It was revisionism that ruined their economy
“They are sacrificing today for a better tomorrow” I wish the world was like this..
Trust me, you don’t. Look at the USSR, the way it was and the way it turned out
@@ivan.gryazin I’m Russian. I know.
The problem was that they were ''sacrificing and sacrificing'' but better tomorrow didn't come. In 1965 Soviet Union was most likely the closest to Western standard of living than it ever were later.... or maybe it was the beginning of 70s, but later it went downhill
@@lkrnpk i think in the collective memory, when perestroika i glasnost started in the 1980s, the corruption really took hold and destroyed all chances of the better tomorrow, as well as the sacrifices of past. One can argue that the 1980s destroyed a lot of social programs in the world, especially under the Reagan and Thatcher sphere of influence. It was just amplified in USSR because of the level of corruption.
I think that real problem was that they sacrificed other nations and other countries. If Russia wants to live like that again, fine, but brutally occupying other nations and push it's ideology is not right. It is terrible.
Actually, this is strange. Britain is the most ferocious rival of Russia and such non-political and happy footage of USSR during the Cold War on British TV seems like something extraordinary.
Not really Churchill and Stalin were close friends
@@user-mf5ue6rc5n ты смешон
Why would a newsreel about a cultural exchange program, despite the cold war, take on a hostile tone? They are guests in Moscow, it would be bad manners to be belligerent about it.
@@user-mf5ue6rc5n No they weren't
Ive never seen such nice footage of the ussr and russian people during those peak cold war years i dont even know who to believe anymore!!!!
From what I can understand, Capitalism is better for everyone when economy is growing and Socialism is better when economy is in bad shape. The opposite applies for the opposite circumstances. Because in Socialism in USSR they were poor but nobody left homeless or hungry. Meanwhile in Capitalism in USA when it peaked (late '70s) a growing number of homeless and hungry people appeared while others were filthy rich.
@@shrek_has_swag2344 Yes that happened because of the instant turn from agriculture to industrial age. I'm not here to support any of the economic systems. Both have their benefits and some HUGE flaws.
@@shrek_has_swag2344 Productive farmers? They were the slave owners. Ofcourse they were productive. They weren't paying anything.
@@shrek_has_swag2344 We can agree for the false labeling on no real Kulaks as Kulaks and for their treatment (deportations and executions). But the society before Bolsheviks were based on Kulaks and their slaves. Ofcourse now popular opinion suggests them as just land owners with paid employees (if just food can be called payment).
@@shrek_has_swag2344 that wasa only in 1920s and 30s afterwards it was all good.
Sooo refreshing to see Western footage actually showing the USSR for what it is, and not some damned aliens!!

It's Moscow.
Also with the Beautiful Churches the Reds almost destroyed.
@@robertortiz-wilson1588 They didn't. They had anti-religious campaigns, but they weren't too much against religion. Most of USSR according to Soviet consensus was still religious, and once in the Second World War, Stalin invited the Orthodox Church Heads for some important meeting.
@@shubhnamdeo2865 I said, almost destroyed. The Soviets did desecrate and destroy many Churches, there were even some calling for the destruction of all of them, including the beautiful ones still seen in Moscow in the video in the early days. That was stopped once the people started revolting too much on the issue. So there was just widescale persecution, and anti-religious campaigns instead. Outside of big beautiful historical Church buildings in the big cities, others were still periodically destroyed elsewhere in the country. Stalin’s anti-religious campaign was very explicit and violent until the Soviet Union was invaded. Then he had to get something to actually rally the people instead of communism, so brought back to Orthodox Church leaders and nationalism. A few years after the war, he began to seriously cracking down again before dying. Khrushchev did the same but far less deadly and violent, at least in comparison, then it gradually began to lesson as time went on and people continually gave up on the regimes core ideology.

LOL at 2:09. "How do these mysterious human beings live, we wonder? They breathe, they talk, they walk, they eat, they shop. Truly a spectacle to behold!" I'm just glad he deigned to grant the Soviets the title of "human beings." Western propaganda was so weird back then...
It’s just that nobody knew about life in the USSR. We just think about the government, how powerful it was, and how it treated its people, which translates its people to be tough and not having any feelings...sort of. That’s why he put it like that
They knew to make movies back then. I love their ability to pair music with video.
it's funny to listen to when gentlemen from the upper class come to the USSR in suits made of the most expensive fabrics specially made to order before the trip to "shock" the proletarian public ... and those gentlemen are trying to ridicule the simple and unpretentious clothes of Soviet citizens who came just to relax in the park and were not going to impress the English "lords", many of them came from distant cities and villages for a weekend or vacation. That isn`t very nice, although in the spirit of the Western propaganda. The authors of the film could, for comparison, show the London or Nottingham slums of those years and how posh people dressed there and what gorgeous toys the children of workers play there, who do not even know what it is to have heating or hot water in a house.
I am from Kharkiv City, from east Ukraine🇺🇦. My country was once occupied by the Soviet Union, so I know perfectly well that these videos are nothing more than a show for tourists. More or less normally only Moscow residents lived in the USSR, and not all of them. The vast majority of the population of the USSR lived in poverty, had no right to their own opinion and even their own housing (housing belonged exclusively to the state), also citizens USSR constantly been oppressed and repressed by the totalitarian government, which everyone had to praise because otherwise they could be arrested and even executed.
@@faidh8 and by the way. the standard of living of workers in modern Kharkov is many times worse than it was in Soviet times. People have no money to pay for heating and gas. No work. on the streets, beggars rummage in dumpsters, medical assistance is not available, and there are no basic medicines in pharmacies. And most importantly, there is no freedom. Veterans who fought against the Nazis are dying of hunger and do not have the opportunity to lay flowers at the monuments of their heroes, because fascists - are your heroes, veterans are simply beaten if they wear their military uniform. People are afraid to express their opinion in their native language, if you are against killer Bandera, then the nationalist thugs simply beat you up. Youth with a fascist swastika arrange torchlight processions. The country is in ruins. Industry has been destroyed, you are bombing your own cities, killing women and children, robbing - is this now called freedom? That what remains of the enterprises belongs to foreign companies and banks. Even black soil is exported abroad, and the peasants are begging. This is the Ukrainian modern reality. And you still dare to lie on the Soviet Union.
@@allaseremetova4257 Stupid Kremlin tales from Nazi Moscowia (with Vlasov's Nazi flag - tricolour🇷🇺) to make the zombie population of Moscowia proud of their military aggression against Ukraine. All you have is Kremlin's TV propaganda. It is immediately obvious that you have never been to Kharkiv or Ukraine in general, that is why you are writing this delusion. Heal your brains from the Nazi propaganda of the Kremlin now, because if be late - your Nazi country will end its existence as the Third Reich ended its existence.
@@faidh8 say no to drugs
@@faidh8 It's so funny when a Kharkivite who has barely lived, I think, even a couple of decades in the USSR starts telling everyone how people lived not only in Moscow, but in the rest of the USSR as well. And it's not for you, with your blatant nationalist rhetoric, to talk about Nazi flags over the Kremlin. So it's you the one who should rather "heal his brains" from the propaganda of Kiev, which sows hatred and enmity in your heads and protects the blood money of Kolomoysky, Akhmetov and the rest of their gang.
The USSR was the first country in the world where the working day was 8 hours. Many capitalist countries made concessions to their workers, so that the revolution did not take place in them. While women fought for their rights in the West, the USSR became the first country where women were equal in rights with men. This is truly a great country.
My family and our friends with Nostalgia remember those times!

Yes, although I did not find Moscow in the 1960s, but I like it more like this.

The USSR was underrated.
Stalin's USSR is quite overrated, only the bad parts. The good parts of the USSR, ie the late 50s to the early 80s (Kruschev to Brezhnev) is underrated indeed

This is very interesting. Having been a capitalist most of my life, I'm now disgusted at homelessness and the amount of food and other products that people buy and then throw away. Surely it would be better to meet in the middle somehow, however almost all politicians are self serving - so that will be difficult to achieve. Now I find myself gaining interest into a society where the basics are shared so that no-one can be homeless. what a tragic narrative we now live in.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard a more compassionate, yet strikingly accurate way of describing the Soviet Union as what this man said here: “This is a country that sacrificed today, for an ambitious tomorrow.”
And I don’t mean to say this puts the Union in a positive light, mind you. This phrase works both ways.

Socialism does not make countries poor. 1980s - 1990s Russia was only economically crushed because it was forced to devote 3/4th of its budget to military arms. But without such obligation, people will be fed, happy, and satisfied. Like in this video.
I’m glad there are people in the West that are aware of it. It’s important to have a critical thinking and not be fully brainwashed by modern western propaganda
exactly! socialims is most effective economic doctrine! it was clearly seen during ww2. people talking about communism and don't understand it...
I would say the war on Afghanistan bankrupted the ussr
Russia was not forced to spend 3/4 of its budget on the military. The leadership chose to spend that money, to maintain their system and rule over other countries, e.g. the Central Asian republics, and to oppose the western countries with nuclear and other weapons. Everywhere there has been socialism there has been hardship and dictators: Russia/USSR with Stalin, China with Mao, North Korea with the three Kims, Cambodia with Pol Pot, even Cuba and Venezuela. Socialism in Russia and China has been paired with imperialism, i.e. dominating neighbouring countries. In the 1980s the impression I have of Russia is that people were fed up with that system, and even the leading members of the Communist Party did not believe in it any more. No one had any incentive to keep it going, so it collapsed.

@ChaiwatThATprotonmailDOTcom It's not a local name at all. It's North Korea's state philosophy. All elements of Marxism-Leninism were dropped and the new juche ideology was fully implemented in 1974.
@ChaiwatThATprotonmailDOTcom, "go to the Africa" if you like capitalism. Sounds stupid, don't you think? Sounds stupid like you're first comment.
@ChaiwatThATprotonmailDOTcom, It's convenient to jump from an uncomfortable topic, isn't it? Especially to replace the ideas of Juche and socialism. And, of course, ignore the embargo along with the sanctions on North Korea.
@ChaiwatThATprotonmailDOTcom If you punish North Korea in the way you're suggesting, all you will do is force China to act on their behalf. They are NK's strongest ally because they need a buffer state between themselves and South Korea. Besides that, it's not like international punishments are effective at all towards the government. It's always regular citizens that take the hit.
At the end, Olivier is raving the lines of Othello, then we see him on stage blacked up. I was a teenager in the 1960s and it shocks even me to see him like that.

Wow. All during the Cold War. No wonder the actors were dressed by British firms a gratis. I also had no idea Billie Whitelaw performed in Shakespeare no less than Desdemona. Wow she was always associated with working class roles in film and Telly. Fascinating.
OMG I LOVE Russia!!!
Its such a beautiful, strong and independant country ❤❤❤❤
Spectacular Moscow!
Nice ,bro!

Hunni, look at the happiness of your people and don’t judge others not knowing day to day life.
Where I was watching these video I remember Muslim Magomaev song "it's the best city on the world". Thanks for it's video. You showed a very interesting places on Moscow.
Actually "Otello" is absolutely not politically correct due to a blackface of the main hero. :D
P.S. A little bit of a nostalgy about the old Moscow.
interesting announcers spoke in that same cadence as announcers did back then in the States, but here obviously with a British accent.
"Sometimes drab, and sometimes dramatically beautiful"? He means like London or Paris, New York or Chicago?
My sociology teacher said that the loss of the USSR is a loss for the whole world, humanity has lost an alternative, even America has lost greatness without balance.
Moskow is a beautiful city according to certain meme song.
No, like rachel from friends
@@fgjjdgb3949 no offence but your sociology teacher is wrong. Moscow was was the pinnacle and it was still a pale immitation of even the drabest of western european cities. Ask any Russian over the age of 40.
As any great city

Very objective depiction of the USSR. A country which sacrificed its today for its better tomorrow
You won't find a depiction like that of present day Russia in Western MSM today, not because Russia has become a worse country, but because the Western media has become much much worse.
@Heiliger Katholik "Better" is a comparative term, always relative to what existed before, and Khrushev's USSR was incomparably better and freer than Stalin's, not only in terms of material well being (the 60's and 70's were by far the best years for the average soviet citizen, in the 80's the slow collapse began) but also in terms of comparative freedom.
@ChaiwatThATprotonmailDOTcom is that so😂 tell me what constructive things the capitalist society has done for the world in the past few decades.
@ChaiwatThATprotonmailDOTcom they left poverty due to the government programme that provided them high subsidies and guaranteed market share of their produce. How is that remotely related to capitalism 🤡
Glory to the USSR, the country that destroy fascism and make proletariat lives much better in the whole world.
60th were the Soviet zenith. Than, bad economic decisions, incorrect reforms, slowed down any progress.
7:20 I really would' ve liked to interview that guy and know his life story
Family, house and work. Thats everything. Pretty similar today.
our country is big and people are friendly and any guest is welcomed here, no matter what west media can say. People is not the government, our goals with the government are completely different. I hope one day there will be a lot of tourists from the whole world. I remember in 2018 when it was world football tour I met so many foreigners and even helped few guys when they were lost in the streets. also metro stations were translated to English and Moscow looked like Paris that time. I really love see Russia as a open and friendly place for the whole world and glad to see tourists in the streets. this year with world cup in Russia was one of the best years that I can remember

Интересно раньше руками держа монеты рассчитывались за булочку и этими же руками не боясь и не задумываясь не о каких инфекциях брались за еду и продавщицы не заботились не о какой санитарной защите продаваемых изделий питания...а возле автоматов с газировкой пользовались общим стаканом...впрочем мне не удивительно это обычное для меня с моего советского детства😀
Зато теперь фашисты, управляющие миром, пытаются лишить людей даже простого человеческого общения, ссылаясь на то, что все могут быть "заразными"!

Some of the 39+ year olds in this video might have served in the red army during WW2.
Very ominous once you start to think about it.
All these people, women, children, had to die. When Churchill planned the atomic bombing of the USSR. Think about it and relax.
@@user-dr1re7ge7t This is why Soviet/Russian propaganda is perfect: you didn't lie, but you misinformed as hard as you could.
Being a War Hero or at least a veteran was very good for a career both political and civil. Almost everybody older than 18 were drafted during the war, so yes, everyman you see on this video older than 40 is a war veteran
@@GolovanJot think about what the red army was notorious for when it entered Germany, and Berlin. The mass.... you can probably fill in the blank.

I visited Russia on a business trip in the summer of 1994. As the place had just suffered a collapse, it probably didn't look its best - there were pot holes big enough to swallow a Lada in St Petersburg. I thought Moscow quite a smart city, roughly comparable to Paris. Everywhere else I visited, anonymous industrial towns outside the two famous cities, were industrial slums of a squalour I have only otherwise seen in the more derelict parts of the rust belt of the USA (Philadelphia comes to mind, streets and streets left derelict, factories abandoned and just left as eye sores).
The one thing I will say is that the Russian people were always very smartly turned out, especially the women.
No wonder you have such impression of Russia, the 90’s were the worst years for my country! It became even worse in 1994 than it was in 80’s. But now Russia is much better (at least big cities)! You may visit Moscow and Saint-Petersburg, they are now one of the best cities in Europe.

@@faidh8 I said i would love to visit Moscow,not to live in USSR :D
@@faidh8 so how come did the productive industrious Ukraine of the "oppressive" Soviet Union turn into a country whose economic is dependent on agriculture and whose resources are all owned by Western multinational under capitalism, freedom and democracy? And how come did the "starving, repressed and oppressed" Ukraine had a higher GDP per capita (adjusted to USD inflation) at the fall of the Soviet (which I have to say was not pretty at all) than today? One where the president Biden son's is talking about "taking advantage of Ukraine's corrupt system" to profit or one where Trump declares Ukraine to be a "corrupt country". A country who lost all dignity, with Western puppets at the head of it. And a country where one is so "free" that 3.8 million Ukrainians left it. I wonder why...
And I'm commenting as a Ukrainian born whose parents fled Ukraine a few years after the collapse of the Soviet Union. And what you commented is definitely not the comments my grandparents or parents made of that time period and we lived in Kiev.
