Everything you need to know about the Soviet mentality is crystallized when a decision made in a foreign country (Hungary) by that country's Prime Minister (Imre Nagy) can be simply labeled "Invalid'. In essence the eastern block countries were no longer countries at all - just areas of the U.S.S.R. with different names
@Marek Pająk We could use more documentaries on Russian colonialism in the 20th century. You should reach out to Vice News and Radio Free Europe and see if you can help in the production of an episode or program on the topic, particularly in Poland. I am trying to make my own videos with a friend. I will see how that goes before trying to move forward with maybe getting a gig with an internet news site.
The huge avenue (on the western side) leading to the Brandenburg Gate is today called Straße der 17 Juni. On the eastern side of the gate it is still called Unter den Linden (Under the Lime trees) I find it significant that East Germans only really started to leave East Berlin in large numbers AFTER Stalin's death. One wonders what prevented a mass exodus while he was alive - probably threats to their extended families
A wise choice. It shows how willingly people are led, however absurd the philosophy. They'd rather be wrong together than being right but alone. Just look at the pandemic to see an eloquent demonstration that it's still true today...🤔

This is one of the best channels there is on RUclips. World at war has all net flex’ (spelled that way for a reason) W W I I in colour, and the hitler youth series. USC SHOAH foundation on utube has all WWII full testimonies of adults, prisoners and allies, as well as, the other genocides since.
Is there any hungarians here? I am interested to know what the publics perception on Imre Nagy is, I understand his statue was removed from budapest a few years ago, is he known as a hero to the hungarian people?
The comment below is about the lend lease program in WW2. These are all the numbers of military equipment and supplies that the US lent Russia to fight against Germany. The numbers will surprise you. And none of it was paid back. But it shows once again real history of the good and the bad.
Absolute bullshit. Post Soviet Russia assumed all the USSR lend lease debts and paid it off August 2006. Britain paid off December 2006. I dislike liars far more than the ignorant; not sure where you fall (fail). Half truths don't prove an opinion.
Also, it seemed that after the USSR burned through the money, scientists, food and products they pillaged from Europe after WW2.....they began to fall apart. By the mid 70's, the USSR was in a downward spiral they couldn't have come out of. The simple fact that they couldn't feed their own people, in a nation as large and fertile as the USSR is insanity.
Did the Soviets see themselves as a Russian empire? Their propaganda called everyone who opposed them "fascists" and associates of "imperialism." It is highly likely they did not even understand the definition of the words. Russia was one of the greatest empires and colonizers in world history. How can anyone lack that much self-awareness? They colonized the Baltic states and enslave half of Europe and say that everyone who opposes them is associated with "imperialism" or is trying to undermine "democracy". At one empire meeting with the puppet leaders of Europe, a Soviet speaker gave a propaganda speech saying it was the US that was trying to "enslave Europe." They were psychotic and had no grip on reality. The Soviets are said to be worse than the Nazis since their occupation lasted far longer.
One of the BEST and most important series made. They don’t make non-fiction programs like this anymore. Just dumbass, I’ve road truckers or masturbation wars
Because it's a brilliant plan to get out of poverty... on paper. Mind you many nations did adopt thinks Marx fought for in his lifetime, workers rights, general education, better healthcare, minimum wage etc etc. He had some great ideas, but on the whole communism if far to vulnerable to fall to dictatorship, and every single communist nation did so.
Comparisons with the British Empire are valid only to a point. In the late 60's the British Empire was gone. The new Soviet Union Empire was in full stride. In addition despite its faults, the subjects of the Empire in most places saw a rise in living standards. By the end of post war reconstruction, living standards stagnated and lowered. This was particularly true of Czechoslovakia which beef the war has one of the highest living standards anywhere.
Now hold on a minute! Yugoslavia was a socialist country but was only under direct russian command up to Tito's fall out with Stalin. From that point on Yugoslavia led the movement of the Independent nations. As a socialist nation it kept close ties with the eastern block but ask any Romanian or Bulgarian or Hungarian at the time and you'd know how different Yugoslavia was.
Ok ok they said it!!! I was like that map shows like Yugoslavia is part of the Eastern block when in fact it wasn't. People could travlel to and from Yugoslavia, biggest celebrities of the time like Elisabeth Taylor actually went on hollidays here.
Anyone who thinks that the second amendment and the right to bare arms is outdated and needs to be repealed first needs to watch this and second after that needs a slap!
Musk must have learnt from Ulbricht. Did you read the news about what Musk ordered what Twitter emplyees must do? When I read the news, Ulbricht came to my mind.
30:19: Imre Nagy was one of the "Letts" that murdered Tsar Martyr Nicholas II, his wife and OTMAA along with the 4 faithful saint/retainers on 7/16-17/1918 for no reason except that Ulyanov and Sverdlov thought it would be a good idea. Read some history and see. Ahh, life in Russia was soo much better under the Cheka, MGB, NKVD et al and then they gave it to the rest of Europe! And no, I'm not a Republican.
Invalid... It's repulsive. How was soviet oppression not invalid... How hypocritical can you be for the sake of convenience? At what point one starts to question his own integrity?
Yeah, not exactly. Wtf should've they done when nothing was becoming real of their demands. The West was communicating the soon arrival of help through radio which Hungarians thought was true and that they ought to fight until that. The soviets didn't approve Nagy Imre as prime minister, neither his governement as legitim, or even some of their demands as ok. Nobody knew nothing, of course they fought. And though the revolution was crushed and the soviet regime stayed until 1989, it became much easier from the 60s. Althought some elements of terror and the massive propaganda remained, the revolution (and the weakening Soviet Union) helped the lives of all people in Hungary.
Yeah wanting freedom is clearly an overreaction. Once the tanks rolled in they realised the error of their ways and returned to the loving arms of the ussr. Thats how it happened isnt it?
