27TH CONGRESS OF THE COMMUNIST PART OF THE SOVIET UNION w/ MIKHAIL GORBACHEV 1986 USSR FILM 11064

This historic film from the former USSR shows the 27th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. This event was held from 25 February to 6 March 1986 in Moscow. This was the first congress presided over by Mikhail Gorbachev as General Secretary of the Central Committee of the CPSU. In accordance with the pattern set 20 years earlier by Leonid Brezhnev, the congress occurred five years after the previous CPSU Congress. Much had changed in those five years. Key figures of Soviet politics, Mikhail Suslov, Leonid Brezhnev, Yuri Andropov, Dmitriy Ustinov, and Konstantin Chernenko had died, and Mikhail Gorbachev had become General Secretary of the Party. For this reason the congress was widely anticipated, both at home and abroad, as an indicator of Gorbachev's new policies and directions. The congress was attended by 4993 delegates. It elected the 27th Central Committee. This Congress became the penultimate in the history of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.
The agenda of the congress included the following:
CC CPSU Report and the Party objectives (Given by Mikhail Gorbachev)
New Party Statute release
Political report of CC CPSU
CPSU Central Revisional Commission report
Report About the economic and social development of the USSR on 1986-1990 and in 2000 perspective
Elections of the central Party organs

I think the narrator is Igor Kirillov, the most famous Soviet news anchor, who just passed away yesterday at the age of 89.

American, but, Russian and Soviet history fascinates me.

[@nickfifteen]

Same here. I was born in 1982, so I definitely grew up during the Cold War, albeit more of the tail end. But I wasn't even 10 by the time the USSR collapsed, so I really didn't understand what "Communists" or "Soviets" were... and its collapse by 1992 didn't give me much to really experience. What I do remember though was that the "bad guys" were actually becoming the "good guys" now, and TV and movies were starting to reflect this in various ways... either treating the USSR as our new friends and our friendship will last to the 21st Century and beyond _(like with the movie 2010 or references to Leningrad and the USSR in Star Trek IV and TNG)_ , or reminding us to not be swayed by the Soviet's turn to the "good side" because they're still dirty Commies and this friendly schtick is just a trick _(like with the movie "Red Dawn")_ .
But what's the most fascinating to me is that _no one_ expected the USSR to implode in just 5 years time, asnd yet I get to see all these people acting so sure and confident about the future of the Soviet Union. I mean, at this point there's no reason to believe otherwise! And yet we have the benefit of hindsight to know otherwise... so it's like, I can't tell if the part that fascinates me the most about all this is the hubris of everyone involved for assuming the USSR could survive... or the idea that we're looking into a world that no longer exists, a world that is forever out of reach, and yet isn't something that is relegated to dusty history books, but is very much alive in film movies like this. In any case, the idea that we can see things from "the other side" like this... it really puts a lot of what I experienced as a child into sharper focus.

@@nickfifteen do you think the United States is becoming soviet ?

[@hillarious2393]

Does Unated States has public ownership of the means of production? Seems like not. In US a private property.
So the answer for yor question is no.

Hey, the translator in 'settings' works pretty well!

It's because someone translated it. You can upload captions to youtube videos, it isn't auto translated by the computer

[@yggdrasil9039]

@@AustinMichael Look pretty auto-generated translation to me. THe grammar and phrasing is way too weird to be a human translator. Looks like it's Google translate direct from the Russian without modification.
