Спасибо - очень тронули воспоминания - Эстония ! - Таллинн ! - Молодость ! ... - Таллинн - город сказка - и хоть я тоже из большого города Киева. В Киеве - дух истории - в Таллинне - дух романтики средневековья ... - Таллинн мне нравился больше, начало 80-х. Эстонцы очень хорошые моряки - они надежные.
Я хочу вам сказать одно: я не хочу быть парнем, ностальгирующим по СССР, но когда я увидел это видео Таллинна 1975-1988 годов, у меня на глаза навернулись слезы, потому что даже если это не так мой город и моя страна происхождения, именно тогда я понял, что Эстония и Украина составляют единую страну, и это напоминает мне воспоминания моих родителей, бабушек и дедушек, поэтому у меня ностальгия, хотя я родился в 2005 году, спустя 14 лет распад СССР, но еще раз я ностальгирую не по СССР как по государству политически, а по стране, где выросли мои родители
punkrocktrucker depends who you ask Soviet times had their advantages like a very safe area, work for everybody, free apartment and car and a good education. The health assistance was quite good in the western part of the Ussr but you could go to jail because of no reason, you couldn’t leave the country or say anything against the leaders or people who had influence. But it wasn’t that bad for it’s time but now a days it wouldn’t be adapted, finally only Russian was legal to speak in the streets.
@@giacomocasanova2418 There Used to be russian signs all over the country. They were taken down of course but you can still see russian signs when you go to some abandoned soviet towns.
Natalia Vvv- I´m an Estonian who was born in 1975 in Tallinn.. and I´ve never taken sides between Estonians and Russians, Estonia and USSR, but as Estonians we consider it as occupation because we as as a nation can not stand when someone tells us HOW things should be done. And especially if that someone is not another Estonian- but an outsider, a stranger, because we are not very collectively- minded nation- we are in fact one of the most individualistic nations of this world as also global demographic studies have shown. I majored in history of population at Univeristy of Tartu. So it´s out basic intellect that interprets collective and outer impact as a threat to our ID- and it´s rooted deeply in our unconsciousness. I´m also a poet, so I know a great deal about that. There´s also a split or big divide because of that attitude between Estonians, because there are these days also a great deal of Estonians who are in spirit social democrats or socialists- versus those who feel they are suppressed because of that, because they are unconsciously individualistic. Our individualism is where both our weakness and strength lies and you as someone who lives here, feels it too- if not consciously, then unconsciously. And it´s no one´s fault really, it´s just how things are.
Живу в Таллине с 1959 года всегда башня на ратуше с Вана Томасом была слева если смотреть с площади а на видео 3:11 она справа если смотреть с площади, а где аптека?Зазеркалье какое то.
I see nothing to be nostalgic for. All of the pretty sites shown in the clip, are built in pre communist time. The rest is panel built flats, sadly just like everywhere else in Eastern Europe. Estonia is way better off today.
man, you're exaggerating, it was good before, but now it's normal that we turn towards the West because it's the future for the Baltic countries,Communism and Ussr was elements of the past
O these yellow buses.., music, film quality.. kind of nostalgic. I think the new city-line buses did not change before about 1998 or so.. at least in Tartu, as much as I remember. Cold, rusty yellow buses = childhood, up to second or third grade. Somehow I have missed these.
Памятник Ленину стоял напротив здания КПЭ, сейчас там министерство иностранных дел на Рявала пст., рядом с Солярисом. Если смотреть на карте, то сейчас это место обозначено как Iceland square.
I have one thing to tell you, I don't want to be the guy who is nostalgic for the USSR but when I see this video of Tallinn in the years 1975-1988 it brought tears to my eyes, because even if it is not my city and my country of origin, that's when I realized that Estonia and Ukraine form a single country, and that reminds me of the memories of my parents and grandparents, that's why I have Nostalgia even though I was born in 2005, 14 years after the fall of the USSR but once again I am not Nostalgic for the USSR as a State politically but as a Country where my Parents grew up
Исходя из существующей действительности в 2020 году, являясь гражданином России, изучая историю, меня удивляет как в свое время могли быть в составе Российской империи такие государства как Финляндия и Польша. Хотя эти страны и имели практически полную автономию, но тем не мене были под протекторатом Российской империи. Но то была история, историей являет и тот факт, что прибалтика когда то была в составе Советского союза и была на привилегированных условиях в отличии от большинства советский республик. Смотрю сейчас на прибалтику и так же удивляюсь как мы могли быть когда то в составе одной страны...
for liberrals and capitalists it was, but for common people it was utopic life, when stalin died and smart leaders took over, it became strongest country in world, won space race, ppl were optimistic and equally happy.

100 Years of Communism: Death and Deprivation On November 9, 1989, the Berlin Wall fell. It did so by accident. During a press conference, the spokesman for East Berlin’s Communist Party noted that citizens of the German Democratic Republic would be allowed to travel to the West. For months, pressure was building on the authorities, as tens of thousands of East Germans tried to flee to West Germany via the unguarded Hungarian frontier. To regain control of the situation, the authorities agreed to start providing exit visas to the restless populace in the near future, but both the nature and the timing of the concession got lost in a frenzy of questions that followed the announcement. The word of the border opening spread like wildfire. By midnight thousands of Berliners squared off against a few dozen confused policemen guarding the Bornholmer Street checkpoint. Overwhelmed, the police let the people through. Over the next three days, three million East Germans got their first taste of the life in the West. The communist authority in East Germany crumbled along with the Wall. Within a year, the two Germanys were reunified. In Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland, and Romania, communist governments met the same fate. Finally, in August 1991, communism fell in the Soviet Union, and the country dissolved on December 26. *** Twenty-eight years later, those of us who lived through those momentous days still cherish the freedoms that we gained. For most people, alas, communism is but an echo of a distant past. So much so that socialism, an economic system of communist countries, is experiencing something of a renaissance. In Venezuela, for example, an 18-year-old experiment with socialism is entering a horrific denouement marked by hyperinflation, hunger, rising infant mortality rates and increasingly brutal suppression of the opposition. In the United Kingdom, an unrepentant socialist came within a few percentage points of winning this year’s election, while in the United States, a socialist senator almost became the Democratic Party’s nominee for the presidency. Let us, therefore, remind ourselves what communism wrought. Writing in this newspaper, A. Barton Hinkle noted that “while the Soviet Union is no more and communism has been discredited in most eyes for many years, it is hard even now to grasp the sheer scale of agony imposed by the brutal ideology of collectivism.” Indeed. “The Black Book of Communism,” a postmortem of communist atrocities compiled by European and American academics in 1997, concluded that the human cost of genocides, extrajudicial executions, deportations, and artificial famines stood at over 94 million. Professor Mark Kramer from the Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies at Harvard University edited “The Black Book.” Subsequent research, he told me, suggests that “the total number (of people) who died unnatural deaths under communist regimes … (is) upward of 80 million.” Let’s put that new number in perspective. Between 1825 and 1917, wrote Stéphane Courtois from the French National Centre for Scientific Research, the Tsarist regime in Russia “carried out 6,321 political executions … whereas in two months of official ‘Red Terror’ in the fall of 1918 Bolshevism achieved some 15,000.” Or, consider the Inquisition. According to Professor Agostino Borromeo, a historian of Catholicism at the Sapienza University in Rome, “there were some 125,000 trials of suspected heretics in Spain … (between 1478 and 1834, but only) about 1 percent of the defendants (i.e., 1,250) were executed.” Finally, consider the counterreformation. Queen “Bloody” Mary, who tried to restore Catholicism to England between 1553 and 1558, sent 280 dissenters to the stake. Between November 1917, when the communists came to power in Russia, and the North Korean famine in the mid-1990s, communists were responsible for deaths of at least 154 people every hour. *** Consider, also, the economic legacy of communism. While socialist economies of Central and Eastern Europe continued to grow for much of the communist period, capitalist countries in Western Europe grew faster. For example, look at East and West Germany. At the end of World War II, average incomes in Germany were, by definition, equal. By 1989, West German incomes were almost twice as high as those in East Germany. Then there is North and South Korea. Once again, incomes in Korea were equal, on average, at the conclusion of World War II. Contemporary data for North Korea is tough to come by, but Professor Angus Maddison of Groningen University estimated that in 2008, South Koreans were 18 times richer than North Koreans. Finally, those who are truly interested in the reality of daily life under socialism can see it for themselves by visiting Cuba and Venezuela. No matter where it was tried, communism has always resulted in mountains of dead bodies. As for socialist economics, it has always resulted in shortages, inefficiency, poverty, and desperation. The verdict of history is clear, but only if people are willing to see it. Viide: www.cato.org/publications/commentary/100-years-communism-death-deprivation
Let's get real though. The leftist parties in the western democracies have very little to do with Soviet/Venezuelan style real socialism, and they are a much needed balance to the right wing. In democracies, there are OPTIONS, and in the end a balance is achieved and it usually works out just fine. But pretty much every major party in the west (or the world even) support market economy. There are only a handful of communist countries left in the world, and market economy has proved to be far superior to communism, and very few parties seriously seek real socialism. Personally I vote for right wing, but I do understand that there needs to be OPTIONS in a democracy, or it's not a democracy and that leads to catastrophy. But I have no sympathy for real communist parties though. Those are evil, much like a nazi party would be.
@S J богатые места в эстонии можно по пальцем со счетать. А в основном нищета и унылие. политики не думают о людях. всё что строилось в то время сносится. У моей знакомый огород снесли и весь раён дач. В магазинах сплошная химия да и вещи без качевства. В моём городе лампы на улице даже ровно не могут поставить. А о реновацые домов я вообще молчю. И люди тоже изменились, все вокруге такие злые и жестокие. и извеняюсь если пишу с ошибками. я сам на половину Эстонец и Русский.

Finally, in August 1991, communism fell in the Soviet Union, and the country dissolved on December 26.

“The Black Book of Communism,” a postmortem of communist atrocities compiled by European and American academics in 1997, concluded that the human cost of genocides, extrajudicial executions, deportations, and artificial famines stood at over 94 million.
Professor Mark Kramer from the Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies at Harvard University edited “The Black Book.” Subsequent research, he told me, suggests that “the total number (of people) who died unnatural deaths under communist regimes … (is) upward of 80 million.”
Let’s put that new number in perspective.
Between 1825 and 1917, wrote Stéphane Courtois from the French National Centre for Scientific Research, the Tsarist regime in Russia “carried out 6,321 political executions … whereas in two months of official ‘Red Terror’ in the fall of 1918 Bolshevism achieved some 15,000.”
Or, consider the Inquisition. According to Professor Agostino Borromeo, a historian of Catholicism at the Sapienza University in Rome, “there were some 125,000 trials of suspected heretics in Spain … (between 1478 and 1834, but only) about 1 percent of the defendants (i.e., 1,250) were executed.”
Finally, consider the counterreformation. Queen “Bloody” Mary, who tried to restore Catholicism to England between 1553 and 1558, sent 280 dissenters to the stake. Between November 1917, when the communists came to power in Russia, and the North Korean famine in the mid-1990s, communists were responsible for deaths of at least 154 people every hour.

Consider, also, the economic legacy of communism. While socialist economies of Central and Eastern Europe continued to grow for much of the communist period, capitalist countries in Western Europe grew faster.
For example, look at East and West Germany. At the end of World War II, average incomes in Germany were, by definition, equal. By 1989, West German incomes were almost twice as high as those in East Germany.
Then there is North and South Korea. Once again, incomes in Korea were equal, on average, at the conclusion of World War II. Contemporary data for North Korea is tough to come by, but Professor Angus Maddison of Groningen University estimated that in 2008, South Koreans were 18 times richer than North Koreans.
Finally, those who are truly interested in the reality of daily life under socialism can see it for themselves by visiting Cuba and Venezuela.
No matter where it was tried, communism has always resulted in mountains of dead bodies. As for socialist economics, it has always resulted in shortages, inefficiency, poverty, and desperation. The verdict of history is clear, but only if people are willing to see it.

Let's get real though. The leftist parties in the western democracies have very little to do with Soviet/Venezuelan style real socialism, and they are a much needed balance to the right wing. In democracies, there are OPTIONS, and in the end a balance is achieved and it usually works out just fine.
But pretty much every major party in the west (or the world even) support market economy. There are only a handful of communist countries left in the world, and market economy has proved to be far superior to communism, and very few parties seriously seek real socialism.
Personally I vote for right wing, but I do understand that there needs to be OPTIONS in a democracy, or it's not a democracy and that leads to catastrophy. But I have no sympathy for real communist parties though. Those are evil, much like a nazi party would be.
Жаль что завалили эстонцы страну, были бы русские все под контролем было бы.
1918 ne udalos ruskim Estoniu savalit, a 1944 ksašeleniu udalos. Eta uvas v rossii vidna kak vsjo pod kontroljam, pod jevreiskom kontroljam!

@S J к лучшему это не привело! Сам живу здесь.
@S J богатые места в эстонии можно по пальцем со счетать. А в основном нищета и унылие. политики не думают о людях. всё что строилось в то время сносится. У моей знакомый огород снесли и весь раён дач. В магазинах сплошная химия да и вещи без качевства. В моём городе лампы на улице даже ровно не могут поставить. А о реновацые домов я вообще молчю. И люди тоже изменились, все вокруге такие злые и жестокие. и извеняюсь если пишу с ошибками. я сам на половину Эстонец и Русский.
@S J это какая? Раз я не понимаю? Там все Эстонские.
