when you eliminate 50% of the country's gdp it makes the debt 10x higher and makes 50% of people out of work. 10% of families lose their odd house if a Russian falls in love with Gorbachev
I was taking a class at university called "Politics of the Soviet Union" in 1986 when everything started to crumble and there was a coup attempt against Gorbachev. We were assigned the roles of different members of the Politburo and had to research them and their careers. I was the editor of Pravda. On the day we were supposed to have our Party Congress, the guy portraying Gorbachev didn't show up for class. We were all wondering what was going on, if someone had taken things a little TOO seriously. He showed up in the last 10 minutes, very upset because he'd had car trouble and let down because there wasn't enough time for him to give his prepared speech.

Tankies and ultranationalists will have to cope. Boris Yelsin was more responsible for destroying Russian democracy and handing Russia to Putin, oligarchs, and corruption.

The failure was a feature. Some things take a while to reveal themselves. In the USSR's case, bankruptcy arrived in the late 1950s. Soviet workers were required to spend 1/12th of their annual income buying state bonds. In 1957, the state realised repayment of bonds coming due in the early 1960s would cost the state more than it would receive in mandatory bond purchases. Khrushchev decided a good idea would be for the Soviet workers to decline repayment as a display of patriotic gratitude. Hocus pocus, debt gone. Other leaders were uncertain. 'We'd better pitch this proposal to some actual workers to see what they think of it.' This was done. Workers hated it. They had been compelled to buy these bonds and they expected repayment. Oh-oh. Repayment was not cancelled. Instead, it was _postponed_ . The government stated repayment would resume in about 20 years. During which time no interest would be paid on this debt. New bonds would no longer be required to be bought. But without the income from the mandatory purchase of these bonds, there would be a shortfall of the funds the government needed. What to do? Gambling! The government re-introduced a lottery. Due to the gov't created consumer goods deficit, winners wanted overpriced yet tough to get items like cars rather than cash. It was wildly popular. And it allowed the government to kick the can down the road for a few more decades. Let someone else deal with the problem.

“Ferb! I know what we’re gonna do today!”
Thank you for sharing your thoughtful content…for putting it out there with the passion that many of us need and strive for. I'm starting to listen to you almost every morning. Your voice and words feels real and genuine.
I am grateful to have your channel as a source for having a better relationship with myself and the world around me.❤️❤️💥
@3:57 they've got Mark Novack in the Pizza Hut advert! Well, he did say he wasn't always a gunsmith...
Hate him or love him but he always be a legend comrade no matter what you believe he always be the legend
He is a legend for people who were the enemies of the post-USSR and for people who didn't live there. For people who lived after the collapse of the USSR ,he is the worst human being in their history and should be burning in hell.
@@revolter7094 yes for the Russian people he is the one who sell their identity to the west for sure
No
Yes
No
I appreciate the jab at Established titles sponsorship. This channel was the only place I even heard about it before it became youtube drama. Some channels have decided to donate all the sponsorship money to conservation/tree planting charities and I highly encourage you to consider this as well, if you really want to undo it in a sense.
Seriously though, how DID he survive?
That's one high quality commercial
honestly didn't know he was still alive for so long
Great video as always :)
Thanks, I needed this advice
this video tied perfectly with history matters' channel's video today, like literally perfectly back to back viewing
Good to know that Gorbachev had a proactive web identity plan.
The self own makes you legendary
that ad was pretty much "did somebody say KFC?"
I noticed your voice is in a commercial for a card game
They probably tracked down the few people who voted for Gorbachev in 1996 and filled that pizza hut restaurant with them 😂
What’s the background song name?
Now that’s how they Putin themselves in the right place.
Love your videos thank you for letting me vibe over a blunt listening too history
This channel answers the question I never knew I wanted to know.
Yep. I remember the Pizza Hut ad. Back when I had optimism.
When Pizza Hut was still good
Good stuff as always, but please lower the background music.
2-minute ad in a 7.5min video? y'all are getting out-of-hand
Is that Semeon Tchernetsky playing in the background?
A two minute ad on a seven minute video. Nice!
i thought this one was going to be about russian oligarchs buying up all soviet state-owned enterprizes
This ad is implying that the VPN helped Gorbachev and that if is a safe product, even though for truly protection of privacy it is not safe at all
Didn't he do a McDonald's ad too?
I had no idea he did commercials 🤣🤣
I am somewhat amazed that he did not just sold some secrets or old weapons to another country for some private cash.
If not him, then someone else probably did it
@@s0rtaananym nor biden
or they got the scientists like with germany and the us after ww2
What is the backround music?
Russia liberalized in 1991
Kazakhstan: Look at me. I am the Soviet Union now.
Belarus: No! I am the soviet union now.
Thank you i may now time travel and Change my name to Gorbachev
How to get rich after Pizza Hut destroyed itself? Move on to SnR New York Style Pizza.
Have my algorithm points.
3:26 - This is the greatest bit on this channel so far.
You will love a man who, by mismanaging the country, erased your main competitor from the maps. For me, it's a bastard who ruined the country for which my great-grandfather died.
Gorbachev was never the premier of Soviet union. Premier was head of government. Gorbachev was the general secretary, a head of state.
please make a video about Counter culture of 60s,and the reason behind it?Why did it deviate towards free love ,LSD? What does this have to do with anti war protest?
That pizza hut commerical was hilarious and cringy
Russian Guys go from President to Showmen
American Guys go from Showmen to President lol
Man the 90s where wild.
What's about "How get rich after destroying the Twin Towers"???
