  • Discover the Eerie Remnants of the Soviet Union in our documentary. From Chernobyl to Secret Bunkers.
    Explore the haunting remnants of the Soviet Union in our latest gripping documentary. Venture into the secretive nuclear bunkers tucked away in the recesses of East Germany, once under the control of the formidable Soviet empire. Witness the aftermath at Chernobyl, the infamous Soviet-era nuclear power plant that once symbolized the promise of clean energy but now stands as a testament to catastrophe. And walk the corridors of the Beelitz hospital, a relic from the era of the German Kaiser, transformed into a Soviet military hospital.
    Uncover how these monumental sites have left indelible marks on the lives of those who crossed their paths. Listen to personal stories that delve into the profound impact the fall of the Soviet Union has had on individual destinies. From engineers who once worked in the Chernobyl facility to soldiers who were stationed at Soviet bunkers, meet the people whose lives were irrevocably shaped by these historic landmarks.
    With the Soviet Union's disintegration, all that remains are fading memories and these slowly decaying yet fascinating sites. As these historical places crumble and return to nature, our documentary captures them in their current state, serving as both a tribute and a warning.
    Don't miss this compelling journey into the remnants of the Soviet Union, immortalized in our must-watch documentary. From the tragic legacy of Chernobyl to the secretive bunkers that once housed nuclear warheads, take a step back in time to understand how the Soviet era has shaped the world we live in today.

    Right between 0:09 - 0:10, where you see the two "liqidators" run, there is a short frame skip in the footage.
    Looks like a error, but it's kinda odd.
    If you freeze exactly at this frame, threre is a picture of two females dressed in blue and yellow robes, looking despaired.
    Underneath a german phrase "Denn ihnen wird Haus und Hof weggenommen".
    Meaning loosely as much as "because their House and Land is beeing taken from them".
    What a twist in a documentary about the soviet union.
    Kinda funky and creepy at the same time. 😂

    That was a sad day for me in the USA. I was in high school at the time. I heard about the explosion and all the people dying! I was sad and cried for the people. I’m part Ukrainian on my dads side his grandma was from Mikoliv in the south. I followed what we could know only by tv at that time and we weren’t getting much information on what and how bad it was till other countries started saying radiation was coming through the air. It was effecting every country around it. Then the clean up and people dying from having to clean it up and cap it. This went on for years. What a catastrophe! Some people knew they were going to dye others didn’t know the effects of the radiation. It was so sad! That’s what I heard and saw. I’m in my 50’s so I wasn’t around when the USA bombed Japan. But I saw the effects of nuclear power. It’s so sad that the world powers had to go so far as making bombs out of the nuclear fusion. Now we’re in a situation of playing chicken with everyone’s life on earth! This has to stop or the whole world is screwed! Nobody wins this war? What is the trophy? Nothing but ideology! Nothing no trophies! Stupid to continue this! I understand it for electrical power but that’s it!

    We have our own abandoned locations in the US. Overgrown and wooded installations, abandoned Nike sites, abandoned Atlas silos, entire street grids of long-closed army posts now consumed by forest. Even on current installations, we go into long abandoned training areas only to discover 1950’s ruins. We often find where a unit had lunch. Old rusty ration tins, the occasional left behind weapons magazine, half-rotted pieces of gear. Soldiers were sloppy back then, too. 1918 headstamped expended brass. Lots of 1942,43 expended blank rounds. Mortar tailfins, mystery munitions long since corroded. You look around and notice that none of the pines are over 60 years old, then through the woods, recognize a line of burm firing points that was once a rifle range.

    No containment vessel. Procedures ignored.
    Probably a dangerous design of reactor.
    BUT
    The real problem was the fundamental concept of water under pressure (to stop it becoming less useful steam).
    We do that too. Yet in Oak Ridge, the possibility of using Molten Salt Reactors was demonstrated (before the project was ended by short-sighted politicians).
    The advantages of MSR are multiple and profound - not least: for safety.
    But unfortunately, this is still a niche interest among nuclear physicists.
    This will change, if we spend the energy money in the right way.

      From what I have read and seen in videos the problem wasn't that the control rods weren't able to be lowered fast enough. The problem was that they had graphite tips and went they went to lower them they weren't able to be lowered down completely. This left the graphite tips exposed to the fuel rods, which increased the reaction.

      I hope the ukrainians dont stop before they liberate all of ukraine and take at least a 20-40km bufferzone from russia.
      The only language the russians speak is violence, so we need to bloody their nose to put them in their place and stop them.
      Otherwise the russians will continue their attempts, until someone bloodies their noses.
      And if that someone needs to be nato, then the war will be much more costly.

    On 15 August 1972, the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant (officially the Vladimir Ilyich Lenin Nuclear Power Plant) began construction about 15 km (9.3 mi) northwest of Chernobyl. The plant was built alongside Pripyat, an "atomograd" city founded on 4 February 1970 that was intended to serve the nuclear power plant.

The Soviet Union did not had these two systems they were a centralized government dictating what the economy should and should not produce or consumed. Mao saw this weakness in the Soviet economy and set out to prove Russia wrong after the Cuban missile crisis I. Where Mao called Kruschev a revisionist(traitor) as the Soviet balked at the blockade.

      @G-Man-half-life The America from the Cold War no longer exists.
      We live in a post truth society, and merit has been replaced with equity.
      We manufacture almost nothing and have no work ethic in our youth and young adults.
      The collapse isn't coming. it's knocking down the door.

    All the bunkers in Western and Eastern Europe tell the whole story. They are in hideous states of disrepair, but Sing this," I have the solution." We are all thinking about the solution, with everybody with solutions.

    East Germany paid for its occupation. It was not just the bunkers that held the nuclear weapons but also the buildings for soldiers and the equipment for all it. Russian soldier were amazed by the rich society surrounding them but personal contact with Germans were strictly prohibited. There were no marriages between East German Women and Russian soldiers, no matter what old STASI officers say today, the East Germans had less contact to Russia than West Germans. The "friendship" between East Germans and Russians was a lie.

      chernobyl is in Ukraine. and ukrainians mykola responcible
      u can finally visit Chernobyl
      The reason the Ukraine had so many accidents and failures was due to lack of care and upkeep of infrastructure. Corruption, apathy and greed can easily circumvent even good safety procedures, which they never had in the first place.

    People forget that the Soviet Union invaded Poland in the start of WWII, coming from the east after Germany invaded from the west; that the USSR invaded Finland; that the USSR reneged on its agreement to hold fair elections in the administered countries after WWII and instead created subservient states; that they invaded Czechoslovakia in 1968, and on and on.
    This inane equivalence to NATO is either ignorant, duplicitous or a manifestation of some sort of self-loathing.
    Nothing is probably purely good and evil, but the Soviet Union was flat-out bad.

    I lived in Frankfurt am Main, and remember the warnings not to take my daughter to the sand pit or play areas, the local newspaper produced lists of food stuff to avoid, all due to the raised level of radioactivity as a result of Chernobyl.

    Germany wasn't the front line
    The front line was allways moving from Asia to South America and even Africa and the news paper and film
    Had one of the super powers attacked the other tho i wouldn't be surprised if east and west Germany started throwing nukes just because they were told to like good little soldiers
