SideProjects: for when it's just not quite MEGA enough! This is an awesome new channel from Simon Whistler that serves as a companion to MegaProjects. Here at MP, we'll continue to cover huge undertakings, often with outsized global implications... over at SP, which is published on alternating days, we'll give you interesting projects, stories, and tidbits that aren't quite so massive. We hope you'll subscribe to both!

I am Sideprojects, and I approve this message.
Nice! This is what, your 26th channel?🤣
Another day, another channel, another step closer to Simon being the only RUclipsr on the site.
Do a megaproject on TESLA GIGAFACTORY in California
bad breath megaproject......
"First of thirteen 'Five Year Plans.'" -yeah, I'm down for 12 more of these
It's like potatoe chips or battles on the Isonzo river, you can't have just one
SAME i really liked it. Also I think he was very impartial in detailing it. There were terrifying human losses during those 5 years, but there were also massive industrial gains and it cemented Russia as a global superpower.
@@Arbiter099and like Battles of the Isonzo River, they all result in bureaucrats bungling things up and thousands of people dying
Sounds like "15 days" to slow the spread, just about 50 times back to back
I would love to see the rest of them!!
Megaproject idea: Simon's channel managing skills
This is perfect we need his wisdom!
Holy shit....
Is this 9 channels that he has done or is doing now?
Haha right! He should make a video giving everyone who helps with his channels a shout-out
Not to mention his new kid, I guess that's one way to get out of changing diapers,
"Sorry I can't get this one, uh... I'm starting a new channel!"
Wouldn’t mind hearing more about the next few 5 year plans
Anybody else come here after watching Simon lament how no one watched this in his T-35 video? 😅
Yes, I... had to search for this video.
heh yup
Yep. Felt sorry for him, so here I am!
Yup. Glad I did
Giving you an update after watching the T35 video this video was the first video that popped up afterwards. So Simon's mentioning the video has definitely helped.
So thats;
Megaprojects
Geographic
Business blaze
Today I found out
Toptenz
Simon whistler
Side projects
(I'm probably missing some aswell)
That Simon Whistler is host of.
This guy takes up like half the channels I watch.
Edit: biographics, just remembered.
Visual Politik 4 months ago.
simon whistler show
No such thing as too much Simon Whistler
Highlight History (according to the video's description)
And biographics
Megaprojects: the boeing Everett factory: home to the largest building in the world by volume
YES!!!
across town from my house lol
Is that the one that produces its own interior weather patterns?
tgdm, I know that they do develop clouds inside due to the 11 story height.
@@tgdm Houston Astrodome does that. It's been known to rain inside.
Megaprojects suggestion: Moving the swedish town Kiruna to prevent it from falling down a mine.
We should take Kiruna, and push it somewhere else!
Megaprojects Suggestions: German bucket wheel excavators and Big Muskie.
Both are/were the largest terrestrial machines on the planet.
That's a fikkin huge machine! What is it like supposed to be , each bucket would fit a van in it or something an like 20 buckets on the wheel.
I second your suggestion!
@@toddlerj102 Big Muskie had the biggest single bucket of any digging machine in the world. 2 Greyhound busses could fit side by side in it.
The Bagger 288
In the second Ghost Rider movie he turns a bucket wheel excavator into a fiery hellvehicle!
4:10 - Chapter 1 - Lenin death
6:20 - Chapter 2 - 1928
8:55 - Chapter 3 - Propaganda
10:10 - Chapter 4 - The farming collective
14:00 - Chapter 5 - Sucesses & failures
16:15 - Chapter 6 - 1 down, 13 to go
Simon: starts aNoThEr channel
Cats: we no longer control the internet-call for an orbital strike
They still control the rest of the internet 😂.
Do you remember when the Simon Whistler show used to be called RUclips?
I want more 5 year plan videos! Even if it's a small audience
Simon- "I had no idea that there were so many of these."
Me- "Well yeah, there was a new one every five years, LOL"
I thought it was just a Stalin thing. I didn't realize they kept it going after his death.
Given that the first five-year plan resulted in the Soviet union eventually becoming a world power, learning more detail of the events leading to its ultimate collapse would be interesting to say the least
Yes, please, a continuation of the Five Year Plans!
I'm highly interested in the remaining plans! Also, thoroughly impressed with the consistency and quality of your myriad of channels' videos. Keep it up! I'll keep subbing to all of 'em, ♥
Megaproject Suggestion. Longest deep bore ice core in Antarctica. Took years, loads of drama with it and they found some cool stuff like a fresh water lake under the ice containing previously unknown lifeforms. Would go Well with the other hole projects that are popular
Really hard to think about "popular holes" and keep a straight face
@@edbangor9163 Yeah, Simon really makes probing deep dark holes in the backend of beyond appealing doesn't he?
@@edbangor9163 Especially with your name.
Vostok Lake
@@armr6937 Thats the one.
You said this video did poorly on your T-35 video. I'm here to make amends.
Same
Ditto
Here's an idea for ridiculous technological innovations still in use: the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico! It hosts one of the largest radio telescopes in the world and is one of the observatories currently monitoring petty little things in space like mass extinction causing asteroids and other various space junk.
This would also pose an opportunity to talk about future changes to a megaproject, as it had structural issues and considerable damage just this summer.
Yes please!
I would love this! Great suggestion... No matter which channel it ends up on.
Yes!
I've been there.....It's awesome! Please do it Simon?
I heard it took some pretty severe damage in a storm, that at the time was odd to me 'cos I'd finished reading about it literally a week before. Have they repaired it yet?
the Brenner-Base-Tunnel in conjuction with the Brennernordzuluf would make for a good episode.
You left us hanging! Definitely want to hear more about the subsequent plans. Honestly this was a lot more interesting topic than I thought it would be, and gave me insight into this conflicted period of history.
So many channels, so much good content, Simon & team!!! 💚✊
I wonder who started those rumors about invasion, certainly not the party
I would enjoy seeing another of these plans, they’re fascinating! Thank you for your videos 🥰
I’m now subscribed to 4 channels hosted by Simon and I don’t think that’s enough 😂😂
Confirmed. Four is not enough. I want all of your subscriptions, Harry. ALL OF THEM
We are Simon you will be assimilated, ressistance is futile, subscribe, subscribe...
Already subscribed and happy 👍 LLP Simon and keep doing what you are doing 💪😎
Stalin's logic: The end justifies the means
which is an excuse as his ends would only justified the means if a massive war broke out shortly afterwards - and he had no way to predict that... as such his means were done with no "end" to justify them. His constant fearmongering of a looming war to justify it was propaganda. Oddly WWII did happen but that was not foresight but a strange sort of luck - which just led to more death for the soviets. Arguably the death toll of industrialization was higher than anything the Nazis could have inflicted on russia if they stayed agrarian.
Thats the logic of all leftists...
@@squee222 lol, wut? no way to predict a full scale war? What a complete bullshit. Literally everyone, who had even a slightest clue, knew, that the next World War is inevitable. It became obvious the very monent the WW1 ended.
Also, if Germany won they would have genocided all the soviets at least up to the Urals. Which was 80-100 million people.
Now look at neutered russia with USSR dissolved. barely the superpower it used to be.
Simon should host a skillshare on managing 61 RUclips channels
Simon I love your channels, you're my breakfast companion every morning. I've always been fascinated with Soviet Russia and the cold war in general, please do more videos on the topic, I'll watch them all. Keep up the good work my friend!
An idea: it's mega: the Mackinac (mak-in-aw) Bridge in Michigan
And the Rouge Complex.
Mega project ideas - Mars Rovers, Spirit and Opportunity. The LEM for the Apollo Missions to the Moon or the Lunar Rovers. Also the pyramids of Giza and the Great Pyramid for the First Emperor of China with his pits of terracotta warriors as well as scribes, slaves and concubines. Just a few ideas.
Simon, you should make this series like the Corporate Darwin Awards and have the biggest failures as bonus facts at the end! As an American student, we aren't taught much about the turmoils that other nations face so these videos are always very fascinating and educational
Comrade, congratulations on fulfilling your annual channel quota!
I got a suggestion you might like:
During the 1850s and 1860s the city of Chicago had to install it's sewer system, but since the city was already built at only about 4ft above the shores of Lake Michigan they actually raised the entire city, building by building on jackscrews as they built the sewers. Literally raising the elevation of an entire city is pretty mega.
Edit: Hey! Simon did it: ruclips.net/video/QWQa2jCNzIc/видео.html
They had to do the reverse in Seattle about 100 years ago also - had to grade down some very steep hills - ended up exposing basement walls in some places.....
Hey Simon, I'm here from the T-35 Tank video on SideProjects.
I truly appreciate all the content you put out, thank you!
I really enjoyed this video and would love to see more of this style!
Simon is the Wikipedia of RUclips. He's done videos on pretty much everything and everyone (of importance) who's ever existed.
So... Simon isn't important? Just keep in mind, once he consumes all of RUclips, there will be only Simon... This is only the begining.
@@outcast170 Good point. Im actually one of the many who've recommended Simon do a story of himself on biographics.
@@outcast170 then we'll have to play RUclips says.
Simon the real Jesus
@@leighpowell1062 Nah, although he's definitely "delivering the message", he hasn't tried to convert us to the Church of Simon... Wait a minute, he's done videos on subliminal messages, all masterminds love to tell you HOW their going to take over, while their doing it... Oh no, we've already been indoctrinated to the Church of Simon Says.
Eh, I've been in worse groups. Either that brainwashing was great or Simon really is a nice deity to follow.
Speaking of Jesus though, he does have the epic beard, often walks around with no shoes (when is the last time you saw his shoes?), and always has a message to deliver while attempting to make us better people through information. Again I say, that must have been some good brain washing.
9:45 One of Karl Marx's biggest gripes with the bourgeoisie/capitalists when writing Das Kapital and the Communist Manifesto was that the owners of the factories treated workers like "cogs in a machine"...
Which is essentially the same thing that Stalin's USSR did to so many workers.
To quote Sheev Palpatine: "Ironic."
The soviet union had very little to do with marx ideas.
Kinda like usa's "all men are created equal".
"That wasn't real Socialism"
Yup, definitely want more of this 5 year plans. Bring it.
Good video, id watch as many more that you are willing to put out. Dont worry about the numbers any particular video puts out , or what does well. Keep making videos that you like doing , and viewers will appreciate your work.
I'll make more anyway because I love praise. Well at least he's honest
I feel like you are teaching me a university level course in soviet history! How about a megaprojects video about the power grid network and how it compared to western ones? Or even moving away from Russia, the worlds biggest power grid?
Or related to that, Lenin's 15-year plan to electrify Russia.
Fantastic episode. This is like a deep dive of an album. Would love more like this.
Great stuff! More, please! I can’t believe the quality and volume of highly informative material you are cranking out, Simon! Wow!
Half of my subscriptions are Simon's channels...
Simon: I've got a new channel!
Same here!
He won't stop until he hits 99.9% of your subscriptions.
Funfact: He just started another channel yesterday. xplrd
It could have been worse. They could have gone for a great leap forward.
ain't communism fun
Especially with all of the leaderships competing to show their ideological purity and commitment to the cause.
With every Communist movement comes their inevitable Purges. The most self-destructive & "Cannibalistic" form of government ever.
@@ryann8680 read this as ANTI communism fun then realized both comments work
Hitler: I'm bad!
Stalin: Hold my vodka
Mao: Meh, amateurs
Simon making yet another channel: A fine addition to my collection
I love this idea for a series and I can’t wait to see more
I was already worried that Simon hasn't created a new channel in the last three weeks
Good to see that he is fine though and added another one to his collection
One step further on the path to youtube domination.
Honestly binge watching so many of your channels. Would enjoy more of these 5 step plans
Now I want to know more about the other 5 year plans! Thanks for doing this!
You should do one on the Moscow Metro system
@Anthony Swiss Metro 2033; classic
Metro 2033 by Simon.
why? Is any different then others? It surely isn't older or bigger then the London one, so what would be the point?
@@purpleldv966 It's larger than Londons, and it's stations are basically works of art. Created to show off the impressiveness of the USSR
@@purpleldv966 Bigger and it only grows...
Speaking of economy reverting projects: the Autobahn
Awesome presentation as always. Fascinating subject. Excellent over-view. Thank you. Bring on the next in this series😊
Subscribed to yet another channel of yours. Keep it up Simon & team!
Loving it - Megaproject suggestions: Heavy Haul railways and India's electrified double-stack railway corridor
I approve of putting the 5 year plans under Mega Projects. Even though it was a dumpster fire it did work--because without these blood-soaked five year plans Hitler would have crushed the USSR. That doesn't mean that the five year plans were good things. It's hard to view these things objectively because the past is messy and chaotic--it was life.
People don't understand that if it wasn't for the rapid industrialization, Hitler would have destroyed the USSR.
@@Dan-Martin Russia lost the First World War partially because it was not a very industrialized nation.
"Five Year Plans and New Deals, wrapped in golden chain ..."
Side Projects! You are just crushing it! I keep finding you in different places on RUclips and I get hooked on all of them! Brother you are the algorithm! Loving It! Keep rocking the Free World Sir!
You have to get in on the ground floor with all these new channels so you can get all the inside jokes
New channel idea: Mini projects.
Episode one: That time a man made a cup of coffee.
Sounds more like a megaproject imo
Think of the overruns, the delays, the extortionate cost
You think he should make another channel?
I came here from the t-35 tank video because Simon said it was a cool video and he enjoyed it. This gave me a BRILLIANT idea: top ten Simon videos that he enjoyed making. Bonus video: top ten Simon Videos that he learned the most in recording.
Ps. Just tell us what to watch Simon. We'll listen obviously. And boost your RUclips metrics and stuff too 😉
This was great, I'd love to listen to more of these.
Simon with a new channel? Imagine my shock.
Omg please continue this story. It had me feeling like i was right there with the desperate Soviet people. I could almost feel the sorrow and despair you could see on their faces. Great job Simon!
A lot of the grain taken from the farms was not used to feed the people working in the factories in the cities , a lot was sold abroad to western countries
This was really interesting and well done, and I’d really like to see more videos about the other plans in the future
I have a new hobby: collecting Simon Whistler channels. I now have 6 and I look forward to more. 😁
I wouldn't mind seeing a second episode of this! Keep up the awesome content 🍻
Excellent vid. I'm definitely up for the rest of these too... :)
This video should be more popular as its important history and as we all know... ignorance and arrogance is why it repeats itself. Much appreciated Simon and team! Keep making these videos for the betterment of the masses. Thank you for your efforts to be objective vs picking sides.
"How many lights do you see, Picard?!" -Gul Madred, Star Trek: TNG, "Chain of Command I & II"
I, for one, would be interested in hearing about the rest of the "5 Year Plans." So little of "History" is actually covered in the U.S. public school system, that I find myself continually surprised (and a bit embarrassed) by how much I don't know about some of the most important events in world history. I have a much better appreciation for the importance of not simply "learning history," but rather UNDERSTANDING the complexities which lead to important events and the consequences thereafter.
I was familiar with the "2 + 2 = 5" reference to the novel "1984," and understood that it was more about submission/mind control than arithmetic, but I was not aware of its actual use in Soviet Propaganda, nor its meaning in that specific context and in the greater context of the Soviet industrialization plans. That adds several layers of depth to something I previously thought I was quite familiar with. I wonder what else is contained in the subsequent "Plans." =)
THERE ARE 4 LIGHTS
Mega project idea : Danny’s spread sheets and filing system.
I look forward to your side piece. Thanks I was just saying I need more channels of yours lol :) good idea to get multiple channels. Good show again.
Thanks Simon. That was a great vid.
If you do that, then you should do Mao's Great Leap Forward next.
And the Cultural Revolution, Mao's later monstrous madness.
People always underestimate the USSR...but the fact they were in million man casualty wars from ww1, the revolution, and ww2, they came really far in such a short time and even managed to send people into space in just 15 years after ww2.
@Anthony Swiss my bad, typo thanks for catching it
This story is indeed beyond tragic, yet I think it's important that people hear it. I hope we can hear more about these 5 year plans, awful though they may be.
Mid 50’s ( I was 10 ) I somehow acquired a 1940’s stand up RCA radio with short wave frequencies on the dial. I remember listening to Radio Moscow a bunch of times and there was a lot of talk about 5 year plans. Mostly about agriculture I think. I still recall the “chimed” ( like bells) musical announcement that you had tuned into the right frequency. They also played the morbid funeral march when someone of importance had died.
Jesus, Simon. ANOTHER CHANNEL?! You’re out of control!
Just wait until you find out he just started another channel yesterday, called xplrd.
it was 300 PERCENTILES below, but 700% below the expected.
Youre right this was an underappreciated video! I think it was my favourite, please do the next 5 years
This was fascinating! I am glad I watched this.
And who would have thunk that fiercely anti-communist old Henry Ford would play a major role in the Soviet drive for rapid industrialisation!
Yeah, Taylorism was heavily used in USSR's industrialization ironically.
Can you do one on the Boeing super factory in Everett Washington, USA it can fit Disney world's magic Kingdom and i believe it is the largest building by internal volume.
Similar to the tesla gigafactory 1 in Nevada which is the biggest building by area
It's not interesting, stop spamming it under every video.
@@Borsuk3344 Damn right, it really just isn't interesting, though this channel is American so they might do it as pro-Boeing propaganda, as if that corrupt company didn't have enough shills and subsidies.
Please make more of these!!
Subscribed to side projects and chasing down your 'less popular' videos on these crazy soviet economic plans 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
All they need to do is unleash the power of capitalism and they could have all that industrial growth without the death.
When Hitler invaded Russia in 1941, he invaded with over 500,000 horses.
When you get beyond the thin front line of trucks, tanks and aircraft, the German Army of 1941 was a horse drawn army.
And due to this lack of oil - the German invasion routes usually followed the train lines
Ever watched Potential History's videos on the Nazi war "machine"?
I'd love to hear more about the other 5 year plans. Not something I know much about, and your videos make everything so interesting! It's a shame that not all of your videos get the attention they deserve
Love the content from this channel, would like to see another 5 year plan video.
Simon! This is an intervention! Stop starting new channels! You're not burning the candle at both ends, you are weilding a flamethrower against a tealight!
I thought he was setting fire to the candle factory- having first doused it in napalm
@@MercenaryPen shhhh! Don't give him ideas, or we'll see him starting a band called Napalm Candles with their own channel next month!
He didn't listen to you. He started another one yesterday. Called xplrd.
@@currykingwurst6393 he was never going to listen. Cocaine is a hell of a drug. Allegedly.
5 Year Plan. Also known as: "How many million lives this time around, comrade?"
"Yes."
I’m looking forward for the rest!👍
This is a good video and topic. Please continue.
I'd say Simon really needs to get a hobby but its seems like his hobby is collecting RUclips channels.
AN-2, really cool mass-produced soviet flying tractor. Just an awesome plane with 1000s still flying today.
Subscribed. Keep up the good work!
Alex in Yr 10B found this really interesting and really loves your programmes. Do lots!
