USSR TV End of Day Sign-off with Anthem (Translated into English + Subtitled)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 июл 2019
- Before the advent of twenty-four-hour television, channels would shut off broadcasts at a given time each night and show a "sign-off" to tell viewers to turn off the TV. Most channels all around the world showed the national anthem accompanied by patriotic images or videos; others (Like RTÉ in Ireland) would broadcast a prayer or religious song. I think this version was broadcast on national holidays in the USSR.
The practice of "signing-off" has largely grown out of fashion around much of the world because TV channels either show programming through the night or fill the wee hours with advertising. However, a few local stations in the USA have reintroduced the practice as a means to instil patriotism and Radio 4 in the UK also still plays "God Save the Queen" daily.
Through Google Translate I found this on Russian RUclips and added some subtitles. It claimed to show the CCCP TB (Soviet equivalent of BBC/NHK) end of day sign off from the 1980s, although in the years since I have suspected that it may be a reconstruction.
To aid English-language viewers, I have added subtitles throughout this video showing a translation of the original Russian anthem. Please turn on "closed captions" and select "English" if you would like to see them (the translation is an original by myself, feel free to use it for any use whatsoever).
This video is particularly interesting because it features the famous "turn off your TV" notice at the very end. Legend has it that this was included because Soviet TVs had a nasty habit of exploding and starting house fires when they were left on overnight.
I translated and uploaded this USSR TV startup video for fellow anthem-enthusiasts and it is NOT a political endorsement/message of any kind. Please keep the comments civil. Furthermore, Russian copyright law declares that all Soviet state symbols including this anthem are in the public domain.

Cat's out the bag, genie's out the bottle, this is the anthem of the dream of a better world.
And in addition to his many more serious crimes, fuck Putin for stealing the tune of the people's hymn to be the national anthem of his capitalist-imperialist zombie state.
Finally, someone else who knows russia (as well as america) is not on the side of the people despite using Soviet symbols to invoke nostalgia to promote petty nationalism.

There are no "bad renditions" of a national anthem. This one is good but listen to this more recent one. :)

Older TV sets were overheating (which shortened their lifespan) and even keen to broke, if left on for too long with static image - and a standard testcard is one.

While ironically led by some of the evilest people in history. They did all those great things yet murdered millions and enslaved a continent for decades.
I believe more Soviet people died under Stalin's rule than died from Hitler's war in Europe starting in 1939.
All at the expense of tens of millions of lives. USSR sucked. I lived in it. I know.
Yeah, thanks to a sociopathic thug who had no understanding of economics or finance. Stalin wanted to close a 100-year industrial gap with the West in 10 years, and he killed or exiled anyone who got in the way.

Thus why they drive a T-34-85 and make some troops wear 1940's equipment and weapons.
This comment is underrated
I got a copyright claim on a soviet song I uploaded in this channel so IDK
I'm not even Russian but I felt the echos of patriotism in this. It's fascinating to see how the people of the USSR were shown their nation. Seeing things like this with a such a grand song proclaiming the glory of your nation. It feels like you are on the road to glory and greatness. Seeing this before going to bed would really fill someone's head with pride as they go to sleep thinking, "Tomorrow I will rise and do my part to keep that glory moving forward." I can see why anyone who lived when this aired would feel nostalgic for that time when the future seemed bright and boundless.
That’s why it’s called propaganda
Yeah thats because you are young and naive, they wouldnt show you the gulags or the kgb methods
@@user-og8zx2fe4n I know I'm naive but far from young. I'm 41. Maybe it helped that this video is like what they played in the US when I was young.

Playing the National Anthem over something inspirational before shutting down broadcasting used to be common in other countries, too. I'm missing it. Nowadays, the time slot is occupied by extra long commercials, game shows and soft porn.
It's a great shame indeed that the TV sign-off has died out. It seems many TV channels would rather earn the relatively meagre income of 2 minute commercials instead of demonstrating a bit of healthy patriotism
TreeMovies there’s nothing “healthy” about patriotism

Edit 2: I now realise what I said was wrong and that I’m thinking of nationalism not patriotism.
@@thelordofforeheads2839 I disagree. I can love my country without hating others or thinking mine is superior to others. I grew up on an island in the North Sea.

No, not at all, it's just where I grew up and I'm attached to it.
@@thelordofforeheads2839 You're mixing it with nationalism. Patriotism is loving your country and being an active citizen, but not throwing shit on other countries, and being ready to defend your country or do something else for it. Nationalism is shitting all over foreigners, immigrants, other cultures, nations and races and is an early stage of fascism.
We still have this sort of broadcast sign offs in my country even now...

@Ivan Ivan some Russians hated communism, others liked it and others were neutral. By using the logic of your statement I could say that all Americans hate the democratic party or the republican party, but it's not true, because you know people can have different opinions even if they speak the same language and live in the same country
I’ve read that most Russians that are old enough to remember have nostalgic feelings about the Soviet Union but it’s similar to an old relationship. You remember the good parts but have amnesia about why that person drove you crazy and why you left.
Some hated it, some loved it, but 80% of RSFSR's population was against desolvation of USSR.
It wasn't a revolution, it was a military coup...
Thousands of people were standing on Red Square for weeks , until democratic government removed them by tanks.
People wanted reds to come back, but will to survive and feeling of hunger were stronger. There was no time for rioting.
/Love/ /Peace I’m assuming that RSFSR means the Russia part of the Soviet Union? What percent of the non-Russia part of the Soviet Union wanted to stay in?

It's probably because we all know the reality of USSR. And pretty much everyone would agree with me that most people if not everyone came here to see what kind of "entertainment" people were getting back then from something that is still relevant to this day and by that I obviously mean the mass media. It's a lot different now than it used to be back then, in the same exact country. I can only guess but you probably feel sad because you can realize that a thing like this could literally brainwash millions of people and you probably feel bad for them. At least this is what I truly feel.
The reason this makes me sad is it shows a beautiful depiction of the USSR, the most idealized and perfect version of what the Party thought they were. In real life, the USSR was a far more depressing place because of the Party's authoritarian/statist interpretation of socialism. It's sad because it shows a reality that could have been.
Funny and a little creepy how they have a caption telling you to turn the TV off. The buzzer makes it sound like it will blow up any second if you leave it on.

For USSR I always think of Sergey Fyodorovich Akhromeyev. Born in a poor peasant family, 4 month after USSR came to existence. Got education because of the equality from communism Fought against Nazi, watch the country grow into super power, plot invasion of Afghanistan, and watch the country collapse. He killed himself the very day the communist party dissolved, and also exactly 4 months before USSR ends. The experiment covers exactly one generation, and it failed. But for this very generation they are the product of USSR, and will always be remembered in the human history.
It's quite possible he was killed. Such people like Akhromeev don't kill themselves, as they've battled through hell on Earth. There was a lot of strange deaths of possible leaders of socialist opposition against 'democratic' reforms of Gorbachev and Yakovlev, starting in 1987.

The "it is now safe to turn off your compu--uhm--TV" sign is meant to protect the CRT from burn out. There were no screen savers back in the day and even if there were, it made no sense to keep all that broadcasting equipment powered on just to prevent some idiot's left on TV from developing burn spots.
Burn out doesn't mean "catching fire" - CRTs are coated with a special substance that emits light when hit by the CRT's ray gun - its how they draw an image. Now, if you leave your TV open, that coating eventually will start wearing off in the most bombarded areas. This is why on old monitors you'll see those burn spots taking the shape of text characters because that was the most displayed thing.
Someone probably associated that buzzer sound with a bomb and made a joke about TVs exploding and others ran with it because it fits the age old myth that Soviet technology was so backwards it had to be comically broken.

You are a citizen in a nation where everyone is happy about their decent life just like your life is. And you are living in a nation with an very diverse culture, where everyone likes to share their differences and uniqueness, yet everyone is united in being gratitude for your decent life.
It is beautiful.
If the politicians hadn't been so selfish, and corrupt in the USSR, it would truly have been the greatest nation on earth. I'm not really a fan of totalarian states but the core idea of communism, and socialism isn't the worse.
Yep, in communism, especially where your entire existence is fought to the death by the bourgeois, a decent life for even most is genuinely a miracle, and its amazing that the USSR managed to accomplish that in its own country, let along manage to try to help support it in other.
_"it features the famous "turn off your TV" notice at the very end. Legend has it that this was included because Soviet TVs had a nasty habit of exploding and starting house fires when they were left on overnight"_

Everyone else’s 80’s aesthetic: stranger things
Mine:
the 80s were good till '85 when gorbachev took power...
Flamer Gorbachev was a decent leader for the ussr. If it weren’t for him, the soviets would last about 10 years longer, when maybe some other leader would destruct the Soviet Union.
Unless your a low effort troll or just don’t see through Marx’s rhetoric
@@TisLasagnus so u basically called a good leader someone who destroyed his own country, your words: "if it wasn't for him ussr would last 10 years longer". are you dumb or are u just acting dumb?
Flamer I thought he took power in ‘84 but still good point
Flamer I guess I wasn’t clear on that. He did this on purpose, i suppose maybe the word Destroy was a bit overtone. The Soviet Union held no good in this world. However, what I getting from your response is free speech leads to harm? Technically, Gorbachev didn’t even dissolve the Soviet Union. That was Boris Yeltsins doing (good man). Gorbachev destroyed the sad little imagery of Lenin and Marx, and would’ve maybe brought the Soviet Union to a better life. Otherwise, Russia would still be under an authoritarian famine. Some could say that because of Putin, that still remains, but that’s besides the point.
The Soviets weren’t a good nation, and I don’t see the problem with it dissolving.
As a Brit, this has to be one of the most empowering anthems of all time. Long live the Soviets 🫡 ☭ 🟥
I used to love watching USSR football team as they played beautiful fast attacking football.
4:16 When I was a child, I would always turn off the TV as soon as I heard the anthem... For some reason, the message “Не забудьте выключить телевизор” (→ don’t forget to turn off the TV), coupled with that sound, scared me a lot, and I never wanted to hear it!
Yeah they were supposed to catch on fire or some shit
That thing lowkey look dystopian af tbh
Раньше по радио в 6 утра и в полночь исполняли этот гимн, я любил его слушать в детстве, часть которого пришлась на советские времена
Woah you lived at Russia
@@epic_gamingyt Yeah, my family originally came from China... My parents moved to the USSR in 1982, and I was born there in 1983... We were one of the only two Chinese families in the entire city. After the fall of the Soviet Union, we migrated to Italy, which is where I live right now!

OUR END OF DAY SIGN OFF
the saddest moment, really miss you
4:20 - That noise at the end sounds like the messenge in the screen would be "Your television will blow up in 15 seconds"
It scared the hell outta me!🤣
That's actually what would happen if you left the TV on for too long. The beeping was to wake up people who had accidentally left their TV on before going to sleep.
'80s British TV also made a noise at the end of the night (but of course it was more restrained).
In Australia it was a 4 hour long BEEEEEEEEEP! Really loud and terrible to wake up to especially if you had a few too many drinks
Might have been 6 hours if I think about it, but man it was so fucking annoying
This anthem is so empowering it makes you feel like a citizen who's lived in the ussr their whole life.
👌👌👌
If only it went a tad bit more democratic
Yeah, I totally feel the fear that chekists will break my door down in the middle of the night
They did implement more personal freedoms in the 90s, that's why they collapsed.
I don't think being a citizen was that empowering. I feel more of a melancholic soviet era depression.
It's 3 in the morning and I'm watching this help.
it was the most beautiful anthem
It is now Russian
Me: Propaganda is terrible
Also me watching this: wow the soviet union looks like great place to live
Well why don't you go a live there and say that?
@@user-pt1ok8rg1u i know this is propaganda. thats the joke!
@@SirMr10
I do apologise I get it now lol
the ussr wasnt that bad, it was 6/10 non logarithmic at the time
IGN gives the Soviet Union an 8/10. It had a little something for everybody!
Amazing!❤
Imagine being a young kid, easily startled by sudden noises, it's late at night, the anthem has finished, and then suddenly you hear BEP. BEP. BEP. BEP. BEP. That would've sent me into a panic attack with my idiot brain
im not russian or pro communist or anything
but damn this ANTHEM *SLAPS*
I think we can all agree that socialists at least know how to compose good music
This one and the old East Germany one as well
@@robezy0 Well, Socialists were not totally wrong. The extreme rich corporators are always against a policy which ensures better-paid wages and fully giving taxes on time. Countries adopting extreme ends of both capitalism and communism have always put themselves into trouble. That's the reason Social Democracy is good.

It’s no wonder why so many former Soviet citizens look back on the USSR with such nostalgia.
Because we could say "No, fuck America".

@@darnit1944 You criticising the Party Comrade?
@@darnit1944 Look at your British the so called ''democracy'',which in reality is HYPOCRISY for FOOLS, for in it one can ONLY elect pre-selected proverbial
puppets (from their own political parties) and then your elected politicians implement inputs extended to them by the Global Village mafia...There is NO
referendum like in Ancient Greece and thus you are excluded from decision making process.If you disagree with your ''politicians'' you can challenge them
in the court of ''LAW'' where justice is traded like commodities for money....In Ancient Greece elected best members of Greek society were called public
Servants and they were charged with implementing what the Greek people decided,whereas in your smelly system they like the terrorist impose on you what
they and the Global mafia want.Communism was not perfect but was better than your Hypocrisy...And in Communism the power was in the hands of the Communist
Party,while in your system the power in in the hands of the Satanic Trinity made up of the big business,judiciary and the politicians...Wake up
@@Happy-kc2yr Cut the bs. I'm not fully pro democracy either.
And also, i applaud your effort for crafting such lengthy comment. If you are only copy pasting, don't waste my time.
The thing about TVs exploding wasn’t because of poorly made TVs, it’s because of poorly regulated power lines. At night, because of less electronics drawing power, the power line voltage would increase and overload appliances such as TVs and overheat them or cause them to break entirely. This could at times cause the CRT glass to warp and even explode, or at the least get terrible burn-in.
I heard its mostly becaue the front CRT had some imperfections that caused it to explode, internal stress of the material (glass) basicly
Not very likely, anyone waking up to pee at night would have a surprise firework instead of a toilet light then. The most technical explanation I've heard is vacuum tube electronics being too sensitive to many hours of non-stop operation, not exactly an explosion though, but apparently a real fire hazard and a hassle of getting replacement parts. (Kudos to Soviet stuff being user-serviceable btw)
Another possible explanation is that the warning was just a friendly reminder aimed at saving electricity and TV explosions being just a common myth.
Ummmm ok i guess?
This happens in Wales too my tv exploded at night in 2014
I always come here. I find it so powerful and energetic. I am not saying in political sense. The music is just so powerful, glorious
This brings back so many good childhood memories 🥰 CCCP
this makes me feel nostalgia for something i never experienced
