This is an absolutely first rate documentary about the Soviet Union of the 1950's, with a minimum of propaganda. Anybody born after 1990 who wonders what the place was really like couldn't do better.
This is absolutely from 1956. First, the film itself says so, even though you have to read it through the never to be damned enough watermark. Secondly, the index of Army Films says so. Annnd there's the fact that Stalin was still alive in 1951.
The closing credits read MCMLVI (1956).
This film is dated wrong. It refers to Stalin's death. Stalin died in 1953
That’s what they want you to think! 😂
Wow, I can’t believe how many people have got their knickers in a knot over a mistake regarding the year this was filmed, ok it’s a mistake and I am sure P.F can easily rectify that very very small point. Personally I am watching to see how things were seen through American eyes during this era, and it’s very interesting and different to today, except the transportation modes and infrastructure, I am pretty sure those farming implements are still in use today, and the women working in the fields, they a definitely still there, come rain, shine, or howling sub-zero weather.
Thanks for sharing this interesting and informative film P.F. 😀👍🇬🇧🏴
No, it's not a small point. Facts are facts. Why are some viewers so sensitive about criticism of the video? I see this in the comments on almost every video, even when the content is really, seriously incorrect. All I see is effusive praise for careless work. You do the content provider a disservice. Constructive criticism is a good thing. If mistakes are not pointed out, they will not be corrected, and will propagate. You seem to be "sure that PF can easily rectify that very very small point". It's been 2 years, and it is still not rectified. Also, PF is not a person, and I don't think you have to protect it's feelings.
I take them at their word when they say, "We encourage viewers to add comments and, especially, *to provide additional information* about our videos by adding a comment!" Mistakes are "additional information".
BTW if have made any errors, feel free to correct me.
I didn't learn anything in particular.
But it was very interesting, nonetheless.
Thank you for posting it.
I like the old films 🎞️🎞️🎬🎥
I'd like to see the GRU equivalent for the United States
some would argue the FBI are who you're looking for....except minus the BOATLOADS of torture and MILLIONS of deaths......(or did GRU only commit HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of deaths?)
@@BigDaddy-yp4mi GRU was military.
All in all a fairly even handed and non polemical evaluation.
You should keep in mind that this is 1951 - only 6 years after the end of a devastating war, during which the SU lost 20 million people and part of its territory was occupied and scorched. He keeps comparing it to the US, where no single factory was bombed!
There was another United States Army film made about The Soviet Union during WWII. It was singing the praises of The Soviet Union. I cannot find it anywhere on RUclips, although it was quite easy to find before the Russian Invasion of Ukraine. Can anyone here help?
Only one worker get electric hammer on the dam. Ha, everyone else its picks
Nice film - although said made in 1951 but @22.53 say's slave labor is on the decrease since Stalins death - he died in March 1953 - US Army must have been lying? thoughts?
Don't blame the army. Periscope Film made the mistake.
Maybe the footage is from 51, whilst the military voice over was 56?
@@evanfehr3819 Or maybe an American training film made in 1956 included clips from Soviet news reels made in 1951.
"Certain areas of the Soviet railway need modernization"
Cold comfort for the prisoners sent in cattle cars to the Gulags.
Strange... in mining of Soviet uranium mine is not appear....
Prison of Nations.
I have noticed you have a bot lurking in the comment field-Name of LOGAN.
That Ben Hur music.
Вова was only 9 when this film was made.
Boba Fett?
I was a Communist for the FBI
@Mike B Haw haw haw
Good American Propaganda
Never ever , trust the yanks ...
Calm down. Periscope Film made a trivial error. It's 1956, not 1951.
wrong date in the title, and you're canceling the 'yanks' 🙄
@@impCaesarAvg It's easy to see how the mistake could have been made, too. Footage from the years when Stalin was in control, with portraits of Stalin prominent, can be seen at several points in this film.
Empire? Did he call SU an empire? Nice - a devil sees a devil in everyone 😂
As the film pointed out early on, people were paid on the basis of skill and educational level, work value and output. Sounds pretty capitalist to me.
