@@KeyleeTamirianJust because you like the cartoon or find it "relaxing" doesn't mean the cartoon isn't offensive. It's so obvious it was made by ignorant people. Speaking as a Russian who grew up watching Soviet cartoons lol
Growing up in Eastern Europe I will say this, on children's TV programmes we had beautiful cartoons of many diverse folk tales from different cultures including stories from fellow Eastern European tales, Asian, African and Native American and I miss the artistic styles so much when I compare them to what is now mainstream children's cartoons. The science fiction stories were also out of this world, aliens were not depicted as green beings in a horror or thriller category but rather beautiful life forms different from ours. Gosh I miss my childhood cartoons so much.
I noticed their animations as well for diverse people. They often drew diverse characters to have the facial features that make sense for their heritage, but not caricatures of overly-plumbed black lips or slits for asian eyes. It really is sad to me as a russian to see that the commoner now has a very western idea of africa and the east.
Yeah the Soviet Union was far from perfect but at least there was optimism for the future and a sense that society was working towards a brighter future, now everywhere in the world is the same capitalist drudgery where you’re told the current status quo is perfectly fine
During the times of the Russian Empire, an African becomes a deputy and a great mathematician of Russia, and his son Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin becomes the face of the Russian literary world (at that time, slavery was flourishing in America). The USSR starts a war with colonialism. They give Africans weapons. They build international universities all over the country and teach Africans all professions so that Africans can build their own strong and independent countries. There are many photos and posters with the friendship of peoples, where blacks, Russians and Asians stand together, creating peace and friendship. The USSR also gives Africa colossal amounts of food for free and helps it survive after colonialism by Western countries. (Meanwhile, in Europe there are human zoos where Africans are put on display behind bars as exhibits, together on the same level as other animals) + Western countries create terrorists. under the pretext of protection, they put up military bases supposedly to help, when in fact the military is guarding gold mining, oil refineries and the rest, taking resources from Africa (the era of neocolonialism). Modern times - despite Russia's war in Ukraine ... Russia is sending the Wagner private military company to drive out the terrorists. to ensure peace and EQUAL economic relations with Africa, giving peace and prosperity. They have resumed and increased the number of free places in universities to educate Africans. They are giving technologies. principles of irrigation of land for food. A system is being developed on how to make drinking water from ocean water. Food is sent free of charge, including free delivery. A huge number of Russian schools are being built in order for Africans to receive a better education and skills. Recently, Russia was the first in the world to create a vaccine against monkeypox, throwing all its efforts into helping its African friends. Russia proposes a reform in the UN so that a representative of Africa would be in the UN Security Council and on equal terms with America, Russia and China to defend the interests of the African people. + a representative of Latin America, India and the Arab world. + joining BRICS, which would give independence and investments (today Burkina Faso asked for this). Nuclear power plants are already being built at Russia's expense. And after some time they will be transferred to these countries. We are already seeing how America and France are leaving Africa. And Africans have the Russian flag and a T-shirt with Vladimir Putin in their hands, because this is a real friendship tested by time.

But in the same time soviet troops was sitting on Czechoslovakia, Poland, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria since 1944 and steal many stoff from Europa during 50 years!. Russian such "innocent". They STEAL Uranium from Poland, Czech and build atomic bombs with them thay say sometimes to Polish "we attack Warsaw with Atom/ nuclear""......
The symbolism in this short film is pretty impressive. Each of the animals represent something brought to Africa by Europeans to control the natives. Religion, laws, and police. Only when he allowed the elephant to live in his land did the elephant suddenly invent the concept of property ownership to take away the ownership of the man. Religion is used to justify his suffering and make it seem like a noble thing. The police and laws represented by two of the animals also work together to stop him from forcefully taking what belongs to him like how they told him not to protest against them. Overall good stuff. I enjoyed this short film.
Actually, the whole marxist-economical study is well outlined in this film. It shows how the institutions of the bourgeois state always protect the interests of the bourgeoisie, : exploitation of the workers, of the land, no matter what country. And the end of the movie is when the worker sees his class enemy and overthrows him from the ruling role... The only thing I don't like in this film is that there is only one man, when in fact the exploited people are in the majority and that is their strength, only by realizing the unity of their interests they can take control of life in their own hands.

@@denisl2760 yeap, sure. Still, if to respect the author's view in the context of this cartoon, then the better translation comes with "Human". "Man" is just a broader term which, of course, comprises humanity as a whole, a human being, but may be understood as just a male which is definitely not something that the author tried to stipulate here. You know, something similar happened once to Tolstoy's "War and Peace". In pre-communist Russian language there were two words "Мiр" (people's secular world) and "Мир" (no war, peace, harmony) which sounded absolutely similar. After communists came to power, they got rid of "i" in favor of "и" and the word "Мир" comprised both meanings. Therefore what Tolstoy meant in the title became a strong dispute which is still relevant today (with tons of letters from Tolstoy, his relatives, early publications, later publications of his novel, which sometimes turn out to be fake). That's why I prefer to dot the i's.
@@denisl2760 btw, do you know how Pepsi translated it's "Come alive! You're in a Pepsi generation!" in China? Google it. I guarantee you some necromancy vibes. Or how Hillary Clinton in the times of a warm up between Moscow and Washington decided to make a symbolic button with a caption "Reload". She and Lavrov (Russian foreign minister) were supposed to push it in front of cameras in order to underline russian-american mutual understanding etc. The thing is that she decided to put the caption "Reload" in Russian and her translators decided to save a few letters so that "Reload" ("переЗАгрузка") became "Overload" ("перегрузка"). American media said something like "We were one syllable away from the Third World War".

I love this. At this time drawing an African man in a dignified way was unusual. Strong, of good moral character, and intelligent too. Very good! They humanized they oppressed and dehumanized the oppressor which is good on them!
@Samar3n You need to check your books on that. The soviet regime killed even more people than the Nazis did. They didn't have colonies, because their predecessor (the russian empire) didn't have either, so they exploited their own people. When it comes to Africa, they gave them guns to kill each other and helped tyrants to seize power.
There are many interesting stories between Russians and Africans. For example, one of the most renown Russian generals, Abram Petrovich Gannibal, was an African. Also he is a great granddad of Alexander Pushkin, the greatest Russian poet.
Ivan Abramovich Gannibal ( led a detachment of the Imperial Black Sea Fleet, which besieged and captured the Turkish fortress of Navarin during the Russo-Turkish War (1768-1774), and took part in the founding of the city of Kherson. Gannibal's ultimate military rank was Général en Chef.
@@kevinhughes720 no.... actually his origin isn't clear, since in his biography he doesn't state exactly where he was from, only that his father was a nobility from Logon sity, and because in Africa there are many places called Logon, the discussions of his place of origin were goings between historians in Russia for literal centuries. Nowadays the most correct version is considered to be Principality of Logon in Central Sudan (on the border of modern Cameroon and Chad). And he definitely wasn't white, though his actual appearance is also unclear, since there aren't any lifetime portraits of him. but it is a fact that he was black, many people at the time wrote about it

Native Russian here. Some corrections. 5:53 - he said "You see, *kid"*. Not a big deal, tbf, but the tone is different; 7:28 - he called him not "r3t@rded" but "backwards". "Отсталый" can, indeed, be a derogatory term if used in conjecture with "умственно" ("умственно-отсталый" = "feeble-minded") but in this context it was probably used in the main meaning which is "someone, who is behind" = "backwards" (as in "backwards nation"); 7:58 - technically, Elephant said "He must give what he has", not "everything he has". However, I give it a pass because in English this sounds weird and intention is the same; 9:12 and forwards - "господин" in Russian has multiple meanings, including "Lord" or "Master" (the root "господ-" means "ruler of something", for example Lord in Russian Bible is "Господь"). However in this case it is a honorific, very close to "mister" or "sire". It is used towards someone who is of higher standing than you, or as a form of respect. It was pretty widespread in the Imperial times but when Soviets came, they started to use "товарищ" ("camrade") which had no hierachical underlines - both Joseph Stalin, the biggest guy in the country, and hypothetical Ivan Petrov, simple factory worker, were "товарищ". I point it out, because it had ideological meaning to the Soviets, that "Collective West" was using "mister", not "camrade".
Maybe because its USSR propaganda they got like 6 black men total in Russia they can pretend they would be so loving and caring without putting any of the work.

American cartoons : - used to be about "animal good guys vs human villans" trope - used to make fun, in a racist way, of non-white people - used to be anti-communist and anti-russian This cartoon :
As a South African, the Soviets helped us a lot during aparthied. Not just us. Countries across Africa. Same for Asia and Latin America. They were generally the friend of the opprssed. They were also perhaps the only reason Natzi's didn't take over Europe. Yet after all the US has done to the world, they continue to portray Soviets negatively in the media, and portray the Americans as friendly and heroic. It is very ironic and kind of comical to me.
I see that a group of people in the comments, have this weird instinct to associate the animals within the Soviet Cartoon to represent nations, despite it not being made in the western mass media and therefore not the same concepts. Knowing that depictions of class war and anything related to a workers struggle is never to be rare during It's communist media of the cold war, I think my opinions of what these animals represent are at least not far off from the creator's truth. Rhino: Clergy & western religion Crocodile: Burecrats or Corporations Hyena: Military and any kind of colonial order Lion: either colonial administration or the imperial governments based in Europe Elephant: the usual non-native settler refusing to intigrate
just to be clear, i don't care about the politics, just that i want to understand why things are the way they are. 'A simple stretch of what one wise person once said': "you have to understand people, then everything else will make sence"
Rather, the fact is that many of these images successfully fall on certain countries, so clothes also contribute to this. Hyena is dressed as a French soldier/officer.

Some context. The cartoon is adapted from Jomo Kenyatta's short story: "The Gentleman of The Jungle". The animals are characters from Kenyatta's story. Of course, there's much that was added to the story in the cartoon and you may very well be right that the Soviet creators intended that.
What a powerful story!Honestly, it brought me to tears. I was emotional while watching it, and this ending brought me sort of happiness and relief. I really love that they oppose a black MAN to ANIMAL-colonisers. That hits hard. And I really love the depiction of African beauty. Love from Russia 💪🏻
Где вы видели,чтобы в Советском союзе негров называли "черный" человек? Их называют Просто человек или негр без обозначения Цвета кожи!!! Слово негр в русском языке совершенно нейтральное и происходит от латинского негро
Russia was just upset they didn't get to benefit from Africa, look at what they did in chechnya, afghanistan, georgia and in Ukraine in very recent history.
И СССР помогал Африке не только мультиками, точно так же как Китаю, Индии и многим другим странам. К сожалению просто, многие его добрые дела оболганы "звериной цивилизацией", многие хотят, чтобы про них забыли

He says human, not man. There is a difference. Russian language doesn’t have the word “man” as representation of humanity, it’s only the word “human” “человек“
@@valuker я не говорила, что в русском языке мы не используем слово «человек» как указание мужчины, что в принципе логично, так как мужчина это человек, но мы точно не используем такие слова как «мужчина» или «муж», а тем более «мужик» для указания человечества, как это делается в Английском языке «man», «mankind». А в данном конкретном мультфильме говорится «человек», а не «молодой человек», что важно для контекста, ибо сравнение идет человечества и человечности в целом со зверями.
people saying this is a surprisingly human depiction of Africa for it's time - this was what the soviets did everywhere, it was the founding ideals which the socialists had fostered all the way back in the early 1900's. While the rest of the world wasn't even debating if having black people in zoo's was ok, the soviets pledged their full support to decolonisation and self determination for Africa, Arabia, China, America etc. This is the main principle of socialism, that regardless of background, race, religion or culture everyone is equal.
Он это сделал в основном потому, что у него не было своих колоний. Правда потом сообразил и стал захватывать новые земли рядом и устраивать войны в странах третьего мира на пару с США. К сожалению когда империя говорит правду это большое исключение
This is cool and all, but don't pretend like soviet union was a place for the people. If black people were there back then, they'd get horrible treatment, just like every other nationality.
Indeed this cartoon was ahead of it's time in the contrast of an accepted agenda of the West regarding Africans. I am from Russia, not a communist, just an ordinary guy who was born after the dissolution of the USSR. But I tell you, there is something magnificent and charming about all those Soviet cartoons. I'm really glad I grew up watching them. And there is something about the Soviet boomers. I think most of us (people from the post-Soviet countries) will agree that the elderly generations have courtesy, they were raised right, they have good moral code. Maybe it's the same everywhere.
I was born in Brazil, a country in South American that makes part of the Western World. I can say I also relate with the last part of your comment and that's pretty much how I feel about my father that was born during the Military Regime (1964-1985).

Tribute to writer : Jomo Kenyatta(African natinalist and first president of Kenya) I read This story in my school text book and it also has relations with india , it was Used to attack british indirectly riginaly This story was written to critcize colonial british powers by famous leader of Kenya Story Name : The Gentlemen of the Jungle BY : Jomo Kenyatta You would like to know about him : Jomo Kenyatta, (1893?-1978), was an African political leader, first president of Kenya (1964-78). A Kikuyu, he was one of the earliest and best-known African nationalist leaders. As secretary of his tribal association (1928), he campaigned for land reform and African political rights. This Story has connection with INDIAN Freedom struggle as well , IT was used to attack British colonial powers indirectly . These British use to call brown or blacks uncivilized and showed themself as "Gentlemen" They were "Gentle" Only in appearance and the words of mouth . FROM inside "Cruel and Harsh". It makes perfect sence "That Junglemen was The real Gentlemen "
Despite how memeable this video is, as a black guy i appreciate that the soviets attempted to depict black people with dignity cause we all know how American cartoons depicted black people during these same periods.
this is soviet union cold war propaganda ... meant to make america look distasteful during the cold war where usa and the soviet union were vying for the partnership of many nations during their recovery from ww2
Well this came out in the 60s so by then technically The Peanuts had already introduced a Black character and cartoons weren't AS racist, not all the time at least 😐
Idk why people are so suprised that Soviet cartoon depicted africans as humans. Soviet union was all about equality between people and races. But to be honset other soviet cartoons were indeed depicted tribes pretty сaricatured, but it was not racism or something, they were showing key features of different people.
That's not true. Sovet Union terminated almost 1/4 of my nation during the 1945 and other Caucasian nations, and not only Caucasian, but also some others from north and Sibir. Russians are not different from americans, europeans and jews. This cartoon is only to make the other capitalistic nations to look in bad light, while themselves look good.
You've never heard them call europeans (geyropeans), people with dark hair and eyes (blackbutts), mongoloid people (narroweyed), yakut people (chukcha) and so on. And they really hate black people, you should read under movies with black stars, how russians think that black people are ugly as hell, that they should never be main leads in movies, etc.

Absolutely. That's why I pretend to not speak English, when arrogant English speaker tourist bother me on the street, asking me indications in a rude manner.
The only problem is that currently Russia is racist af This cartoon was made by a land that no longer exists Sadly all the good there was to soviet union is long torn down...

During the times of the Russian Empire, an African becomes a deputy and a great mathematician of Russia, and his son Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin becomes the face of the Russian literary world (at that time, slavery was flourishing in America). The USSR starts a war with colonialism. They give Africans weapons. They build international universities all over the country and teach Africans all professions so that Africans can build their own strong and independent countries. There are many photos and posters with the friendship of peoples, where blacks, Russians and Asians stand together, creating peace and friendship. The USSR also gives Africa colossal amounts of food for free and helps it survive after colonialism by Western countries. (Meanwhile, in Europe there are human zoos where Africans are put on display behind bars as exhibits, together on the same level as other animals) + Western countries create terrorists. under the pretext of protection, they put up military bases supposedly to help, when in fact the military is guarding gold mining, oil refineries and the rest, taking resources from Africa (the era of neocolonialism). Modern times - despite Russia's war in Ukraine ... Russia is sending the Wagner private military company to drive out the terrorists. to ensure peace and EQUAL economic relations with Africa, giving peace and prosperity. They have resumed and increased the number of free places in universities to educate Africans. They are giving technologies. principles of irrigation of land for food. A system is being developed on how to make drinking water from ocean water. Food is sent free of charge, including free delivery. A huge number of Russian schools are being built in order for Africans to receive a better education and skills. Recently, Russia was the first in the world to create a vaccine against monkeypox, throwing all its efforts into helping its African friends. Russia proposes a reform in the UN so that a representative of Africa would be in the UN Security Council and on equal terms with America, Russia and China to defend the interests of the African people. + a representative of Latin America, India and the Arab world. + joining BRICS, which would give independence and investments (today Burkina Faso asked for this).

I clicked on this video out of curiosity. And wow, it exceeded all of my expectations. Who would have thought that the Soviets in 1963 would understand the effects of colonialism much more than most people today?
I lOVE this Cartoon I am A Proud African Americam woman This is my first time seeing us in a cartoon looking like a human a handsome MAN Thank you Russia
There is a Soviet poster of the BSSR (from V. Solovyov and G. Klevko): "All over the world the shackles are breaking - this is the echo of our revolution" (And in the picture there is a black gigachad breaking the shackles)
I remember one with a beautiful play-doll in the rumbles of a destroyed building, with the writing "after the next World War, there will be no children left playing...", making clear the threat of a nuclear holocaust, and how Soviet citizens should always keep in mind, that war is to be avoided at all cost...!!! At the same time, Americans were popularizing the term "Nuke´em", as if the nuclear holocaust was the greatest fun ever...
USSR African caricature looks like a chad while in the USA, they were depicted in the most grotesque minstrel fashion by the "people of liberty and equality".
Wow... You can argue all you want that most, if not all of this short was just soviet propaganda. But you gotta admit that the soviets at least draw more realistic and even more respectfull the native black people in this cartoon, than any other american cartoon back then. I'm surprised that the soviets managed to draw black people very well, without exagerating them, in a extremely offensive way. Specially considering that in the USSR was not exactly a country with many black people, like in the US.
How is this Soviet propaganda? It's just for raising awareness on colonialism and their effects on the African countries. In 1963, when most of Africa was still colonized. If the US had made this, I don't think you would have been here saying it is American propaganda. But since the Soviet Union made this, you feel this.
This animation accurately represents the Soviet view on the conditions of black people around the world. There's a lot of what some would call "pure soviet propaganda" (posters, cartoons, books), all regarding the horrible situation of African-Americans in the U.S.A., for example. Look up a quote from Muhammad Ali on his visit to the USSR in 1978, talking about how he felt like a human being in Soviet land, as opposed to the discrimination he went through in the U.S. Anti-imperialism and anti-colonialism, as well as liberation of all enslaved people, is something present not only in Lenin's thought (who founded the Soviet Union), but in Marx and Engels as well. As you precisely pointed out, while the Soviets were making an accurate representation of the black man and supporting the anti-colonial movements (also with armed support) that were happening in many parts of Africa in the year this came out, the imperalists made an effort to ridicularize the African people through exaggerations and racial stereotypes. Even though the U.S. is a nation with a large number of black citizens, there is still heavy racial discrimination.
I once watched a Soviet documentary about indigenous peoples from around the world. What stroke me was how respectful they were compared to modern day documentaries. They didn't show them as uncivilized wild people, neither did they have that snobbish "big brother" tone western documentaries still have. They just showed these people's culture as it was
You have to read soviet sci fi story "Andromeda's nebula" "Tumannost Andromedi".by Ivan Efremov. There is a one of the main characters, african guy in this story, who invented warp drive. Soviet Union respected all nations.
Just some extra info.... Blacks go back to living in Russia since the 1500s and there are actually photos of Black and Russian married couples with kids. Also, Russian people never had black slaves. Although, Russians have no political correctness. And actually, I respect it.

Nope, I am a socialist and I hate the USSR, they only did those things to attract 3rd world countries to their side, just like China is doing nowadays. Inb4 you call me "imperialist pig", I'm from a 3rd world country as well (Brazil).
i dont speak russian but, this was a great cartoon !! You don't need to speak a language to understand what this is about, the gluttony of the west and their corrupt tricks. As I get older I realize I was really lied to/brainwashed about Russia, an African portrayed heroically is very rare to see in America.
El gran daño hecho por el colonialismo europeo aun deja marcas en los paises africanos 😢, como pueden salir de la pobreza los africanos si Francia se lleva sus recursos de varios paises de África.
Персонаж в советском мультфильме про колонизацию: жил человек и работал он на своей земле, как его отец и дед Американская Покахонтас: бегает по лесу и болтает с деревьями, лол
Ну это же фольклор коренных американцев - индейцев. А у народов с такой культурой это всегда что то вроде гармонии с природой и беседы с камышом😅 По факту, просто два разных подхода в ведении сюжетной линии) (Сорян, задушнил)
@Sc1ence_Amateur проблема не в этом. По факту Покахонтас у диснея показана не как индейская принцесса, а как проблемный ребёнок, запертый в теле взрослой 21 летней тёти. Тип, ладно бы она болтала с деревьями, но там абсолютно не показано, как она бы помогала своему племени. Хоть чем то, хоть как то. Для своего времени и уклада жизни она даже в Российской империи выглядела бы сумасшедшей, потому что в своем возрасте все еще имеет жениха, но так и не вышла за него. Даже тут она племени никакого толку не приносит. Все сио она делает, так это только мешает: переворачивает лодки, угарает, пытается обратить на себя внимание, как 8 летний ребенок, а в свободное от раздолбайства время бегает болтать с деревом. Яркий пример правильного повеления Покахонтас может служить Наусика из долины ветров: бля своего тяжелого времени она рано выросла и не ведет себя, как дегенерат. Она помогает своей деревне всем, летает в лес не ради развлечения, а ради полезных ресурсов и изучения этого самого леса, чтобы найти спасение от его яда. Она ведет себя так, как должна себя вести любая принцесса в любом племени такого времени. Покахонтас не делает НИ ЧЕ ГО. Только красуется, прыгает с водопада, поет песенки, развлекается и мешает жизнь просто всем вокруг. Мается без дела. Тип не видно, что она действительно принцесса, что она действительно НА СВОЕЙ ЗЕМЛЕ. Здесь негр показан работягой, который честно работает на своей земле, живет там, заботится о ней, при этом не разрушая ее. Ведет себя, как у себя дома. Он именно что привязан к своей территории и это показано просто через банальную работу. Проблема не в религии, проблема в диснее, который сделал самую нелогичную на свете вещь с принцессой общинно родового строя - нарисовал 21 летнюю бабу гиперактивным ска ребенком! В общинно родовом строе!! Просто на помню, что в те времена девушки взрослели уже в 14 лет и даже детей рожали, даже в индейских племенах. Покахонтас же ведет себя, как попаданка из 21 века, да даже для нашего времени она выглядит той еще дегенераткой, потому что даже у нас в обществе после 18 лет человек считается взрослым и может нести ответственность за себя и даже за своих уже детей. Поэтому это выглядит вдвойне странно. И обмазка в виде "ну это же для детей снимали" Всю равно эту нелогичность не решает. Видимо у диснея понимание ребенка идет как этакого дегенерата, раз он под лозунгом "это же для детей" Снимает мульт про взрослую бабу с отставанием в развитии лет так на 7
@Samar3n lion Bonifazius, mashenkin concert, three on an island And that's just the ones I remember them still showing on modern Russian TV There's probably a lot more.

Growing up in Eastern Europe I will say this, on children's TV programmes we had beautiful cartoons of many diverse folk tales from different cultures including stories from fellow Eastern European tales, Asian, African and Native American and I miss the artistic styles so much when I compare them to what is now mainstream children's cartoons. The science fiction stories were also out of this world, aliens were not depicted as green beings in a horror or thriller category but rather beautiful life forms different from ours. Gosh I miss my childhood cartoons so much.
I noticed their animations as well for diverse people. They often drew diverse characters to have the facial features that make sense for their heritage, but not caricatures of overly-plumbed black lips or slits for asian eyes. It really is sad to me as a russian to see that the commoner now has a very western idea of africa and the east.
Yeah the Soviet Union was far from perfect but at least there was optimism for the future and a sense that society was working towards a brighter future, now everywhere in the world is the same capitalist drudgery where you’re told the current status quo is perfectly fine

The symbolism in this short film is pretty impressive.
Each of the animals represent something brought to Africa by Europeans to control the natives. Religion, laws, and police.
Only when he allowed the elephant to live in his land did the elephant suddenly invent the concept of property ownership to take away the ownership of the man.
Religion is used to justify his suffering and make it seem like a noble thing.
The police and laws represented by two of the animals also work together to stop him from forcefully taking what belongs to him like how they told him not to protest against them.
Overall good stuff. I enjoyed this short film.
Forgot to add that capitalism was also another aspect of this film as with the crocodile being a stand in for capitalism.
Actually, the whole marxist-economical study is well outlined in this film. It shows how the institutions of the bourgeois state always protect the interests of the bourgeoisie, : exploitation of the workers, of the land, no matter what country.
And the end of the movie is when the worker sees his class enemy and overthrows him from the ruling role...
The only thing I don't like in this film is that there is only one man, when in fact the exploited people are in the majority and that is their strength, only by realizing the unity of their interests they can take control of life in their own hands.
Europeans did not bring religion to Africa

My Colonialism and violence history professor recently showed us this cartoon in class.
@HadriantheemperorofromeBecause it is a matter of fact and correct perception of reality.
During the times of the Russian Empire, an African becomes a deputy and a great mathematician of Russia, and his son Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin becomes the face of the Russian literary world (at that time, slavery was flourishing in America). The USSR starts a war with colonialism. They give Africans weapons. They build international universities all over the country and teach Africans all professions so that Africans can build their own strong and independent countries. There are many photos and posters with the friendship of peoples, where blacks, Russians and Asians stand together, creating peace and friendship. The USSR also gives Africa colossal amounts of food for free and helps it survive after colonialism by Western countries. (Meanwhile, in Europe there are human zoos where Africans are put on display behind bars as exhibits, together on the same level as other animals) + Western countries create terrorists. under the pretext of protection, they put up military bases supposedly to help, when in fact the military is guarding gold mining, oil refineries and the rest, taking resources from Africa (the era of neocolonialism). Modern times - despite Russia's war in Ukraine ... Russia is sending the Wagner private military company to drive out the terrorists. to ensure peace and EQUAL economic relations with Africa, giving peace and prosperity. They have resumed and increased the number of free places in universities to educate Africans. They are giving technologies. principles of irrigation of land for food. A system is being developed on how to make drinking water from ocean water. Food is sent free of charge, including free delivery. A huge number of Russian schools are being built in order for Africans to receive a better education and skills. Recently, Russia was the first in the world to create a vaccine against monkeypox, throwing all its efforts into helping its African friends. Russia proposes a reform in the UN so that a representative of Africa would be in the UN Security Council and on equal terms with America, Russia and China to defend the interests of the African people. + a representative of Latin America, India and the Arab world. + joining BRICS, which would give independence and investments (today Burkina Faso asked for this). Nuclear power plants are already being built at Russia's expense. And after some time they will be transferred to these countries. We are already seeing how America and France are leaving Africa. And Africans have the Russian flag and a T-shirt with Vladimir Putin in their hands, because this is a real friendship tested by time.

Многие пишут в снисходительном ключе о том, что это пропаганда. Но разве транслирование исторических фактов можно считать игрой с человеческим восприятием реальности?
А разве это и не есть пропагандировать? Зависит от того какую правду и самое главное чью правду ты транслируешь :), тоже самое что и 6 и 9, в зависимости от стороны цифра другая. Лучше смотреть такие фильмы и не задумываться что есть для кого пропаганда.
Конечно можно, в пропагаде указаны те же самые факты, просто в выгодном ключе. Далеко не важно что ты говоришь, важен контекст и посыл.
Не поверишь это входит в понятие пропоганда
Ссср было важно показать, что европейцы и американцы плохие.
Поэтому тут например не показано, что африканцы очень любили нападать друг на друга и брать в рабство. Для них это было нормально, так что они и начали торговать рабами с европейцами. Это не началось с того, что пришли европейцы и начали воровать
Да, можно, если выбирать только те исторические факты что показывают негативно ту страну против которой пропагандируешь.
- i love how the narrator always reffers to the main character as a "Man" and when animals do it they say
"black man"
Better translation from russian in this context is not "Man", but "Human".
word for word
@@СлаваВайцеховский Man and Human are often used interchangeably in English. "One small step for Man..."
@@denisl2760 yeap, sure. Still, if to respect the author's view in the context of this cartoon, then the better translation comes with "Human". "Man" is just a broader term which, of course, comprises humanity as a whole, a human being, but may be understood as just a male which is definitely not something that the author tried to stipulate here.
You know, something similar happened once to Tolstoy's "War and Peace". In pre-communist Russian language there were two words "Мiр" (people's secular world) and "Мир" (no war, peace, harmony) which sounded absolutely similar. After communists came to power, they got rid of "i" in favor of "и" and the word "Мир" comprised both meanings. Therefore what Tolstoy meant in the title became a strong dispute which is still relevant today (with tons of letters from Tolstoy, his relatives, early publications, later publications of his novel, which sometimes turn out to be fake). That's why I prefer to dot the i's.
@@denisl2760 btw, do you know how Pepsi translated it's "Come alive! You're in a Pepsi generation!" in China? Google it. I guarantee you some necromancy vibes.
Or how Hillary Clinton in the times of a warm up between Moscow and Washington decided to make a symbolic button with a caption "Reload". She and Lavrov (Russian foreign minister) were supposed to push it in front of cameras in order to underline russian-american mutual understanding etc. The thing is that she decided to put the caption "Reload" in Russian and her translators decided to save a few letters so that "Reload" ("переЗАгрузка") became "Overload" ("перегрузка"). American media said something like "We were one syllable away from the Third World War".
The music is amazing.
It truly is, especially the music at the beginning! Wish we had a full version of it!

Russians otherwise from americans don't killed off natives but tried to russificate them at some periods
Their empire worked a bit like roman one they were leaving alone everyone who wanted to work for them but when they revolted (like poles did) they were starting to bully them to remember it
And now those people who are in russia don't want to separate because why?
Their culture is respected also russian economy and living standards are decent but sometimes very good and if they would separate only what would happen tk them is being dragged into war wich would end by being annexed back or be drained economically by US like Ukraine is now so i hope zelensky will lose because it's better for Ukraine to be under russia boot than US

I like how this completely flips American racist cartoon tropes on their heads. African people often being degraded with racist depictions as being "animal-like" in those cartoons, but here, the white colonizers are depicted as animals, and the African is the sole human being.

Meanwhile in that time, americans animators were ridiculously stereotyping black characters.
@Samar3n You need to check your books on that. The soviet regime killed even more people than the Nazis did. They didn't have colonies, because their predecessor (the russian empire) didn't have either, so they exploited their own people. When it comes to Africa, they gave them guns to kill each other and helped tyrants to seize power.
Yeah. Soviet Union had a lot of problems. But even some good things. For example they were anti-racist.
There are many interesting stories between Russians and Africans. For example, one of the most renown Russian generals, Abram Petrovich Gannibal, was an African. Also he is a great granddad of Alexander Pushkin, the greatest Russian poet.
By the way,Abram became a general-in-chef,no one among the black people ranged that tier in Russian army.
Ivan Abramovich Gannibal ( led a detachment of the Imperial Black Sea Fleet, which besieged and captured the Turkish fortress of Navarin during the Russo-Turkish War (1768-1774), and took part in the founding of the city of Kherson. Gannibal's ultimate military rank was Général en Chef.
He was a white North African.
@@kevinhughes720 North africans are not "white", though
@@kevinhughes720 no.... actually his origin isn't clear, since in his biography he doesn't state exactly where he was from, only that his father was a nobility from Logon sity, and because in Africa there are many places called Logon, the discussions of his place of origin were goings between historians in Russia for literal centuries. Nowadays the most correct version is considered to be Principality of Logon in Central Sudan (on the border of modern Cameroon and Chad).

5:53 - he said "You see, *kid"*. Not a big deal, tbf, but the tone is different;
7:28 - he called him not "r3t@rded" but "backwards". "Отсталый" can, indeed, be a derogatory term if used in conjecture with "умственно" ("умственно-отсталый" = "feeble-minded") but in this context it was probably used in the main meaning which is "someone, who is behind" = "backwards" (as in "backwards nation");
7:58 - technically, Elephant said "He must give what he has", not "everything he has". However, I give it a pass because in English this sounds weird and intention is the same;
9:12 and forwards - "господин" in Russian has multiple meanings, including "Lord" or "Master" (the root "господ-" means "ruler of something", for example Lord in Russian Bible is "Господь"). However in this case it is a honorific, very close to "mister" or "sire". It is used towards someone who is of higher standing than you, or as a form of respect. It was pretty widespread in the Imperial times but when Soviets came, they started to use "товарищ" ("camrade") which had no hierachical underlines - both Joseph Stalin, the biggest guy in the country, and hypothetical Ivan Petrov, simple factory worker, were "товарищ". I point it out, because it had ideological meaning to the Soviets, that "Collective West" was using "mister", not "camrade".

Maybe because its USSR propaganda they got like 6 black men total in Russia they can pretend they would be so loving and caring without putting any of the work.

СССР - начинают войну с колониализмом . дают африканцам оружие . строят по всей стране университеты международные и учат африканцев всем профессиям что бы африканцы построили свои сильные и независимые страны . много фото есть и плакаты с дружбой народов где чернокожие. русские и азиаты стоят вместе образуя мир и дружбу . так же колоссальные количества продовольствия бесплатно ссср отдает африке и помогает выжить после колониализма странами запада. ( тем временем в европпе существуют человеческие зоопарки где африканцы выставлены за решеткой как экспонат вместе на одном уровне как другие животные )+ страны запада создают террористов . под предлогом защиты ставят военные базы якобы для помощи когда на самом деле военные охраняют золотодобычу нефтезаводы и остальное отбирая у африки ресурсы (эпоха неоколониализма) . Современное время - несмотря на войну россии на украине ... Россия отправляет чвк вагнер что бы прогнать террористов .обеспечить мир и НА РАВНЫХ экономические отношения с африкой даря мир и процветание . возобновили и повысили количество бесплатных мест в университетах что бы обучить африканцев . дают технологии . принципы орошения земли для продовольствия . разрабатывается система как из океанической воды сделать питьевую . бесплатно отправляется включая бесплатную доставку продовольствие . Строится огромное количество русских школ в целях получения африканцами лучшего образования и навыков . Недавно Россия первая в мире создала вакцину от оспы обезьян бросив все силы для помощи африканским друзьям . Россия предлагает в ООН реформу что бы представитель Африки был в совбезе оон и на равных правах с Америкой Россией и Китаем что бы отстаивать интересы африканского народа .+ представителя латинской америки .индии и арабского мира . + вхождение в БРИКС что даст независимость и инвестиции (сегодня как раз Буркино фасо попросил об этом ). Уже строятся АЭС за счет россии .а через некоторое время передастся этим странам . уже видим как америка и франция уходят из африки . и у африканцев в руках флаг России и футболка с Владимиром Путиным ведь эта настоящая дружба проверенная временем.

The USSR wasn't just Russia you know
American cartoons :
- used to be about "animal good guys vs human villans" trope
- used to make fun, in a racist way, of non-white people
- used to be anti-communist and anti-russian
This cartoon :
@Mr Unknown I agree I find it offensive too lol
Basically what the Russian cartoon does in reverse.
Yeah, today's cartoons are making fun in a racist way against whites
Soviet government was anti-russian too. They had war against White Army (russian national army and heirs of russian empire and russin republic)
As a South African, the Soviets helped us a lot during aparthied. Not just us. Countries across Africa. Same for Asia and Latin America. They were generally the friend of the opprssed. They were also perhaps the only reason Natzi's didn't take over Europe. Yet after all the US has done to the world, they continue to portray Soviets negatively in the media, and portray the Americans as friendly and heroic. It is very ironic and kind of comical to me.
I see that a group of people in the comments, have this weird instinct to associate the animals within the Soviet Cartoon to represent nations, despite it not being made in the western mass media and therefore not the same concepts.
Knowing that depictions of class war and anything related to a workers struggle is never to be rare during It's communist media of the cold war, I think my opinions of what these animals represent are at least not far off from the creator's truth.
Rhino: Clergy & western religion
Crocodile: Burecrats or Corporations
Hyena: Military and any kind of colonial order
Lion: either colonial administration or the imperial governments based in Europe
Elephant: the usual non-native settler refusing to intigrate
just to be clear, i don't care about the politics, just that i want to understand why things are the way they are.
'A simple stretch of what one wise person once said': "you have to understand people, then everything else will make sence"
Rather, the fact is that many of these images successfully fall on certain countries, so clothes also contribute to this.
Hyena is dressed as a French soldier/officer.
An elephant is literally a typical American (especially considering the mascot of the Republican Party).
The lion is clearly England with its national symbol.

Some context. The cartoon is adapted from Jomo Kenyatta's short story: "The Gentleman of The Jungle".
The animals are characters from Kenyatta's story.
Of course, there's much that was added to the story in the cartoon and you may very well be right that the Soviet creators intended that.
@@0Warpsmith The lion wears British colonial uniform (lacking a pith helmet) and the crocodile looks like he's just come from Nuremberg Trial.
What a powerful story!Honestly, it brought me to tears.

I really love that they oppose a black MAN to ANIMAL-colonisers. That hits hard.

people saying this is a surprisingly human depiction of Africa for it's time - this was what the soviets did everywhere, it was the founding ideals which the socialists had fostered all the way back in the early 1900's. While the rest of the world wasn't even debating if having black people in zoo's was ok, the soviets pledged their full support to decolonisation and self determination for Africa, Arabia, China, America etc. This is the main principle of socialism, that regardless of background, race, religion or culture everyone is equal.

I am from Russia, not a communist, just an ordinary guy who was born after the dissolution of the USSR. But I tell you, there is something magnificent and charming about all those Soviet cartoons. I'm really glad I grew up watching them.
And there is something about the Soviet boomers. I think most of us (people from the post-Soviet countries) will agree that the elderly generations have courtesy, they were raised right, they have good moral code. Maybe it's the same everywhere.
I was born in Brazil, a country in South American that makes part of the Western World. I can say I also relate with the last part of your comment and that's pretty much how I feel about my father that was born during the Military Regime (1964-1985).

Story Name : The Gentlemen of the Jungle

You would like to know about him : Jomo Kenyatta, (1893?-1978), was an
African political leader, first president of Kenya (1964-78).
A Kikuyu, he was one of the earliest and best-known African
nationalist leaders. As secretary of his tribal association (1928),
he campaigned for land reform and African political rights.

Yeah because people there care
Well this came out in the 60s so by then technically The Peanuts had already introduced a Black character and cartoons weren't AS racist, not all the time at least 😐
Idk why people are so suprised that Soviet cartoon depicted africans as humans. Soviet union was all about equality between people and races.
But to be honset other soviet cartoons were indeed depicted tribes pretty сaricatured, but it was not racism or something, they were showing key features of different people.
Я как азиатка скажу: "никогда не чувствовала негатива от изображения азиатов в советской анимации".

That's not true. Sovet Union terminated almost 1/4 of my nation during the 1945 and other Caucasian nations, and not only Caucasian, but also some others from north and Sibir. Russians are not different from americans, europeans and jews. This cartoon is only to make the other capitalistic nations to look in bad light, while themselves look good.
You've never heard them call europeans (geyropeans), people with dark hair and eyes (blackbutts), mongoloid people (narroweyed), yakut people (chukcha) and so on. And they really hate black people, you should read under movies with black stars, how russians think that black people are ugly as hell, that they should never be main leads in movies, etc.

During the times of the Russian Empire, an African becomes a deputy and a great mathematician of Russia, and his son Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin becomes the face of the Russian literary world (at that time, slavery was flourishing in America). The USSR starts a war with colonialism. They give Africans weapons. They build international universities all over the country and teach Africans all professions so that Africans can build their own strong and independent countries. There are many photos and posters with the friendship of peoples, where blacks, Russians and Asians stand together, creating peace and friendship. The USSR also gives Africa colossal amounts of food for free and helps it survive after colonialism by Western countries. (Meanwhile, in Europe there are human zoos where Africans are put on display behind bars as exhibits, together on the same level as other animals) + Western countries create terrorists. under the pretext of protection, they put up military bases supposedly to help, when in fact the military is guarding gold mining, oil refineries and the rest, taking resources from Africa (the era of neocolonialism). Modern times - despite Russia's war in Ukraine ... Russia is sending the Wagner private military company to drive out the terrorists. to ensure peace and EQUAL economic relations with Africa, giving peace and prosperity. They have resumed and increased the number of free places in universities to educate Africans. They are giving technologies. principles of irrigation of land for food. A system is being developed on how to make drinking water from ocean water. Food is sent free of charge, including free delivery. A huge number of Russian schools are being built in order for Africans to receive a better education and skills. Recently, Russia was the first in the world to create a vaccine against monkeypox, throwing all its efforts into helping its African friends. Russia proposes a reform in the UN so that a representative of Africa would be in the UN Security Council and on equal terms with America, Russia and China to defend the interests of the African people. + a representative of Latin America, India and the Arab world. + joining BRICS, which would give independence and investments (today Burkina Faso asked for this). Nuclear power plants are already being built at Russia's expense. And after some time they will be transferred to these countries. We are already seeing how America and France are leaving Africa. And Africans have the Russian flag and a T-shirt with Vladimir Putin in their hands, because this is a real friendship tested by time.
...You can't believe a country that wasn't founded on African slavery doesn't depict Africans as subhuman to white people? Crazy.

At the same time, Americans were popularizing the term "Nuke´em", as if the nuclear holocaust was the greatest fun ever...
USSR African caricature looks like a chad while in the USA, they were depicted in the most grotesque minstrel fashion by the "people of liberty and equality".
Wow... You can argue all you want that most, if not all of this short was just soviet propaganda. But you gotta admit that the soviets at least draw more realistic and even more respectfull the native black people in this cartoon, than any other american cartoon back then. I'm surprised that the soviets managed to draw black people very well, without exagerating them, in a extremely offensive way. Specially considering that in the USSR was not exactly a country with many black people, like in the US.
How is this Soviet propaganda? It's just for raising awareness on colonialism and their effects on the African countries. In 1963, when most of Africa was still colonized. If the US had made this, I don't think you would have been here saying it is American propaganda. But since the Soviet Union made this, you feel this.
This animation accurately represents the Soviet view on the conditions of black people around the world. There's a lot of what some would call "pure soviet propaganda" (posters, cartoons, books), all regarding the horrible situation of African-Americans in the U.S.A., for example. Look up a quote from Muhammad Ali on his visit to the USSR in 1978, talking about how he felt like a human being in Soviet land, as opposed to the discrimination he went through in the U.S. Anti-imperialism and anti-colonialism, as well as liberation of all enslaved people, is something present not only in Lenin's thought (who founded the Soviet Union), but in Marx and Engels as well.
As you precisely pointed out, while the Soviets were making an accurate representation of the black man and supporting the anti-colonial movements (also with armed support) that were happening in many parts of Africa in the year this came out, the imperalists made an effort to ridicularize the African people through exaggerations and racial stereotypes. Even though the U.S. is a nation with a large number of black citizens, there is still heavy racial discrimination.
I once watched a Soviet documentary about indigenous peoples from around the world. What stroke me was how respectful they were compared to modern day documentaries. They didn't show them as uncivilized wild people, neither did they have that snobbish "big brother" tone western documentaries still have. They just showed these people's culture as it was
You have to read soviet sci fi story "Andromeda's nebula" "Tumannost Andromedi".by Ivan Efremov. There is a one of the main characters, african guy in this story, who invented warp drive. Soviet Union respected all nations.

Американская Покахонтас: бегает по лесу и болтает с деревьями, лол
Ну это же фольклор коренных американцев - индейцев. А у народов с такой культурой это всегда что то вроде гармонии с природой и беседы с камышом😅
По факту, просто два разных подхода в ведении сюжетной линии)
(Сорян, задушнил)
@Sc1ence_Amateur проблема не в этом. По факту Покахонтас у диснея показана не как индейская принцесса, а как проблемный ребёнок, запертый в теле взрослой 21 летней тёти. Тип, ладно бы она болтала с деревьями, но там абсолютно не показано, как она бы помогала своему племени. Хоть чем то, хоть как то. Для своего времени и уклада жизни она даже в Российской империи выглядела бы сумасшедшей, потому что в своем возрасте все еще имеет жениха, но так и не вышла за него. Даже тут она племени никакого толку не приносит. Все сио она делает, так это только мешает: переворачивает лодки, угарает, пытается обратить на себя внимание, как 8 летний ребенок, а в свободное от раздолбайства время бегает болтать с деревом. Яркий пример правильного повеления Покахонтас может служить Наусика из долины ветров: бля своего тяжелого времени она рано выросла и не ведет себя, как дегенерат. Она помогает своей деревне всем, летает в лес не ради развлечения, а ради полезных ресурсов и изучения этого самого леса, чтобы найти спасение от его яда. Она ведет себя так, как должна себя вести любая принцесса в любом племени такого времени. Покахонтас не делает НИ ЧЕ ГО. Только красуется, прыгает с водопада, поет песенки, развлекается и мешает жизнь просто всем вокруг. Мается без дела. Тип не видно, что она действительно принцесса, что она действительно НА СВОЕЙ ЗЕМЛЕ. Здесь негр показан работягой, который честно работает на своей земле, живет там, заботится о ней, при этом не разрушая ее. Ведет себя, как у себя дома. Он именно что привязан к своей территории и это показано просто через банальную работу. Проблема не в религии, проблема в диснее, который сделал самую нелогичную на свете вещь с принцессой общинно родового строя - нарисовал 21 летнюю бабу гиперактивным ска ребенком! В общинно родовом строе!! Просто на помню, что в те времена девушки взрослели уже в 14 лет и даже детей рожали, даже в индейских племенах. Покахонтас же ведет себя, как попаданка из 21 века, да даже для нашего времени она выглядит той еще дегенераткой, потому что даже у нас в обществе после 18 лет человек считается взрослым и может нести ответственность за себя и даже за своих уже детей. Поэтому это выглядит вдвойне странно. И обмазка в виде "ну это же для детей снимали" Всю равно эту нелогичность не решает. Видимо у диснея понимание ребенка идет как этакого дегенерата, раз он под лозунгом "это же для детей" Снимает мульт про взрослую бабу с отставанием в развитии лет так на 7
an old cartoon where black people are drawn decently?
@Samar3n lion Bonifazius, mashenkin concert, three on an island
And that's just the ones I remember them still showing on modern Russian TV
There's probably a lot more.
@@makar_on I read some of your comments here, so I have a question: are you an idiot or yes?
@@Marshal_Longarm dude you're a Russian. Shut up.
and yet they would have you believe that the Soviets were evil polluted by backwards thinking. This kind of cartoon would never be allowed in the US, not back in the 60s, and not today.
Holodomor and the US literally had to send food to the soviets or they would starve
@@littlefinger4509 you mean like when the British starved 150 million Indians during their occupation of the sub continent

надо было на горящем доме и закончить. без убегания этих сволочей.
в детстве первый раз смотрела - так переживала за негрика...
Old soviet cartoons were of great quality, hell they still hold out pretty well today
СССР всегда были против колониальной политики Запада. Я в СССР родилась, я знаю и помню всё.
Запад - это цивилизация, СССР - вонючая тоталитарная помойка с уравниловкой
