- Are people nostalgic about the USSR and things that characterized life in the Soviet Union? We took to the streets of Minsk and asked Belarusians about it.

"Back then we had confidence in the future".. Great words comrade.
Where are you from? I guess it's hard for you to declare to be a communist in an English speaking country.
@@nicolasmaxwell8166 not english speaking country but in Poland, declaring that you're a commie is like wanting people to hate you. Declaring you miss the times under the Soviets is being a traitor to many. The reason is, our media only teaches us about the crimes the Soviets commited against us, but conveniently forgets about all the good things the USSR had done for us after
@@poatrykdas It's a shame. I hope it gets better in a future. Greetings!
western commie is crazy, did you forget about the poor bastards under Stalin,
who instead of starving to death, a staggering percent of collectivized farms ended up resorting to cannibalism when the snows set in on eastern front LOL?
communism is a failed, defunct, and impossible form of society, it has never been fully executed, because it would cause humanity to implode on itself.
@@poatrykdasdo polish elder say socialism was better are they nostalgic etc. ???
Something's with the sausages. Some fascinating and dark secret.
its russian theme I dont actually sure if western ppl can understand that.
Привет друкь ind russia we eat cooked sausages. Some like it some dont. Most of the food we eat are cooked
You either hate it or you love it...
In Russia there is a term "Sausage emigrant" This is about stupid people who emigrated to America and told that America is better than the USSR, because there are more varieties of sausage. This man could potentially be such an emigrant, but he did not manage to leave and he has a tragedy).
@@sweetlachok God forbid he doesn't have 50 varieties of Sausage!!! How can he live!!! :p
They miss the sense of unity and community. That is what humans all truly want.

im from lithuania, and people talk same here, of course if you ask people who lived in those times, not new generation who know only propaganda.... 60s 70s 80s were amazing time for common people to live in.
Actually baltic countries was a showcase of socialism.

@@suneetasingh8621 new generation hate cause they didnt experience it and only heard propaganda, older generation majority enjoyed it.
"why don't you ask people who lived under communism"
People who lived under communism:
Do you have selective hearing or did you miss all the people who disliked it? And that's only in belarus. What is essentially russia but without the pointless war.
Also Ukraine lived under communism. As you can see they're thrilled to go back to that age.
Statistically more people liked it than disliked it so that person is right @SillyBillyMale
People live for the community, now they live for money😢
People worked for the community, now they work for money.
@@xgamerbih feels bad :(
@Kristaps Ozoliņš yes they did...they worked for the collective betterment of society.
@Kristaps Ozoliņš Lol you just described Capitalism...the average worker has no intention to work other then keeping himself and his family from starving to death and pay rent. Workers work for their bosses who exploits their labour to extract the sulprus value generated by the commodities manufactured by the workers. And also so what if I am Indian? I have a doctorate in contemporary world politics and have majored in history and Sociology. I have deeply researched the history of class struggle and the era of the Soviet union...I am pretty sure you were born after 1991... because most people who lived in the Soviet union regretted it's dissolution and voted in the 1991 referendum to preserve it...from your name I am guessing you are from the Balkans who were one of the first ones to dissent against the union and illegally tired to leave it against the popular will of the people...they even boycotted the 1991 referendum all together because they were afraid they'd lose legitimacy if most people in their countries voted to preserve the union (which they would by the way)...If anything I am more qualified to speak on this topic than you are...
@Kristaps Ozoliņš I meant *Baltics not Balkans lol...and yeah you say no one other then the Russians want the USSR back? Lol Go take a stroll through the streets of Minsk and ask them of their opinion of the USSR and need I remind you that during the 1991 referendum the voter turnout was the highest in the central asisn republics specially in Kazakhstan... almost of of those republics voted overwhelming to preserve the USSR...oh and coming back to Belarus do you know that they still hold annual celebrations to commemorate the October revolution? And also if the healthcare was poor then why did the USSR had one of the lowest infant/mother mortality during pregnancy? USSR had one of the best and sophisticated healthcare systems at the time which was available to working class people unlike in the US. Also as for the toilet paper thing...it was not because toilet paper was a "luxury" it was more of a cultural thing that they preferred using water like we do here in Asia... doesn't mean we can't afford toilet paper?? And also do you really think a country that can send it's people to space, provide free healthcare, education and housing would have a problem with providing people with affordable and accessible toiletpaper? Also nice lie about there being no warm water... the housing built by the state came equipped with a geezer to store hot water during the winters.

"In the United States, for over a hundred years, the ruling interests
tirelessly propagated anticommunism among the populace, until it
became more like a religious orthodoxy than a political analysis.
During the cold war, the anticommunist ideological framework could
transform any data about existing communist societies into hostile
evidence. If the Soviets refused to negotiate a point, they were intransigent and belligerent; if they appeared willing to make concessions,
this was but a skillful ploy to put us off our guard. By opposing arms
limitations, they would have demonstrated their aggressive intent; but
when in fact they supported most armament treaties, it was because
they were mendacious and manipulative. If the churches in the USSR
were empty, this demonstrated that religion was suppressed; but if the
churches were full, this meant the people were rejecting the regime's
atheistic ideology. If the workers went on strike (as happened on
infrequent occasions), this was evidence of their alienation from the
collectivist system; if they didn't go on strike, this was because they
were intimidated and lacked freedom."

I've been watching similar videos from Russia as well and they seem to break down to: 1 person hates the USSR, 2 people feel proud of the USSR and wish to return, and 3-4 have deep nostalgia for it but don't want to go back. I'm curious why there is at times such extreme differences.
1 probably lost a loved one to either Stalins or Lenin purges, 2 liked the way things were, 3-4 liked the way things were but don't want the headache of the transition
Some hated it because of the iron curtain, or the increasing corruption in the government, or the poor decisions of the government, such as the military overspending and the hyper focus on heavy industry rather than light industry especially in the smaller republics. Some loved it for the prosperity, unity, hope, peace, and that the Ruble was actually quite good back then.
something people can learn from this video is that capitalism causes alienation
More like these are old people nostalgic for their childhoods. Boomers in the US and practically ever country look back fondly on their "good old days" with rose colored glasses too.

@@angelika7220 Sorry. But this won't stop Lukashenko from uniting with Russia.

Fuk that shi
By all means we should pursue many aspects of the USSR's legacy e.g. the collective feeling, strength of happy, healthy community, the songs etc that seems far bigger than any political party, it speaks of a more holistic cultural socialism. But allowing memories of feasts and a good ol' sing song to eclipse the other legacy of the USSR is historical blindness. It seems for most of its existence the USSR became more and more alienated from the true cause of its original intention, tragic that such a vision became so divorced from reality, more tragic still that so much innocent life had to suffer for it.
what you describe right now is happening with the Woke-Western-Block!!!
Elites distancing themselves too much from its citizens and people!!!!
@@ragnar999tobi Lol um the Western Bloc (to use your politically outdated term of choice) is not one system of governance! And, in many areas and in many respect it certainly isn't 'woke' (in either the genuine sense or the right-wing insult). Furthermore the problem you describe is neither a western or eastern issue, it is a major and general flaw in a host of governments. A policy closer to the intention of many branches of communism would strive to eliminate that distance between themselves and the people they represen.t
@@Arcadiabeckons nah Western Block is dominated by Western liberal Woke ideology from WEF club, which they try to impose on all others just look how they punish Poland and Hungary for not imposing these values on its societies! As those societies reject those values!
The West is an oligarchy, which uses democracy just to distract its people, leaders are pre-selected ad WEF and Bilderberger meetings or by Wallstreet. And Boy if the system can not be rigged you get a Trump, then they do everything to remove him! It was election fraud!
And they will do it again, covid wave at election time pla pla and fake the next elections again....
In case of EU even worse Von der Layen is not elected its a communist banker oligarchy club, you can see them everywhere Macron in France, Draghi in Italy and all they do is fucking up society and the economy in benefit of the 1%
We are not better than China, just have better propaganda, and we do not need to lock you up, we get you fired from your job for your political views and statements and let you die and starve on the streets!
This is what the EU tries to do with Poland and Hungary for not publishing LGBTQ+++ school books for elementary schools, I am German and the shit I had to read is terrible and useless what fuck, why do have children 11 years of age to build and designed a brothel for transexuals and gays?
What for? they should later with 14-15 learn reproduction among animals and humans, those who wish additional information may attend extra classes but not enforce it on all and at this age and such extreme nonsense. When I was 11 I played with a Gameboy, soccer ball, and skateboard! I had no interest in sexuality! What the Fuck is this? The legal age for teenagers to have sex is 14 in Germany so why do they need to learn all that things and different "genders" and furry stuff? I mean trans is something we all can imagine but furry? How do you explain that....well people that imagine or pretend to be a dog or a cat or a lion etc. but depending now on the person reading my explanation I will get roasted for it because they might say we are not pretending, we are cats and dogs.... uhhhh
I am glad I am not anymore a child! But it is terrible to explain such things! And meaningless! It will not help to build something, to produce something it is not even connected to reality, and just because they think they are lions doesn't make them one and when they enter a cage with a lion and get killed, well that is reality tells them you are not a lion!
We have now a fucked up society it seems the Russian and Chinese agents are sitting in your government destroying it from within!
The toxic masculinity all complaining about is fighting in Ukraine, against Russians, and was missing in Afghanistan, it is what the West lacks...while they even try to eradicate masculinity in the US and EU?
Which wars do they want to fight with woke armies?
And any voice against this nonsense is racist and inhuman and right-wing, so if I question covid restrictions, green energy efficiency, education of minors about sexuality and state that there are just two biological sexes male and female you get banned and put into the corner to shame yourself. Very open and liberal-minded indeed!
The very same clowns that destroyed the middle-class which produced real men are castrating the very own society they live upon!
The West is acting non-rational because its leaders are trapped in green-woke-fantasy reality with some exceptions!
Do you know how our western economy operated for the last decades, printing money buying up stocks and houses on the market to increase the asset values of the 1% then they added these value gains to the GDP! Real industrial output dropped among G7 while BRICS and others increased! Why is this important, well what gives money its value is the resources or goods backing it! Inflation is caused because of Russia, Putin and Sanctions my ass!!!
Not understanding the real economy is just part of that problem! When the US builds one F35 Russia builds 5 SU35 or 2 SU57 but the value measured in US Dollar is bigger in the US, so they believe because of their blown up GDP they are bigger than Russia's industrial capacity! That is why the US Intel full of woke people, not in position because of qualities but ideologies assumed Russia would run out of ammo and missiles why? Because the US can not build more cruise missiles than 100 per month, they expected the Russian industry to produce less just because of Dollar numbers those fucking idiots while the Steel production alone of Russia is bigger than that of Germany!
The whole West from the government to intel is run by ideology and not by people selected for their skills and experiences or knowledge! And this deadly! It's Rome in its last days! As a German, I can tell you that, just one look at my government and the already effects on the economic level by those idiots is frightening! But at least we know the goal and agenda, have nothing, and be happy!
The Soviet Union collapsed because leaders got detached from reality, its people, and their people's needs! Only their ideology mattered and their own grandiosity, the very same is happening in the West! You may disagree with that but I am sorry, Germany is turning in parts and places worse than Brazil! And so is the West with some exceptions!
Literally right out the gate, the ideals on which it was founded were completely ruined. Sure stalin helped the nation industrialize with 5 year plans, but otherwise it wasn't as fair of a society as it was expected to be during Stalin's rule and that would continue (with some reforms) until the GORBACHEV era. Regardless, it still had that feeling of community about it.
Reunite of USSR!
Reunite the WORKER!

I Love Russia & We need USSR❤️

@Wtf are u? I will not tell you my user name, Bįtćh! where did you get your numbers, genious? most of the people who actually lived there, admit that it was a better system. Even polls prove it.
And if you'r wondering why foreigners are so fond of USSR, it's because life was better all over the globe thanks to USSR. It was keeping the balance of power with US and because our capitalist regimes were so afraid of us becoming communist, they were giving us lots of concessions. after fall of USSR now every year we get more of our freedoms stripped away by the bloodsucking capitalists and we become poorer and poorer.
collapse of USSR was the triumph of evil! a great loss for humanity!
Lol
Honestly I think you could interview them base on the following: if old enough to work during the USSR what kind of work did they had, did they hold government employment positions and if so what did they do for a living, what kind of education did the USSR provided them (How far were they able to attend school) and if so what kind of careers did they obtain? I see many do missed the old USSR I only wonder if they were the ones with good careers or government positions?! You get my point?
In the USSR, you could do what you liked, and not what was profitable, and remain a person, be needed and respected, without worrying about whether you would have a place to live tomorrow or what to eat - all basic needs were available in any case, and people were busy with leisure or personal development, as well as general development - they had time for this!!! Which is not the case today. You can’t take or buy time anywhere...
So the overwhelming majority (with the exception of only one man) preferred the USSR.
That doesn’t mean anything. He could’ve just selected all the interviews where people said the USSR was good.
They live under a different type of dictatorship now :(
@@RobertSmurda Except there are scientific polls showing a majority prefer the USSR over Russia year after year, and that majority has been growing, not shrinking. And the support for the USSR is less about the USSR being a superpower than that people genuinely liked the stability in their lives, the strong social welfare system, their basic needs were looked after, and the weakest weren't asked to fend for themselves. This all changed in the 1990s. People still remember.
Around 66% of Russians asked said the soviet era was the best, America has admitted to rigging the 1997 elections so the communist party doesn’t win, yes, people in those countries preferred the communist way of living or more correctly the socialist since the USSR never made it to communism, that’s what America does, when they see a socialist country they do everything they can to take it down, see Cuba for example, they love talking about the propaganda the USSR pushed ignoring the fact that television, advertisements, political campaigns and history lessons are all propaganda as well, I never lived in the USSR I am Greek but I know some people that did, they moved here after the collapse, most of them are communists and the ones that have citizenship also vote for the communist party, America will do its best so you don’t hear that
USSR republic’s should reunite and form USSR AGAIN
I hope too but it’s Impossible

People wanted to travel more and not to be spied on by the authorities. They wanted socialism with a kinder face. But the West moved into the void of collapse and gave them predatory capitalism which stole their common-wealth and handed it to the rich gangsters.
that is anti communist propaganda, if the authorities where everywhere good, they had a reason to be everywhere, a normal person living his life had nothing to fear, an anti revolutionary, a spy and a traitor did though, and I pray the revolutionary intelligencia was more effective than it was, look at berlin, in western berllin there was the largest number of spies concentrated in one city in the time of history.

It's a shame what happened. The dissolution of the Soviet Union was the greatest disaster of the 20th century. All these people feel sorry now but they did little to stop it, I am not saying that they didn't try, 76% of the people of the USSR voted against it's dissolution and there were major pro-Communist protests in 1991 and 1993, but it wasn't enough, millions should arm themselves even with kitchen knives and take it to the streets, we were in need of another October Revolution. They will never be forgiven, their parents and grandparents fought for the Socialist dream and they blew it away, now their children and grandchildren live in relative poverty and uncertainty and have to migrate to get a good chance.

There are borders
He says in modern times he would never come to build metro in Armenia (if he was young etc)
He said he wouldn't be able to go to the Subway he helped build in Armenia.
He can't travel to the country and travel is probably very expensive for him so going to Armenia to even use that Subway is an after thought for him. Which is pretty sad.
traveling is fucking expensive, a generic worker can't afford it
Personal property means your toothbrush, your piano and so on, private property means owning a company or a building and charging rent. So I want to make that clear when discussing private property. I don’t mean personal property. In your past you had a personal property but you didn’t have the private property that you would exploit the rest of the population with. In Europe and Australia we have about 2% rather wealthy and about 80% living on the edge and brink of survival barely able to pay rent and other bills and working long hours. The real owners of private property are a very small part of the population. You can own one or two houses but what I mean is owning the many offices and buildings, owing pharmacology firms and the price of medicine,
and deciding on the rent to charge to society as a whole. It is important to remember that the propaganda campaign against socialism and communism was because the wealthy class are continually afraid of losing their wealth. Ask yourself - who had something to lose if communism was successful? It wasn’t our public. It was only privately property owners that had something to lose. This now this class of people additionally includes oligarchs in Russia but formerly only this oligarch class in the West. They have something to lose if communism was simply respected, as even respect would influence our private property legislation - so it had to be outright condemned and made to appear Evil. Next, the establishment of information is operated by who? It is not run by university students, but by media conglomerates linked to power. Not simply linked - but literally part of the *property* of this class. So the media are also linked to this small 2% oligarch class. So essentially the wealthy govern the messages that are spread amongst all the people so the broad population *ends up having the same views as this wealthy class*. Result? In the West we believe everything that is good for the wealthy is good for the non-wealthy. This is highly contradictory because what is good for 80% of people is having better schools working less hours, paid more, company directors paid less, more art, more infrastructure quality, and so on - but all these things don’t suit the wealthy class and even in opposition. The main populace of the West would have little or not criticism of USSR and would even admire it if they were simply reading able to observe directly but they cannot, and read the messages projected upon them by the wealthy class here because they have the influence of media publication. Even when observing direct what they see is interpreted in a manner that matches their stories. By contrast with main populous (90% or more of people) it is exactly this small wealthy class (perhaps 2%, but really more like 0.1% with actual effective power) that is *afraid* of losing their wealth. Whilst the public is not afraid of that because they don’t have much to lose. But because populous reads messages filtered by power, what happens is that there is a hysteria against any loss of private property legislation *even amongst populous*. To protect their fears, it is necessary to extremely aggressively attack any system that opposes providing power to private property small class. Part of this propaganda is not simply media messages but far more sophisticated dear. Legislation is used extremely effectively by granting small powers to the population as a whole in a way (in direction but not in magnitude) consistent with power interests - for example giving them a very tiny meaningless ownership of some private property that they benefit from so that they will continue to support the main policies,
however all of the power is funneled to a very small part of the population which is influencing the political narrative. It is more complicated than this but this is an extremely broad overview of how it comes about that your past USSR that Russian inherited is despised and your post is attacked even today by modern Russia for same reason we attacked - because new oligarchs afraid of losing what they have. They are not afraid of Soviet union returning, or even imagining it, but simply afraid of policies changing even in the *smallest way* in past direction, that do not suit them. So they have no tolerance for such policies as increasing welfare or building more library‘s etc. And of course they will fund anything to increase hatred and rampant fear of your past such as the Yeltsin museum, books like Testimony with no source but claiming to be authoritative, sponsoring even diction books and authors condemning USSR, many documentaries about how Shostakovich suffered (without asking his family or reading his memoir where he loves his State). (The book “Testimony” by Volkov published in USA was of course shown to be fraud, the original manuscript of any actual links to Shostakovich never found of course, but there are no apologies for it and new publications still produced now on that same book - it even reaches you dear and you are beautiful and innocent specialist musician). But you do not have to try very hard - everyone reads it and it becomes standard doctrine and the basis of 2000 similar books written afterwards by English authors. The rape allegations of Julian Assange are such a similar process you essentially change the narrative and publish it with authority and then the narratives grow from there. If you ask people about a Julian Assange today in the West they generally are afraid to discuss it because they might feel misunderstood that they’re supporting rape. Similar Shostakovich - you *have* to say that he had no freedom even though it contradicts any clear objective observation as I was giving on the phone. I’m hardly alone, even Hollywood directors try to explain to journalist their lack of freedom in then West: ua-cam.com/video/SWqvaMEFIdI/v-deo.html

Very interesting perspective but i gotta say that most of the good opinions, are just for the sake of nostalgia, they mostly about childhood, social life and so on, it happens in every country like US elders who are nostalgic about the 50s, that one person understand the harshness of the condition living there, USSR has left bad tracts on its footprints, that is why you often fine some of the most reactionary person in former communist countries because authoritarian regime favors only what they approve
Raiyhan Ali Fahmil Fikar making this comparison isn’t just simply due to the fact that these countries lived under a completely different system compared to the US or whatever. also, in lots of videos where people talk about life in the USSR a good majority mention things like free housing + food etc.
@@wowCeraa i see the same traits with Chinese maoist living after the Deng Xiaoping reform, its just for the sake that they just couldn't adapt to the changing society, as i said its for the sake of nostalgia of being easier to live not wanting more or wanted to live better
It was better during the 50s, the American dream existed.
It was still easier to achieve the American dream in the USSR than it was in the US back in the 50's. This is given you weren't born into abject poverty, but it's not like being born into abject poverty in the US was any better. I know the Union had quite a bit of societal failures, but the economic implements of socialsm literally carried them from wooden plows to space flight in about 30 years flat. To this day they are still unfairly compared to the US despite the US having had 200 more years to develop and apparently, by a lot of peoples standards, a better economic system. The fact that the USSR lasted the time that it did, and experienced such great economic growth as to rival the US, is a testament to the success of their socialist economic system.
well considering the life, even in the US, was better in the 60's 70's etc.. it all went downhill after the 90's hit

Low-cost innernal comfy travelling to East Europe, to Black sea shores, to Baickal lake or Syberia, to Far East mountains. Free education. Free best in a world medicine (you may check soviet achievements). What about soviet transformation of deserts in Middle Asia by channeling of siberian rivers flow ? I mean while soviet would be existed at modern days there would be more stability on a planet when the balance of powers still safe. Await lines in stores were during soviet economy transformation at the late of 80s. But this reforms was started in a same time with political ones. New union treaty by republics of USSR was never signed again so USSR disbanded. Economic problems by same transofrmation was exist in China at 1990s and there are a short period so soviet was might achieving a grow soon is possible.
Consider an words of brainwashing. Former ussr citizens loves soviet time by happy childhood time or happy employment's period.

Miss it?
They never left it.
Most people care more about food than liberty. This is one of the reasons why Soviet lasted as long as it did. Most people who miss Soviet do it because of either provison, or their nostalgia towards their youth. The guy who talked about morals I think mostly talked about the government, and he makes a good case. Soviet society was founded on rotten pillars that could not hold the weight of corruption, lies and manipulation anymore.
People who like the idea of communism do not understand that they in fact love capitalism. They might love the idea of redistribution when they benefit from it, but few people like redistribution when you end up in a lesser place. Capitalism is the only model of society that allows you to truly own what is yours, and to use it according to your own interests. In a socialist country you will always give up as many rights as you gain provision. If you want the state to take care of you, you better believe that it will tell you how to live, and demand a big space in your personal life. If you think you can have state provision without the state overseeing your personal life you better get a grip on reality.
In Soviet you had very limited liberty, personal freedom and rights. How much are you willing to give up to be a slave, eating cheap sausages? Humans are made for being free. Communism will always choke you while it's giving you "free things".
Remember what the lady said about free this and that. The reality is that Soviet people along with the other communist countries were poor. People in the west at the same time were economically ahead, and the gap only increased into the 70-80's.
If Soviet truly was a great society then it would have continued to live on. What many people don't understand about relationships between people back in Soviet is not really Soviet, but slavic. The Slavic culture is still doing well, but is as all other cultures changing over time. It is good that the Soviet Union fell apart! It ruined nations, cultures, traditions, religious expressions, and finally it was founded on terrible morals.What was good in Soviet society is largely still alive.
Are you talking about capitalism? How did it benefit indigenous popuations in for example the US or LA? How free & democratic did the POC feel in the US 'beacon of democracy' as their rights are still unequal?
How about the growing number of homeless in the US & EU? Or how about the lack of education & opportunities in capitalist countries?
All in all...there are many comparisons to be made if you are brave enough to be honest - swings & roundabouts 😉
I think you are misled. Socialism is not when the government takes care of you, or when you don’t own anything, it’s simply when the workers control the means of production, for example if you are in a team designing a product, you and other engineers will design it, without interference from capitalistic bosses

No? The communist party of Belarus supports Lukashenko.
I can't speak for them, but I would bet that the positive sentiment most of them feel towards the USSR is mostly based in the nostalgia they have for the culture, and not the form of government itself. It's kind of complicated to explain, but the sense of unity and belonging to something greater must be intrinsic to living in what was essentially an empire. At the same time, Bolshevism and Communism are absolutely criminal and immoral. It's a shame that such a balance had to exist. Countless millions paid with their lives because of it.
Countless millions? Still citing the black book of communism for your anti socialist drivel? You know that the majority of those numbers were outright manufactured or invented, these anti communist dogs even used Nazi deaths as "victims of communism"
If you call the USSR an empire then you have no understanding of communism or the USSR.
The very existence of the USSR was anti imperialist in nature as opposed to the western imperialist powers.
“The very existence was anti-imperialist in nature...”
I’m sorry? What “nature?” What is the “nature” of a state? There exists nothing but the demonstrated behavior of men, irregardless of whatever intentions you project onto them.
