    My stepfather made this trip in 1989 only a couple of months before the wall fell. An East German had just been shot trying to escape. If only he knew that the wall would fall a couple of months later. Not sure if he had to follow these rules though as a Swedish civilian citizen or if relations with DDR was different. He mentioned they searched under the car with mirrors.

    The United states has accepted millions of immigrants front he former eastern/soviet black who were granted permanent residency by lying to the immigration authorities that life in the soviet union had been difficult and they had not been allowed to practice their BS weirdo religions when in fact they had had a happy and good life and nobody had stopped them from practicing any form of religion. These scumbags were admitted here through lies and deception and are now US citizens. Sold themselves as victims of a harsh soviet regime but had in fact had normal lives before and had been educated and fed by the soviet government and protected, mind you.

  • @ve6741

    The communism may be thought by the Western world to be unpractical and possibly even damaging but Soviet Union was living proof that it actually worked if correctly managed. I can’t say the same about N Korea or China and N Vietnam or the rest of the Eastearn block outside the USSR. But in modern day Russia there are still millions of people who grew up during the Soviet era and 99.98% of these witnesses will tell you that life back then was different. Stress-free and happy. Kids were happy. With free education, free healthcare job opportunities and generous pension plans you only wish youd go back in time to re-live it again. The Americans can badmouth the socialist regime all they want but the fact is socialism worked and was effective. I can’t imagine what a disgrace the SU would’ve been if it actually adopted the capitalism. It’s a good thing the soviet leaders didn’t allow that to happen.

    The fact that rent was between 40 and 140 dollars a month in most cases baffles me. Like here we are in a "better, and improved future" paying between 570 and 950 dollars month for smaller, shittier apartments which private companies own. So a man makes HUGE personal profit from my human right to have a roof over my head

    It is amazing the lies that pass for a "documentary." Did the Mongolian people have thousands of years of history. The Mongolians did not exist on the steppes of Mongolia until the 13th century AD. There had always been nomadic people living on the steppes of Mongolia, but the nomadic people living on the steppes were culturally different. During the Han Dynasty, the Chinese people had a written language and documented the people of the Mongolian steppes as Xiong-Nu at about 200 BC. Like all nomadic people they did not have a written language. The Mongols adopted Buddhism and modified Sanskrit as their written language. It is also well documented by the Chinese that several independent Mongol tribes were united by Chinggis Khan into one Mongolian people. After their unification the Mongol horsemen went on a rampage, conquering most of East Asia, Middle East, and Eastern Europe (feudal Russia). The Mongols were known for their brutality and they were able to conquer the largest land empire in history. Because of succession and inheritance the Mongol Empire was never unified as the conquered regions were inherited and controlled by the sons of the Mongol Khans. It is amazing the distortions or lies presented by the Indian narrator. If anything it is the Mongols who dominated other people through conquest and demand for tribute. In fact the Russians bitterly recall the Mongol domination as "wearing the Tartar yoke." But the Russian Imperial Army of the Romanovs would eventually conquer Mongolia, and make the Mongolians "wear the Russian yoke." It is obvious that the Soviet Bolsheviks have effectively dominated and brainwashed the Mongol people into submission. Mongolia is a Bolshevik satellite state. The Russian language are on signs everywhere. Soviet buses are used for public transportation. The passenger cars on the roads are Russian. The Mongolian Army wear Red Army uniforms and march like Bolshevik Soldiers. The modern, industrialized weapons are clearly Soviet Red Army equipment. This so called documentary was filmed in 1986. Beginning in the late 1950s Poland, Czechoslovakia, and Hungary tried to gain independence from their Soviet overlord. Yet it seems that most Mongolians were content with Bolshevik mind control. Are the Mongolian people that easy to brainwash? We see many modern conveniences at Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia. We see Mongolian students studying science, doing research, and operating industrial factories. We also see Mongolians living their traditional life herding animals, riding Bactrian Camels, and riding Mongolian Ponies. It seems all the science and modern conveniences are brought into Mongolia from Soviet Russia. The challenge for the Mongolians are the same for the people of the Indian Subcontinent and Mainland China. The advances created by the modern world are not just mental exercises to be practiced and graded in school. You have to truly change your society or you will remain poor and backwards. I am amazed by some of the comments. Are people really that misinformed. It seems a lot people have lost the ability to think for themselves.

    Like people say, this is the mid 1990s NOT anything to do with the 1980s sadly :( The endeavour replica was launched 1993-1994 so that dates things well.

    I don't remember exactly, but I'm fairly certain Forrest Chase and the modern Myer complex wasn't built until the 1990s. In any case, the narrator mispronouncing all the place names mentioned the West Coast Eagles premiership; the Eagles first of those wasn't until 1992, and they did it again in 1994. We beat Geelong both times to take it, so it's not clear which year he's referencing. However I remember both the elderly gentleman with the puppets, and the clown on stilts as a young adult, at a time when I was already driving myself to the city. That was late 1994. But that's a guess at best, it was a long time ago. 1992 certainly the earliest...

    Very good documentary ! 5 stars. Although makes me wonder what in the world made them dissolve the union? To buy jeans and shiny toys from west? Abandon free housing, free medical, dirt cheap transport, rent, food, but hey, I now got Levis ! I think the people voted overwhelmingly to be in the union (I read around 80% from all republics except the baltics). So it was just some corrupt politicians like yeltsin and his ukrainian counterpart at the time who wanted to loot their republics by dissolving the union.
