which the russians, the soviets knew as ara. they pronounced it as one word. >> the soviets gained -- did every effort to gain control. at least to gain the appearance of control. at the same time, they went to great lengths to minimize the importance of the relief in the eyes of their citizens. even its true source, calling it a gift from the american proletariat. also, soviet officials were quite content to see the rumors spread that the confiscation of russian orthodox church treasures, which was going on at that time, was the result of the need to pay for american relief. that this food had to be paid for. it was free -- it was nonsense, right? also, there is a lot of harassment of ara local staff. as one would imagine, the staffers be ara hired, those dispossessed by the revelation. they speak foreign languages. they may have accounting skills. they served as secretaries, kitchen managers, cooks, inspectors, warehousemen, et cetera. the americans naturally sought out people who spoke for languages, ones that they might unde

the soviet workers.ds of citizens of the ussr visited sanatoriums and tourist bases in the carpathian mountains, a special popular and polish resort town. surrounded by evergreen fir forests , the city of truskavets is located, one of the most comfortable and comfortable resorts in western ukraine, in recent years its medical recreation base has significantly expanded, first of all, a new trade union health complex for 4,000 places . which is especially widely known, used for the treatment of diseases kidneys. in 1927, one of the main symbols appeared in kiev. or, as they would say now, the brands of soviet ukraine, the football club dynamo kiev , who stood at the origins of the legendary team, the employees of the kiev agpu, did not even suspect. what glory awaits their young team with its bright, unique game and a whole constellation of outstanding players. kiev dynamo won the hearts of tens of millions of fans in all corners of the soviet union in moscow match of the national championship met moscow s

union president of the supreme soviet of the soviet government on the occasion of today's validity of national holiday of the day victory his speeches leonidalich said that the memorial complex is a grateful tribute to the memory of those who fought in the name of life and happiness of the motherland in the name of deliverance from fascist slavery of the peoples of europe and other continents. almost every leader of the soviet union contributed to the creation of the current ukrainian state. one of the most generous gifts was noted by the former head of the ukrainian communist party nikita khrushchev in 1954 , on his initiative, soviet ukraine was unexpectedly presented with all the inhabitants of cities and health resorts, one of the most beautiful and strategically important areas of the russian peninsula. crimea for the sake of this operation , even the constitution of the ussr was violated, but the will of the secretary general. then it meant more. in general, its appearance on the political map of the world, ukraine is entirely obliged to the leader and the creator of the soviet

in the seventies , 33% of soviet coal was mined in ukraine and 48% of soviet iron was smelted. this became possible thanks to the leninist national policy. after all, it was the bolsheviks who deliberately included several industrially developed regions of the former russian empire in the ukrainian ussr they created, so that, as they themselves said, to increase the percentage of the proletariat of soviet ukraine ukraine was a source of raw materials, cheap labor force , and this once very small alchevsk plant also belonged to the society's market. look at what it has become during the years of soviet power, the old alchevsk named after voroshilov is called this is the new marten, such a workshop could be proud of, even the metallurgy of kuznetsk and magnitogorsk, and europe does not know furnaces of such power 500 tons per melt anatoly tolstorev. this is already the third generation of craftsmen who tied their fate with the fate of their native factory. looks at us through someone else's eyes, he sees only agrarian ukraine and we smelt one cast iron as much as it smelts, franc

why why not immediately the soviet union the soviet army had much more powerful conventional non-nucleares in europe? continent and the nuclear power of the united states of america has not yet been so powerful so powerful that the americans. considered themselves considered possible to cope with the soviet union, the americans tried to introduce. in the understanding of the soviet leadership, what they have several hundred nuclear bombs that will be dropped on almost the entire territory of the soviet union but this was misinformation. which, as far as i remember, did not make any impression on the soviet leadership, which, thanks to our intelligence , knew the reality that there were only americans. yes, there are, but only three bombs for that period. it was a very serious operation, provocative informational to intimidate the soviet union and pay attention, despite the fact that the americans and the british had strategic missile aviation funds. there hasn't been a delivery yet. and this, of course, greatly weakened the air strikes on the soviet union. especially in the presence of a

the christmas tree dresses up in soviet stars eight-pointed soviet five-pointed.gels clay heads fold their wings leaving the holiday their place on the branches is occupied by new heavenly inhabitants. not silver skates , a gun and a fabulous silver armored car, who would have thought that this place on the christmas tree of an elderly arlekino is being replaced by a wadded red army soldier on skis he has a company of a sailor, a signalman leaves the old world of the christmas tree, a replacement is found for everything a christmas nativity scene with baby jesus and the magi. the very heart of the holiday gives way. papanin on an ice floe at the end of the thirty-sixth, soviet aircraft for the first time delivered to the north pole a drifting expedition of people, a radio tent and a dog on top of the world. this event in the minds of soviet agitators, of course, overshadows the birth of a son. god's well, or equivalent, and in the morning in the newspaper in december on the christmas tree , the zis-110 car was released in forty-fifth, real and christmas tree in th

the revival of shiism, and in islam , led to the islamic revolution and the soviet union. we also had relatively good relations with iran and america is not nobody, that suddenly a completely new iran appears, a completely new rank and from now on iran starts to play again some very special party in world history. islamic revolution. she created a unique precedent in which a state appeared on the world map in the conditions of the cold war, hostile to the united states of america and capable in the face of severe economic and political sanctions, both from the outside, and from the west and from the outside. e, the closest regional neighbors able to survive to achieve economic development and in general to be an alternative model of economic development policy. he falls under terrible sanctions. he steals in the cruelest way from iraq he helps the afghan mujahideen. who are fighting against the soviet union everywhere iran we remember that we seem to have good relations with iran letovich. brezhnev congratulates, and her taluha mini e, on various holidays, but aitolahomyan

forgotten by the soviet people. the same thing happened here, but for entirely different reasons. leave it there. okay. today i am going to speak to you about an american who became president of the united states without ever having held a elective public office. he was a very successful who before he got the urge to enter public life, had a fortune, built on business interests in many countries, including russia. in the year he ran successfully president some in the conservative establishment of his disparaged him as pushy outsider, while some in the opposition party sent to europe to seek out dirt on his business dealings overseas about. which president am i speaking? not the one you may be thinking of. my subject today is herbert hoover and his interest in russia, a country that intrigued and troubled him for more than half a century, mr. hoover was born iowa in 1874. by the age of one, he had worked his way through stanford as a member of its pioneer and had ambitions of becoming a mining engineer. after graduat

and soviet nuclear weapons. it was a history making step toward reducing the nuclear arms of both sides. but it was just a beginning. now, in geneva, soviet and american representatives are discussing a 50% reduction in strategic nuclear weapons. perhaps we can have a treaty ready to sign by our meeting in spring. the world prays that we will. we on the american side are determined to try. you see, we have a vision of a world safe from the threat of nuclear war. and indeed, all war. such a world would have far fewer missiles and other weapons. today, both america and the soviet union have an opportunity to develop a defensive shield against ballistic missiles, a defensive shield that will threaten no one for the sake of a safer peace. i am committed to pursuing the possibility that technology offers the general secretary, and i also anticipate continuing our talks about other issues of deep concern to our peoples. for example, the expansion of contact between our peoples and more information flowing across our b

forgive the soviet project.rs that we have now crossed and in which yanina here convinced that they would be recognized by the european union, this is also a soviet product ukrainization film adaptation, purely soviet policy. and which went in relation to the donbass throughout the entire period of the ussr therefore, if there really are some ideological bandera names in honor of bandera upa. yes, they need to be washed. you don't want to anyway. here is the answer. don't know or don't want to or ca n't when i say maybe it's us trying. uh, uh, get close, damn it, with those people who lived in soviet times, just like here we are in a country called the soviet union, we all remember it there, if we were good, even maxim anatolyevich, if we know how to get closer on the basis of a dead project, on the basis of carrion, longing for carrion. well, this project will be the same theft. if we unite in the royal, the empire fell - this is also a dead thing. this is what we will push donbass away from, by the way, the ts

i.e. the soviet union a. threatened to use military force if aggression against species is not stopped, up to the use of possible nuclear weapons. the soviet union, uh, supported the golemar itself, uh, the beginning of coming to power. ah, this leader. again, the soviet union was one of the leaders of the anti-colonial movement around the world, and many african states, in the late fifties and early sixties, acquiring independence, turned to the soviet union was used, and the socialist model of development in general. they could be considered our direct allies, but here it is important not to forget. either france and great britain are us allies in nato, and the united states of america at that time wanted to establish friendly relations with the arab countries, and in order to reduce the influence of the soviet union in these states. this is certainly the support that the soviet union provided to gamal abdelnasar in this crisis. tut uh, the famous ultimatum khrushchev, of course, he scared the european coun

these are the first ordinary soviet citizens who have entered the land of the soviet shrine, they areoliday. in the st. george hall of the grand kremlin palace, they celebrate the fifty-fourth year then the christmas tree becomes the kremlin one. we are in the kremlin today, a new status, a new scope. here santa claus gets out of the car, sentries of the kremlin regiment salute him and grandfather cheerfully climbs the front stairs of the large kremlin palace, he does not resemble anything. the kremlin tree the soviet kingdom the proletarian star on the monarch 's scepter the stubborn horse of the scarlet star will burn the lights of our christmas tree were made into a fairy tale. here came the future captains of interplanetary ships, the wizard with the star of the hero came to the holiday of labor in a suit. superman's first soviet satellite in the role of a magic wand cosmonauts golden age of the soviet new year foundation the soviet new year's fairy tale decision of the party the accomplishment of the government. explains to the people the benefits of corn. here she is for the hol

in addition, soviet russia is in the economic blockade of the country.tes great britain france italy usa japan completely stopped economic relations with our country and forced to support such sanctions as they would say today. and many other countries the first embargo sanctions against young the soviet state was revealed declared back in 1917, then the entente countries that took part in the war against the soviet e. the republics announced to them a barr for gold for export for sale for trade in resources. and there was a fairly large list of products of the soviet union, maybe no less, and maybe even more than this list, which is now and these sanctions were in effect until february 1920 year, the reason for the imposition of sanctions was the conclusion of a separate peace with germany, we recall that germany lost the first world war and then it was also under entente sanctions. in addition, in soviet russia there was a nationalization of enterprises owned by foreign capital and the councils refused to pay. entente sanctions on the debts of the russ

the soviet command sought to defend the peninsula at any cost. only the main base of the black sea fleet, but also airfields were located here. from where our aviation could strike at romania, the main supplier of oil for the german army, storm the peninsula. hitler instructed one of his best generals, eric von manstein, after defeating the soviet union, planned to rename the crimea in the year of the earth year in 1941, at one of the meetings, hitler bluntly declared to his subordinates that the peninsula should be completely cleared of the local population and populated by colonists from germany, in particular , immigrants from the southern terror. crimea with the adjacent northern lands was the only region of russia that the germans planned to include directly into germany, the historical rationale for this decision was that in ancient times, during the great migration of the people , settlements of the year of one of the germanic tribes appeared here, and allies dreamed of getting the russian peninsula into their possession hitler runes. here

the soviet union. and barely two years after that, joseph would consolidate power and hold it for three decades until his death. 1953. stalin was taking on the role with this magnanimous called the eschatological. in other words, the supposed or the self-proclaimed in bringer of the end times of in this case a perfect, classless society. and we saw the masses of victims in yesterday's lecture that resulted spanning agricultural collectivization, forcible bringing famine with millions dead in ukraine and kazakhstan in the early to mid 1930s brought over a million dead in the great terror campaign that was waged throughout the soviet union and the half of the 1930s decimating soviet society, especially its upper echelon. and it also created something that we discussed on friday, this idea of the heritability of class identity. in other words that you had passed down to you from your parents or your grandparents generation. whatever negative traits the bolsheviks like to call these counter or reactionary

dmitry irina kharlamova andrey not required to lead how the soviet nuclear shield was created, how theld's first nuclear power plant was launched . his work saved the world from the third world war. although it carried a colossal destructive power , kurchatov was the first to understand that these weapons should not be used by the soviet union's nuclear shield american intelligence agencies the soviet union needed at least another 10 years to create atomic gods, he launched the world's first nuclear power plant on earth . i can say that we remember kurchatov many times a day. whose letters he buried all his life. igor you are the only one among thousands for the first time i see such a living person the father of the soviet atomic bomb, an honorary citizen of the ussr genius and peacemaker igor kurchatov calls igor kurchatov the father of the soviet atomic bomb, but this is just one of his many achievements. it's stormy development of science, which with the suburban network of the progress of human society, the role of a scientist and his contribution to world science go far beyond th

it was dropped on the soviet union as a warning of what's going to have the soviets, if they interfered with americans post war plan. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation, let it be in arms. race is often very dramatic development only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical time time to sit down and talk with awe. on november, the 3rd 1945, just a month after the war ended, the u. s. joint chiefs of staff receive report number 3 to 9. select 20 targets to attack in the soviet union with nuclear bombs. the time was right. as the u. s. s. all was devastated by war. united states last about 400000 people had the brit sloss less than the americans did as the soviets suffered 27000000 deaths. mm mm. but it's 7000000.

and more efficient most high-tech industrial potential of the soviet union the soviet union was ruledians , or rather for quite a long time our ministers, and the russian army can only be imagined from ukrainians. i advise that it is absolutely impossible for the police to infringe on the rights of ukrainians in the soviet union, well, there definitely wasn’t, because if the language had not been artificially supported, if millions of books had not been published in ukrainian, if the ukrainian writer had not been translated if there were in yakut or uzbek and in the language of the peoples of the world, then, well, firstly, no one would know ukrainian culture without the support of the soviet union, there would be no ideology communism, she was and the force that i gave ukraine peace of mind stabilization ended. uh, the period of stabilization collapsed the soviet union and the unknown future for ukraine begins from the ninety-first year in 1991 shortly. after the so-called august, a lot. in ukraine, a referendum of independence was held, its results. they immediately supported more a

bombs were supposed to be dropped on 100 soviet cities in january 1957, a nuclear attack on the soviet union was supposed to destroy 10 million people. and 85% of our industrial potential we would not have with you. and in this sense, the steering wheel turns it. she was a civilizational adversary who was preparing a powerful nuclear potential to attack our country. however, in 1949, the tests of the soviet atomic bomb sobered the aggressor, the nuclear parity that was subsequently achieved saved the stock exchanges from nuclear war forever. after testing a nuclear bomb, kurchatov took a vacation for the first time from the beginning of the atomic project, and then entered into a new battle with american scientists, took part in the creation of a hydrogen or thermonuclear bomb and, at the same time, began to do what he had planned from the very beginning of work on the bomb, peaceful atom projects. from the memoirs of academician anatoly alexandrov, a participant in the atomic project, kurchatov formed not only the scope of work to solve the problem and create an atomic bomb, but also

just not about soviet do not do the soviet do.o of the communist party anti-yuring into the program, prayed for the complete collection of lenin's work, we are talking about the books that we are now faced with, uh, the general global threat is coming to the whole world. there the whole west is against us. and the whole world, okay , the whole west, respectively, we should not really need to prepare for this. wait west a good bad thing is everything we're into at some point, as opposed to but the west of these united states decided that patriotic education, as such in schools, we do not need it, not in literature. it's true to the house that we now, well, it looks like. this is at first glance. we are again trying to take some examples of methods from the past and the soviet past. how much are these methods? let's show all the same, how honest i was your methods. we are all the time. in general, they also, as it were, how to say it, peeped, yes, because, no matter how closed it was. so our soviet society, and no matter how we talk

portrayal of the era in soviet union would continue really right up to the end of the soviet regime, or at least until mikhail became president in 1985. this is the favorite example of mine. i own this book. it's called the translation, an english diversion under the flag of aid, 1985 book. the book's title page announces it as an artistic documentary story. in fact, the documentary sections were new and useful. the time of publication. the rest of it makes it perfectly evident what kind of artist the author deserved to be called. it features heroic operatives foiling, the intrigues of the american imperialists. you know, the ira men are all active agents of military intelligence. there's a lot of that. but for the most part, the ira mission is really purposely ignored by the soviet authorities, thus slowly forgotten by the soviet people. the same thing happened here, but for entirely different reasons. leave it there. okay. today i am going to speak to you about an american who became president of the united states without ever having held a elective public office. he was a very suc

and the soviets suffer 27000000 deaths. mm mm. 27000000 a. john kennedy gave us american universe a commencement address it back to 63. he said that what the soviet suffered of world war 2 was the equivalent of the entire united states, east of chicago having been destroyed. mm. initially, the plan to attack the u. s. l was code named trojan, overtime it evolved into pincher bush. lega, crankshaft half moon, cold wheel, off tackle and cherry, a. dia, december 19th, 1949 saw the adoption of the best known plan to wipe out the soviets operation, dropshot, date of attack, january. the 1st 1957 mm. the plan outlines the complete annihilation of the usa. so under the democratic guise of liberating the nations from communism that those very nations would be wiped out alone with communism. in the 1st phase of authoration, dropshot in visits dropping 300 nuclear and 250000 tons of conventional bombs on the soviet union. in 100 soviet cities were pre selected as targets. the 2nd phase, the u. s. sr is attacked by 250 nato divisions. soviet poets taken

union and the soviet union itself, of course, for the soviet union this was unacceptable the soviet already at that time was striving for independence and sovereignty both in international politics and in domestic politics and we see that this is the desire of the united states to dictate domestic political decisions to other countries, when they see themselves as such a city on a hill that can teach everyone a and with help. some kind of economic blackmail and pressure to influence both on the domestic and foreign policy of the state and actually erode its sovereignty, and it remains today. of the 17 countries that received us aid , fewer than half of the one in five european countries that achieved economic miracles managed to implement the marshall plan. spain received no aid as planned. marshal at the same time, great britain, which received funds more than the rest, in economic development lagged far behind the european leaders of the economic boom. everything, but producing, and concerns became for some reason dependent on each other and no one noticed right away, and then, wh

the soviet side completed the withdrawal of personnel of missile weapons and equipment in soviet americannce then a number of very important agreements have been signed agreements aimed at e, limiting and reducing nuclear signals of this salt-1 and the treaty that did not enter into force salt-2, the cis two two current start-3, if not for the lessons that we learned from the cuban missile crisis of 1962. and we would never have realized how dangerous for the fate of the world can be balancing on the brink of war with the use of nuclear arsenals. this awareness did not come immediately, of course, the nuclear bombing of their radiant nagasaki was the only example of the use of nuclear weapons against the civilian population, but in august 1945, but only thanks to the caribbean crisis. we, uh, have come to understand the unacceptability of the final result. since the logic of nuclear deterrence is based on the fact that it makes no sense to use nuclear weapons. if, as a retaliatory strike, another state will also in response a use the existing nuclear arsenal. that is why in the field of a

the creation of the soviet nuclear shield. kurchatov understood that beria was exactly the person who could provide the atomic project with the necessary scale and coordination of speed, despite his exceptional position in the party government in the world, he found time for personal contact that interested him people. even if these people did not have high titles and high positions. living with prostatitis is hard, and if fibrosis is added to prostatitis, it's even harder. the smart enzyme langidase helps reduce inflammation and break down fibrosis so that symptoms don't turn life around longidase is just anti-fibrosis for prostatitis, the recommended course is two packs. here they are dogs, when a beloved grandmother says that she is happy to remember this and thank the one who taught you to believe in yourself and conquer your first love and inspire you to take the first step. enterumin is a new generation enterosorbent, its mineral matrix removes toxins from the body while retaining useful substances. yes , so enterumin is

august 1949, the first soviet atomic bomb is tested. on this day, a new nuclear power with an atomic monopoly was born. the usa was finished. they were sure the soviet union would be able to create nuclear weapons no earlier than 1953 and miscalculated for almost 5 years the news about the tests of a nuclear bomb in the ussr became a shock for them peacefully on the planet after the second world war or our great patriotic war has survived since then only because kurchatov does, of course, he is not alone, but nevertheless kurchatov's personality is obvious absolutely she was going to. successful work on the creation of the soviet atomic bomb not only made it possible to establish nuclear parity with the americans. well, it prevented the atomic bombing of the soviet union. according to the dropshot plan developed in 1949, that is, an instant strike of 300 nuclear bombs was supposed to be dropped on 100 soviet cities in january 1957, a nuclear attack on the soviet union was supposed to destroy 10 million people. and 85% of the industrial

any attempt by the soviets to compete against the anglo saxons had to be crushed forever. the usaa has to be eliminated immediately. general george s. patton, commander of the u. s. 3rd army demands that the troops do not stop at the elder, but move on toward stalingrad with on june 29th. 1945 stone. and who already knows about the operation orders marshal shook off to move troops to combat positions in the west. mm. it is now clear to the allies that a surprise attack is no longer possible then charger. the conclusion. he died from creek sca famine and started automobile easier. tut, dean die chanda annoyed to buffalo chapter genie chavo and all my stories in not iceland. when she did, but some of my friends calmed starting in rocky. i was just and as she is, so i found a bus mafia dot on georgia. you had that beneath me thing for me. it was in the phone. he says, wi fi like a dish. divest, mr. that's enough. we're no longer interested in a union with the russians, so we don't have to abide by the agreements with them. we need to make the alter records non existent, mary

i'm used to a real theater to a non-soviet one.hat tomorrow, as a child, we came to kyiv. khrystyna is caucasian theater that was not soviet, you kept it there, it was archaic, but it was real, you know that ancient, some armenian, georgian , azerbaijani theater there were beautiful actors who also remained in these traditions of their the collective and they were not touched there, they always beat us on the head and thought that franko's father was because he spoke a language that i understood and he could somehow understand there was hnata yura there was yakovchenko it was all so juicy that something healthy could grow out of it a the russian theater should be a free gift, it is understood as a universally understood culture , and that is why it was actually turned into a museum in the soviet language. here, i had a theater in moscow . it's the 18th century, and that's why the people in this theater are always reactionaries, the great elina bystrytska, who was born in kyiv, supported the annexation of crimea, think what a shame
