Very interesting, imagine how people would act today if something like this happened. sad to see how things have changed. i blame social media.... cool to see something like this! Thanks for posting

[@парень-водка]

Aint anyone gonna talk about how good the camera quality/resulation is? Considerin this was from 1988. If I hadnt knew what happened to the Soviet Union (its collapse) + the fact that R.Reagan had met peace after life, Id honestly think this event took place recently, around the early 2000s atleast

[@I3wave]

Yes I had the reaction also. The zoom quality on this camera is great for the time

It was probably filmed on film so they went back and rescanned it probably. I’m pretty sure that’s how they remaster a lot of older tv shows and movies.

[@kapatidtomas]

The fact that they played not only the U.S. anthem, which is the capitalist anthem... But also both that I noticed a Soviet and American march (notably Stars and Stripes Forever literally at the end of the videos and I was surprised that they actually managed to play and pull that off very impressive, but also side by side with the Russian/Soviet one? Damn do I honestly wish that I could find a longer Soviet version of Stars and Stripes though) Damn at least the Soviets had that fine Decency and outdone themselves coming though. Thank you the Soviet Union for some having respect at least! One of the best versions too, everything was almost right to like the original American versions though. UPDATE: Nevermind, already founded that Soviet version already, I knew that there is somewhere though. Not on the Reagan Libraries but on the others.

[@vechnoezabvenie]

It's a state reception, of course they played the visiting country's anthem before their own. It's the protocol, a form of courtesy.

Wait, how come he said “Gospodin President” instead of “Tavarisch President”? Or was he referring to Reagan, and as he was not a comrade he wasn’t referred to as such?

[@ezefinkielman4672]

Comrade was used to treat everyone in communist countries as equals. When foreign leaders visited the USSR, they were always called with the appropriate title of the country. Mr.President=Gospodin Prezident (Господин Президент)

[@MCDreng]

​​@@ezefinkielman4672 would they call leaders of other communist countries comrade? Like if Mao visited the USSR was he Tovarishch Mao or did they use his official title?

During the U.S. visit to the Soviet Union, the military band paid a lot of attention and brought in various experts, but during the Soviet visit to the U.S., the basic U.S. military band played without preparing anything..

[@stevedevries2891]

I love this. For those who lived through the cold war, you know what a big deal this was. To have the Soviets play our national anthem and show the respect they did gives me chills. Also, I love the Russian national anthem. I don't know the words, but from a music stand point, easily the second best national anthem in the world.

It’s a timing march, it gets everyone on beat to the rhythm, I’m sure they done it that aggressive to show up for the crowd a little bit, something we don’t see a lot in the US because the US lacks a lot of intensive drills for parade and marches, that’s always been the critique of the US military from a ceremonial perspective
