Collapse of the USSR - Raw Footage of Soviet Soldiers Receiving Food Aid (1991)

On 30 December 1991, ITN filmed Soviet soldiers in the German city of Potsdam as they worked to unload a delivery of Western aid destined for the Russian city of Smolensk. In March 1991, East and West Germany had reunified, while just weeks before this footage was filmed, on 12 December 1991, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) had become the Russian Federation. With so much change occurring so quickly, it is unsurprising that the old Communist insignia remained on the uniforms of the soldiers. As well as filming in Potsdam, ITN also filmed at three other locations along the route of the aid convoy: in Berlin, the capital of the recently-reunified Germany; in the Belarussian city of Brest, where British aid volunteers spent time with Soviet soldiers; and in Smolensk, the convoy's final destination.

We have been made aware of an error in this video. The first section of film, which the on-screen text describes as taking place in Smolensk, Russian Federation, was in fact filmed in Potsdam, Germany. We always do our utmost to ensure that footage we share with you on here is contextualised accurately but, on this occasion, we made a mistake. We're lucky that our audience is international, informed, and engaged enough to notice such mistakes on the rare occasion they're made. Thanks for watching, we hope you found this video as fascinating as we did!

[@lettoreentusiasta9374]

If you had a shred of honesty, you would change the misleading title. These are foodstuffs sent not to Russia, but to East Germany, where Russian troops had been disconnected from supplies due to the breakup of the USSR. That was a temporary problem (the Russian troops returned home after some time) but it was advertised as "food crisis". Furthermore, the game was easy: break up a state and then send aid with the English flag, in front of the cameras of an English TV. And the REAL hunger would come LATER, with Yeltsin's government. You can fool many, but not all.

Did someone starve to death? What a blatant lie.

[@snowdogthewolf]

Don't forget the near $10 Billion USD (factoring inflation) given to Russia after the collapse from the US to mitigate Russian starvation. Not to mention the $180 billion from the lend/lease program that kept the 3rd Reich from advancing further into Russia. It's hard to believe Russians today believe the yanks are trying to dismantle their nation when the yanks pulled Russia from the quicksand multiple times.

The depiction as „Smolensk“ in the first 15 minutes is completely wrong. This is the Alexander Nevskiy chapel in Potsdam, East Germany. Right next to it were Soviet military units and a closed KGB quarter. Also the historical „Russian Colony Alexandrowka“ is right next to it and its a historical landmark in Potsdam. How do I know? I live only 300 metres from this particular place and just look at the civilian cars in this video. This is Germany. Edit: at 13:52 you can see a tiny poster at the wall, written in German and mentioning Potsdam for some certain event.

Так точно. Это Die russisch-orthodoxe Alexander-Newski-Gedächtniskirche in Potsdam. Эмблемы на автомобилях принадлежат ЗГВ. Вероятно, что подписи были выставлены исходя из аннотаций приложенных к плёнке, и на каком-то этапе возникла ошибка. Во всяком случае последние кадры похоже Смоленск.

[@detoxer6891]

Let me explain the context. Throughout 91 years, the USSR was falling apart politically - its members left the union. The previously accumulated problems in the reforms were supplemented by the collapse of economic ties between producers. There is an acute shortage of food products in the capital. Later, it will manifest itself even more acutely with a sharp transition to a market economy, and specifically, price liberalization🙂. All these two years, Western countries, in order to somehow soften the transition to the market in Russia, supplied food and humanitarian aid.

It may seem that our current perestroika could be called ‘revolution from above’. True, the perestroika drive started on the Communist Party’s initiative, and the Party leads it. I spoke frankly about it at the meeting with Party activists in Khabarovsk in the summer of 1986. We began at the top of the pyramid and went down to its base, as it were. Yes, the Party leadership started it. The highest Party and state bodies elaborated and adopted the program. True, perestroika is not a spontaneous but a governed process.” (From the English edition, via Christopher Story’s “The European Union Collective”, page 83. - No further explanation needed, Gorbachev himself most openly reveals the facts all by himself: Plannedly and controlledly, the Party and State organs reshaped themselves into a ‘new form’ more suitable to carry out the final bit of the world revolution. That was all!)

Не будет будущего у человечества, пока есть капиталисты. Дураки думают, что они будут лучше жить при эксплуататорстве народа частниками и группами капиталистов, где нет стремления к развитию и будущему, где процветает культ разврата и само эгоизма, где человек живет кредитами и боится за свою работу, где процветает ненависть к национальностям. Их преступлениям нет предела. Благодаря Хрущеву, Горбачеву и последующим уродам была отравлена моя Родина, отголоски чего вы видите до сих пор. Мне стыдно за людей, которые чтят класс угнетателей капиталистов и их приспешников националистов.

This is the reason we ended up back in a Cold War the west constantly belittled the USSR after Gorbachev/Reagans Glasnost/Perestroika in the 80s after which the USA/UK took advantage of Russia's downfall, until. Until Putin entered the arena, he had pride and so began the restoration of his country, just like anyone who was capable of doing, would do. He began the rebuild of the nation to what it is today no matter what the west says about him he created a Russia to envy the British and the Americans have sadly realised this too late before getting into a proxy war with them which they now very much regret. The Russians have shown the World they are no push over and that they want to protect their own borders which they have a right to do the Americans/UK have been trying to get NATO involved now they realise the power of Russia. This War is over and 2024 will see a withdrawal of western support for what really are just gangsters who run UKRAINE.

The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics opened an era of a new type of development of culture and civilization, and its experience in crushing Nazism is invaluable today, in the context of a global conflict, the main front of which has been transferred to Ukraine, believes Professor of Philosophy at the Technical University of Crete Dimitrios Patelis, Candidate of Philosophy. "On December 30, 2022, all progressive humanity celebrates the centenary of the creation of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. The USSR, the fruit of the first early victorious revolution, opened the era of a revolutionary transition to a new type of development of culture and civilization: to a united humanity. This was the triumph of the revolutionary creativity of the oppressed, proven by the example of the USSR "that they can take their destiny into their own hands, emancipate society, begin unprecedented revolutionary transformations, overcoming antagonisms and exploitation, towards a society of solidarity and humanity," Patelis said. In his opinion, the triumphal march of the USSR is associated with the world-historical achievements of man: the fight against illiteracy, the establishment of a number of social benefits, free education, healthcare, medical care, proper rest, the rapid development of the economy, society, science, technology, sports, art and culture . “A titanic feat was the crushing of the anti-Comintern axis by the Soviet Red Army thanks to the self-denial and self-sacrifice of the entire people of the USSR, ensuring the world with nuclear parity, internationalist assistance to the world anti-imperialist movement, as well as primacy in space exploration. A clear example of internationalism is providing access to education in USSR universities to students from different capitalist countries, thanks to which I personally received an excellent education,” the professor noted. What did the Soviet government of the USSR give to the people? 1.The right to an eight-hour working day. For the first time in the world in the history of mankind. 2. The right to annual paid leave. For the first time in human history. 3. The impossibility of dismissing an employee on the initiative of the administration or the owner without the consent of the trade union and party organization. 4. The right to work, to the opportunity to earn a living by one’s own labor. Moreover, graduates of vocational educational institutions had the right to compulsory employment in the labor field with the provision of housing in the form of a dormitory or apartment. 5. The right to free general and vocational education. Moreover, both secondary vocational education and higher education. For the first time in the world. 6. The right to free use of preschool institutions: nurseries, kindergartens, pioneer camps. For the first time in the world. 7. The right to free medical care. For the first time in the world. 8. The right to free sanatorium and resort treatment. For the first time in the world. 9. The right to free housing. For the first time in the world 10. The right to protect the state from the arbitrariness of local bosses and officials. For the first time in the world. 11. The right to free travel to the place of work or study using an individual travel document paid for by the state. For the first time in the world. In addition, women had the right to a number of additional benefits: 1. The right to three years of maternity leave with job retention. (56 days - fully paid, 1.5 years - benefits, 3 years - without interruption of service and a ban on dismissal from the administration.). 2. The right to free foster care for a child for up to one year. 3. The right to a free dairy kitchen for newborns up to three years of age. 4. The right to free medical and sanatorium-resort treatment for any childhood diseases. There was nothing like this in any country in the world and there could not even be a trace of it. Some social benefits in foreign countries began to appear only after the Second World War as a result of a powerful labor movement caused by the existence on the planet of the Soviet state, the State of Workers and Peasants.
