Nostalgia is good but other peoples nostalgia is massively entertaining too! It's interesting to see what Soviet era machines were like and were/are very similar to Western games regardless of what Cold War propaganda said about Soviet nation citizens.

[@zerinzinia8660]

What did they said about Soviet nation citizens? !

[@reggiep75]

Zerin Zinia - Cold War propaganda spread by warmongers, politicians and other scumbags had citizens on all sides believing lies about the other side when none of it was true. People were manipulated into hating the other side yet people with common sense always asked 'Why should we hate someone we don't know!?' and 'Why would we wish for war, when it would likely kill us all!?'

[@AUmarcus]

Nice to see you realise both sides were pedalling BS.

[@Katya_Lastochka]

@@reggiep75 Except in America there is still Cold War propaganda. What's up, America? Can't you chill and enjoy your life?

[@reggiep75]

Pardon me, - I'm not American, I'm English where the UK is little more than a US vassal state to facilitate US foreign policy together with it's retarded wars too! You've jumped the gun a bit to early there and I'm anti-war too.

[@theundaunted5481]

I used own 43 classic machines while in high school, its how I learned to repair motherboards, design computers, make tons of money each week as my first company. Thanks for sharing this arcade post.

We have an arcade museum here in Daytona Beach, Florida too.....very cool place to visit. Ours is 20 Dollars for the entire day of free play. But like you mentioned, I doubt the younger generation would be very interested.

[@robatsea2009]

What a cool place - the first thing to catch my eye when you walked in was the photo booth, which was endless sources of amusement when growing up. I also used to play the submarine game we had here, which looks identical. Everything is so primitive to what kids can play today (or just technology in general) but as you've indicated we seemed to have way more fun with it.

[@angelg.8462]

I loved those old telephone booths 😉

Another Great episode of Real Russia. Encompassing the Games and times of Soviet Russia. It never ceases to Amaze me the amount of creativity you have Mr baklykov. Keep up the Stirling work.

[@tootalljones77]

Sergey, my name is John. I live in the United States. I stumbled across your videos on KZbin after meeting a woman from your hometown of Ufa, here in my city of Buffalo, NY. I've spent many hours following you on KZbin, to learn as much as possible about your country, its customs and traditions. I can't thank you enough for all of the entertainment you provide, all while sharing your country's rich history and culture. I feel like I've known you forever, lol. You have an incredible spirit, and a great sense of humor! God bless you- and your family. Also, you have a friend in Buffalo,NY who would open his home to you- and welcome you to stay anytime. I wish you much success.Take care, and Happy New Year!

[@josebodon2995]

cool vlog sergey thanks.

[@MrReichard]

Awesome episode!!! Thanks for this!

[@TheUniversalEyes]

The Soviet childhood was similar to the American childhood. I chewed tar from the roads also. My mother would brush my teeth with Acetone to remove it. I remember the mechanical arcade games also. Later video games were popular, but they cost too much money to own. A desired possession for kids during my time was a bicycle, I would dream about owning a BMX bicycle.

I seriously had to check the upload date 3 times as I thought you had accidentally uploaded a video from 2016!!! I was only watching the first video you made today and some others with the intro music hoping and wondering if you would be including your signature introduction previews again. Well done man!

Wow really interesting. I agree it is nostalgic and interesting for me to see the Soviet games.

Some of those games were in arcades in USA back in late 70s or early 80s. Of course they were in English.

[@maryvampiregirl666]

*Y E A H B A B Y* i'm not sure if this was a common sight everywhere, but here in my country you can easily spot arcade machines in drugstores, and people still play them.... those games look pretty cool too, i'm sure they are better than a lot of bad videogames i have played through my lifetime (i recognized the sea one because of a soviet animated short film titled 'Nehochuha')
