Something that fascinates me with this particular era of the Soviet Union is how much the rest of the world isolating them worked to their benefit when every other currency collapsed and businesses and workers flooded into the USSR

I absolutely love this stuff. My grandparents were in the finnish communist party so naturally they have a lot of really old books from the ussr printed in finnish, my grandmother gave a lot of them to me and the oldest are from the 30s aswell. Its such a lovely but also kind of melancholy feeling reading through them. Like a glass time machine you cant climb out of. Seeing people go about their daily life on the streets of Leningrad nearly a hundred years ago. You can wave all you want but they wont see (Also the audio sounded great to me)

what a beautiful paper. it just seems like every page feels like it contains clues on what a better world could look like, with a wholesomeness that melts through all the lies we were taught growing up in America. i hope we can all read the news like this again some day.

At 25:30 you ask about bonds. It appears to be "Government Loan Bonds" (I'm not sure if the translation is correct). The government wanted to raise more money for big projects (like industrialization, etc.). To do this, they sold bonds to people. Sometimes, in the hardest years, they would just give away part of your paycheck with Bonds instead of money. Bonds were different. With some you could later buy rare commodities. Some didn't give you an advantage, but you could win big or small amounts of money (that is, a bond was also a lottery ticket). But the most common were regular interest bonds. You bought it, conventionally, for 100 rubles. And then you would get 1 ruble every month for 110 months. (I made up these prices and percentages myself; in reality, they were always different.)

22:20 I don't blame you at all for having trouble with his name! Heh, but fun fact: Ordjonikidze* was a friend of Stalin's from a pretty good way back. He was also from the Caucasus (I believe Georgian, as well). *Also spelled Ordzhonikidze, as shown in the paper. That seems to be common with Georgian names represented in English; it can be a "j" or "zh." Good video! And btw, I'd say ignore people who post annoying comments. Even just delete them/ban them if you want, or they do it repeatedly. This is your channel, and you're not obligated to give them a platform. Plus, we deal with anticommunist garbage enough as it is anyway, heh.

Ngl I was completely nerding out at all the science articles. Makes me miss the time when scientific breakthroughs, or even the "lull" in between breakthroughs as scientists make endless series of imperfect prototypes and grapple with concepts not yet completely understood, got multiple big articles in the paper, and scientists as well as workers were regarded as heroes, men as well as women.

Calling the budenovka a "helmet" was an understandable mistake I think, seeing as the design is based on medieval Slavic helmets and was originally called "bogatyrka" which seems to mean something like "knight-errant's cap" or "paladin's cap." I love that there were medievalist nerds designing 1st gen. Soviet uniforms.

Hi Izdihar! I saw your video about a Soviet book haul. Do you have a list of commonly-available book recommendations for those interested in Soviet history, especially from a socialist or working class perspective? I am really interested in learning more about the Soviet Union.

At minute 17, you talk about how you didn't like the way that article was written. Indeed, in the 1930s the speech was... noticeably more direct and crude. The Bolsheviks always spoke directly. They might well have said that some people were three hundred years behind in development. But they were just as direct in saying that they themselves were ten or a hundred years behind in something. Considering that they were always trying to help everyone get over that lag, but of the direct and coarse words don't look so bad. They had nothing to be ashamed of.

I can talk more about the paper in the future. Right now the only archive that holds it does not allow individuals to access it (even me they've denied me 3 times) the archive can only be accessed if you are local library or university/institution as a partnership with "East View" but there's a really cool Russian website that goes over the highlights from the newspaper at least from the 1930s that they use in Russian classrooms to educate students.

Yeah that’s one thing that’s frustrating. A lot of people living in the capitalist west are completely blind to their biases and the fact that every country has propaganda. It’s so juvenile Came in strong with amazing mechanical illustrations with the old philosophers have only interpreted the world the point is to change it ❤

Regarding the article "From Stone Age to Socialism" - I tried reading it but the letters were illegible even with 1080p video resolution. Are you positive that the framing was disparaging towards the community in question, and not simply describing the material conditions they lived in?
