USSR TV End of Day Sign-off with Anthem (Translated into English + Subtitled)

[@shadowthespikythingy]

The "it is now safe to turn off your compu--uhm--TV" sign is meant to protect the CRT from burn out. There were no screen savers back in the day and even if there were, it made no sense to keep all that broadcasting equipment powered on just to prevent some idiot's left on TV from developing burn spots. Burn out doesn't mean "catching fire" - CRTs are coated with a special substance that emits light when hit by the CRT's ray gun - its how they draw an image. Now, if you leave your TV open, that coating eventually will start wearing off in the most bombarded areas. This is why on old monitors you'll see those burn spots taking the shape of text characters because that was the most displayed thing. Someone probably associated that buzzer sound with a bomb and made a joke about TVs exploding and others ran with it because it fits the age old myth that Soviet technology was so backwards it had to be comically broken.

It's probably because we all know the reality of USSR.

The reason this makes me sad is it shows a beautiful depiction of the USSR, the most idealized and perfect version of what the Party thought they were.

Flamer I guess I wasn’t clear on that. He did this on purpose, i suppose maybe the word Destroy was a bit overtone. The Soviet Union held no good in this world. However, what I getting from your response is free speech leads to harm? Technically, Gorbachev didn’t even dissolve the Soviet Union. That was Boris Yeltsins doing (good man). Gorbachev destroyed the sad little imagery of Lenin and Marx, and would’ve maybe brought the Soviet Union to a better life. Otherwise, Russia would still be under an authoritarian famine. Some could say that because of Putin, that still remains, but that’s besides the point. The Soviets weren’t a good nation, and I don’t see the problem with it dissolving.

The thing about TVs exploding wasn’t because of poorly made TVs, it’s because of poorly regulated power lines. At night, because of less electronics drawing power, the power line voltage would increase and overload appliances such as TVs and overheat them or cause them to break entirely. This could at times cause the CRT glass to warp and even explode, or at the least get terrible burn-in.

[@lowstaar]

I heard its mostly becaue the front CRT had some imperfections that caused it to explode, internal stress of the material (glass) basicly

[@AkomishTiddies]

Not very likely, anyone waking up to pee at night would have a surprise firework instead of a toilet light then. The most technical explanation I've heard is vacuum tube electronics being too sensitive to many hours of non-stop operation, not exactly an explosion though, but apparently a real fire hazard and a hassle of getting replacement parts. (Kudos to Soviet stuff being user-serviceable btw) Another possible explanation is that the warning was just a friendly reminder aimed at saving electricity and TV explosions being just a common myth.

@@elpibelol5005 so, after the fall of USSR and other communist countries, sociologists measuring that people in that countries are extremely divided and selfish. Yes, economic collapse and social system bankrupt made it, so today Russia at this point. When I am talking with any person - age no matter - my companion may disagree with our government and complain about corruption, but usually he says: - However, in their place, I would also steal. - It's the common money, dude! - No matter. And nothing else matters, like the song. It's so devastating to hear! Our country has fallen, our principles are sold. Yes, Soviet had problems and even crimes, but the idea, the movement of people - altruism, common interests, citizen brotherhood. USSR gave hope to our people all these decades,the feats that people performed, the selflessness -does capitalism give such a thing? No, its mantra "society is better off when each of its members pursues their own interests". And then these beautiful people fight over toilet paper.
