Media Dump - Video footage from the USSR (and some photos)


I stumbled across a lot of Soviet documentaries (and some photographs) while sleuthing around to find more photos like these, so I thought I may dump them here in case anyone wanted to see some footage from the USSR. I found nearly all of them on the same Russian message board, and as some posts are older I needed to link directly there since they did not use YouTube (otherwise YouTube links are used). I'm sure some of them have already been seen before but I thought I might dump them here anyway - I should also note that all videos are in Russian.Videos:Here is one about food from 1954Here is one about construction sites from 1954Here is a video about healthcare, from 1973Here is a cartoon about health, from 1966"first to the moon", from 1955Here is a scientific/technological documentary from 1956 called the mystery of substanceHere is some simple street/city videography, from 1975Here is a video from the time, pre-WWII, of the plan to construct the Palace of the SovietsHere is a clip from a more modern movie showing a 3D rendering of what the Palace of the Soviets would have looked like (for reference of the previous video)Here is a 1957 video called Road to the StarsHere is a 1951 video called Universe 151Here is a video about the 1966 Tashkent earthquakeHere are some videos from Stalin's time, in colourSome good ol' tunes, with video footage from International Worker's Day in 1939 also the whole IWD parade in 1976Your brain is on target - 1984 anti-capitalist propHere is a 1976 documentary about NovosobirskOne from the 70s about nuclear powerOne from the 80s about the employees of the State Traffic Inspectorate of MoscowOne from the late 70s about building a section of railroad in the far east"Lunch" from 1972About Yakutia region, from 1948"Former Soviet citizens" from 1986"Moon of the USSR" 1965A well known video of Retrowave with great footage of the PRC in 1950Pictures:A walk to the city of the futureUSSR in photos (same as the original post I linked, I'm pretty sure).Anyway I'll stop there as that should be plenty to digest. These should give a good slice of life for different Soviet eras, I hope. Perhaps if someone were to continue sleuthing on the same message board they could find more. via /r/communism https://ift.tt/3giU4xo
