@@freedomwhenneeded You should have learnt that communist ideology implies internationalism before you started talking nonsense like this. That is, all the people in the world are brothers, but all have an enemy - capitalism, which spills over into imperialism and, in the end, into fascism.
@@IngvirKir ok then why is america not fascist?? Communist nations have way more imperialistic tendencies and fight each other e.g china and the ussr. Fascism as a concept mostly always contains socialism and a country population angry that their country is in a bad state. Its in the USA constitution to fight authotarianism, and yes USA imperialism, its a great thing and I can say it proudly, America has superior values to the world and has made the most advanced richest society in history, capitalism in the UN has provided mass amounts of money to starving people, the only way china got richer is from benefiting from Americas consumerism and opening to capitalism. Although leaders like George w Bush have been reckless America has always being better morally than china and Russia.

We have seen what happens when the west allows Africa to fight their own wars and the lives it cost in the Congo war.
@@freedomwhenneeded Read my comment again. I am talking about ideology. There are racists everywhere, that's a fact. But racism has never been about "something", unlike in the USA, so we have very few racists and they are disliked by society. And the communist ideology promoted peace and brotherhood back in the 20s: search for information about a case where the USSR saved 8 African-Americans from the death penalty. So it is silly to say that it was only because "the enemy of my enemy is my friend".
I love this. At this time drawing an African man in a dignified way was unusual. Strong, of good moral character, and intelligent too. Very good! They humanized they oppressed and dehumanized the oppressor which is good on them!
@Samar3n You need to check your books on that. The soviet regime killed even more people than the Nazis did. They didn't have colonies, because their predecessor (the russian empire) didn't have either, so they exploited their own people. When it comes to Africa, they gave them guns to kill each other and helped tyrants to seize power.

There are many interesting stories between Russians and Africans. For example, one of the most renown Russian generals, Abram Petrovich Gannibal, was an African. Also he is a great granddad of Alexander Pushkin, the greatest Russian poet.
Ivan Abramovich Gannibal ( led a detachment of the Imperial Black Sea Fleet, which besieged and captured the Turkish fortress of Navarin during the Russo-Turkish War (1768-1774), and took part in the founding of the city of Kherson. Gannibal's ultimate military rank was Général en Chef.
@@kevinhughes720 no.... actually his origin isn't clear, since in his biography he doesn't state exactly where he was from, only that his father was a nobility from Logon sity, and because in Africa there are many places called Logon, the discussions of his place of origin were goings between historians in Russia for literal centuries. Nowadays the most correct version is considered to be Principality of Logon in Central Sudan (on the border of modern Cameroon and Chad). And he definitely wasn't white, though his actual appearance is also unclear, since there aren't any lifetime portraits of him. but it is a fact that he was black, many people at the time wrote about it
Despite how memeable this video is, as a black guy i appreciate that the soviets attempted to depict black people with dignity cause we all know how American cartoons depicted black people during these same periods.

Funny how all the European imperialists in this cartoon are represented by native African animals (namely the elephant, rhino, crocodile, hyena, and lion).
Многие пишут в снисходительном ключе о том, что это пропаганда. Но разве транслирование исторических фактов можно считать игрой с человеческим восприятием реальности?

Ссср было важно показать, что европейцы и американцы плохие. Поэтому тут например не показано, что африканцы очень любили нападать друг на друга и брать в рабство. Для них это было нормально, так что они и начали торговать рабами с европейцами. Это не началось с того, что пришли европейцы и начали воровать
I wondered how they could get Winston to allow for the use of their brand in the video, but I just realized that it was a Soviet film so they didn't give a damn about the Western copyright laws lol
The symbolism in this short film is pretty impressive. Each of the animals represent something brought to Africa by Europeans to control the natives. Religion, laws, and police. Only when he allowed the elephant to live in his land did the elephant suddenly invent the concept of property ownership to take away the ownership of the man. Religion is used to justify his suffering and make it seem like a noble thing. The police and laws represented by two of the animals also work together to stop him from forcefully taking what belongs to him like how they told him not to protest against them. Overall good stuff. I enjoyed this short film.
Actually, the whole marxist-economical study is well outlined in this film. It shows how the institutions of the bourgeois state always protect the interests of the bourgeoisie, : exploitation of the workers, of the land, no matter what country. And the end of the movie is when the worker sees his class enemy and overthrows him from the ruling role... The only thing I don't like in this film is that there is only one man, when in fact the exploited people are in the majority and that is their strength, only by realizing the unity of their interests they can take control of life in their own hands.
What a powerful story!Honestly, it brought me to tears. I was emotional while watching it, and this ending brought me sort of happiness and relief. I really love that they oppose a black MAN to ANIMAL-colonisers. That hits hard. And I really love the depiction of African beauty. Love from Russia 💪🏻

Indeed this cartoon was ahead of it's time in the contrast of an accepted agenda of the West regarding Africans. I am from Russia, not a communist, just an ordinary guy who was born after the dissolution of the USSR. But I tell you, there is something magnificent and charming about all those Soviet cartoons.

people saying this is a surprisingly human depiction of Africa for it's time - this was what the soviets did everywhere, it was the founding ideals which the socialists had fostered all the way back in the early 1900's. While the rest of the world wasn't even debating if having black people in zoo's was ok, the soviets pledged their full support to decolonisation and self determination for Africa, Arabia, China, America etc. This is the main principle of socialism, that regardless of background, race, religion or culture everyone is equal.

This cartoon from the 60s is better at not being racist and actually teaching then the entire American school system and health care and just America as a whole
Wow... You can argue all you want that most, if not all of this short was just soviet propaganda. But you gotta admit that the soviets at least draw more realistic and even more respectfull the native black people in this cartoon, than any other american cartoon back then. I'm surprised that the soviets managed to draw black people very well, without exagerating them, in a extremely offensive way. Specially considering that in the USSR was not exactly a country with many black people, like in the US.
How is this Soviet propaganda? It's just for raising awareness on colonialism and their effects on the African countries. In 1963, when most of Africa was still colonized. If the US had made this, I don't think you would have been here saying it is American propaganda. But since the Soviet Union made this, you feel this.
This animation accurately represents the Soviet view on the conditions of black people around the world. There's a lot of what some would call "pure soviet propaganda" (posters, cartoons, books), all regarding the horrible situation of African-Americans in the U.S.A., for example. Look up a quote from Muhammad Ali on his visit to the USSR in 1978, talking about how he felt like a human being in Soviet land, as opposed to the discrimination he went through in the U.S. Anti-imperialism and anti-colonialism, as well as liberation of all enslaved people, is something present not only in Lenin's thought (who founded the Soviet Union), but in Marx and Engels as well. As you precisely pointed out, while the Soviets were making an accurate representation of the black man and supporting the anti-colonial movements (also with armed support) that were happening in many parts of Africa in the year this came out, the imperalists made an effort to ridicularize the African people through exaggerations and racial stereotypes. Even though the U.S. is a nation with a large number of black citizens, there is still heavy racial discrimination.
I once watched a Soviet documentary about indigenous peoples from around the world. What stroke me was how respectful they were compared to modern day documentaries. They didn't show them as uncivilized wild people, neither did they have that snobbish "big brother" tone western documentaries still have. They just showed these people's culture as it was

I see that a group of people in the comments, have this weird instinct to associate the animals within the Soviet Cartoon to represent nations, despite it not being made in the western mass media and therefore not the same concepts. Knowing that depictions of class war and anything related to a workers struggle is never to be rare during It's communist media of the cold war, I think my opinions of what these animals represent are at least not far off from the creator's truth. Rhino: Clergy & western religion Crocodile: Burecrats or Corporations Hyena: Military and any kind of colonial order Lion: either colonial administration or the imperial governments based in Europe Elephant: the usual non-native settler refusing to intigrate
just to be clear, i don't care about the politics, just that i want to understand why things are the way they are. 'A simple stretch of what one wise person once said': "you have to understand people, then everything else will make sence"
Rather, the fact is that many of these images successfully fall on certain countries, so clothes also contribute to this. Hyena is dressed as a French soldier/officer. An elephant is literally a typical American (especially considering the mascot of the Republican Party). The lion is clearly England with its national symbol.
Man, despite that Russia are not the USSR anymore, they should show their old soviet cartoons like this one, to the afroamerican people, to show that not all of their cartoons were just communist propaganda against the US and the capitalism, but showing and reflecting also dark topics like the racism, even back then, when the racism was more "normal" back in the 60's.

I’m definitely a fan of Soviet cartoons, with of course keeping in mind that most of it serves as propaganda. The best way I can see it is that Soviet propaganda gives off a fair degree of accuracy to those in the west because we also know the truth of what happened in places like Africa. American propaganda is often based of lies or revisionist history, Soviet propaganda was more based around telling deep seated truth about the West, while hiding what was happening at home, even from those who could see it with their own eyes.
Dude, propaganda is everywhere. But Soviet propaganda was honest. It called itself by its real name - agitprop - agitation and propaganda- and it emphasized nothing evil.
Although this animation is propaganda, the character design and artistic style of the old Soviet cartoons is to be admired, especially those that are made to show historical moments and fairy tales.
Well, I don't know, you tell me if the exaltation of sub-Saharan Africa by a Soviet Union that highlighted its values as a people with the heroic image of a tribal leader, against the already predictable - and demonized - Western enemies (caricatured by bestial animals) that they had during the Cold War in a period of decolonization and military, economic and ideological support for their new nations, cannot be considered propaganda // (Google Translator).
