44:54-45:18, 49:31 these maps indicate that Mongolia was province of the Soviet Union when it wasn't. It was a Soviet satellite like the countries of Eastern Europe. But it was still an independent country. Mongolia was the first country to be communized by the Soviet Union in 1921.
batrachious i have the entire 4 part series on VHS. Bought it years ago from eBay for a pittance. Also have the entire 4 part series called "Kolyma" on VHS. A 54 minutes condensed version is uploaded here on RU-vid and has been for years.

Khrushchev was in charge of Soviet controlled Eastern Poland which was partitioned between Germany and Russia in September 39. Khrushchev had many Poles deported to Siberia and sent to the gulags where they would be worked to death. Khrushchev was one bad dude.
@@PNETriffid 50:03-50:16 in the American version of this documentary narrated Marshall, he said that Soviet internationalism had given way to mere nationalism; Soviet territory was being fought over, Soviet blood shed or words to that effect. It seemed that the Soviets and Chinese cared more about their territory being invaded than they did international communism and the little Soviet-Chinese border skirmish of 1969 proved it. Nevertheless, they hadn't given up about spreading communism around the world; neither did the Cubans sometimes without help from the Soviets.

brian sedlock this is a good series, isn't it? You seem to be very keen on Soviet history; have you any rare footage in your inventory? Reason i ask is that it's rare to find anyone displaying an interest in the USSR's history, outside of revisionists and Soviet romanticists. I've collected, high and low, for 10 years, pretty hard to find documentaries on communism in every nation its been tried. I still run across nuggets from RU-vid now and then. But with RU-vid's algorithms biased in favor of Left viewpoints it's become nearly impossible to find anything new, and in spoken or subtitled English. I have this entire series on VHS, and many, many other rarities. I've uploaded a few videos here on RU-vid in my chickenwretch channel. Check it out I think you'll like some of them...take care.
@@pdd60absorbed12 I know a little bit about Soviet history, but I like German history much more. I do have the CNN doc. series COLD WAR from late 1990's, put together by Ted Turner and created by Jeremy Isaacs, who brought us the British doc.series the WORLD AT WAR in the 1970's. I also have INSIDE THE COLD WAR with Sir. David Frost. Have you ever heard of those documentaries?
@@67nairb Certains phrases or words RU-vid finds undesirable (non PC) are buried in feeds and recommended viewing. Typically, conservative vs liberal stuff with liberal material getting pushed and conservative material buried and harder to access. All the rage on social media as we speak.
Hi Brian. Yes I too have the Cold War series and love it. Before CNN went off the deep end. Wasn't aware of the David Frost mentioned, is it uploaded here? I've got a lot of movies and docs collected over the last dozen years. Anything remotely connected to communism. Shining Path, Tamil Tigers, Euro-communism, Afro-communism, Cuba, Cultural Revolution (aspects of which we now see in America), Finland's commie revolts....lots of eyewitness accounts of Rightists gulags off to Gobi wastelands, on and on. That remains my singular mania; to archive video accounts of commie injury in every part of the world. Ill6 look for Frost's work, that's new to me. Thanks Brian. Contact me for further discourse. Hard to find anyone on the same page over this topic.
@@pdd60absorbed12 Frost's documentary is available on You Tube. but many parts are cut out for some reason. The Vietnam War has been been completely cut out for example. Have you ever heard of another TV special called 45/85: AMERICA AND THE WORLD SINCE WORLD WAR II and the documentary series on A&E or Arts and Entertainment the EAGLE AND THE BEAR: DISPATCHES FROM THE COLD WAR? The former was an ABC NEWS TV special hosted hosted by Ted Koppel and Peter Jennings beginning with the 40th Anniversary of American victory in World War II in 1945 and the 40 year history of the Cold War between us and the Soviet Union (this was four to six years before the Iron Curtain crumbled and the USSR ceased to exist); the latter dealt with the Cold War being fought in other countries. Both are very good.
The Sino-Soviet border skirmish in 1969 showed that internationalism had given way to nationalism. Soviet and Chinese troops were fighting for control of a tiny island in the Ussuri River. What country did it belong to? China or the the Soviet Union? World communism didn't work. Khrushchev, Brezhnev and other Soviet leaders saw themselves as Russians first and communists second; Mao Tse-tung and Chou en-lei saw themselves as Chinese first and communists second; Ho Chi Minh considered himself a Vietnamese first ad a communist second; and Castro thought of himself as a Cuban first and a communist second.
@Ire4 The Ukraine was a Soviet province before it became an independent nation when the Soviet Union collaspsed. Come to think the Ukraine was annexed by Czarist Russia in the late 18th or early 19th centuries. It was under Russian rule for about 200 years old with a brief period of independence and then Nazi rule.
While it's true that Joseph Stalin's legacy was a little more popular during the Brezhnev years, the leadership in that country had no wish to return to the days of Stalin; the gulags, the mass killings of political opponents, the murders were over. Brezhnev and his second in command Alexei Kosygin had no wish to return to Stalinism as the Chinese under Mao Tse-tung wanted them to. Brezhnev and Kosygin were definitely more conservative in their views of communism than Khrushchev was. But they were not Stalinists.
This documentary failed to mention how the Sino-Soviet split of the late 1950's affected the tiny Balkan country of Albania, a truly Stalinist state with no freedom whatsoever. Albania's dictator Enver Hoxha was not happy with Khrushchev's de-Stalinization policy and peaceful coexistence with the West just as Mao wasn't. Hoxha called Krhushchev a revisionist, a betrayer of Communism as Mao's China did. This caused Enver Hoxha to fall into the laps of Mao Tse-tung. Thus Albania and China drew closer together. Albania was the only communist country in Eastern Europe that worshiped Joseph Stalin into the 1980's and had statues made of him. China remained Albania closest friend and ally and biggest trading partner from the early 1960's to the late 1970's and had virtually no other foreign contacts. Albania broke off diplomatic relations with China in 1978 after it's leader Deng Xiao Peng began to liberalize the Chinese economy against the policies of Mao Tse-tung and establish diplomatic relations with United States.
@brian sedlock - Personally, I NEVER liked Deng Xiaoping because he was NO BETTER than Mao Tse-tung in terms of supposed socialist outlook. Furthermore, he was only popular with the West for his so-called "economic reforms" in China during his rule!
@@67nairb I think that what happened with the 1989 incident in Tiananmen Square should be really considered a tragic mistake for a country like China that is definitely Communist-in-name-only anyway. As for the belief that China in being "one of the richest nations in the world," it is a rather unfortunate example of not making a supposed socialist society in the right direction and that country and its government had completely deviated from the principles of Marxism-Leninism.
@@robertpolanco1973 Actually, I'd like to take that back. China is not the one of the richest countries in the world. Though it is very prosperous. Saudi Arabia, the other Gulf states, Japan, South Korea and of course the United States are much richer than China. (Kuwait is the richest country in the world.) Politically, China is still communist with it's one party system of government, their suppression of peoples' and it's human rights abuses. I don't remember commenting on China being one of the richest countries in the world. But it's people aren't exactly starving thanks to the policies of Deng Xiaoping, he deserves a lot of the credit.
@@67nairb - Well, brian, why not? I have read and seen in documentaries about U.S. foreign policy that was responsible for the misdeeds and crimes that the U.S. had committed for decades! Like the CIA in its attempts to overthrow governments that it did not like, along with torture, assassinations, election rigging, and so on. Those I believe were an embarrassment to this country and the world.
@@robertpolanco1973 that seemed neccessary to halt the spread of communism. We won the Cold War in proxy wars like Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan and Central America and it worked.
@@67nairb - Look, brian, the Cold War was a fucking joke and I certainly DO NOT accept what people like you had explained about it! The U.S. was responsible for such misdeeds and crimes in the name of "fighting Communism" as a national security excuse! Furthermore, the U.S. had absolutely NO RIGHT to have been in the places that you mentioned because of such excuses! No wonder I DO NOT trust the reactionary U.S. foreign policy in the Cold War and beyond!
Personally, I find it very saddening that documentaries like this would only serve a very negative portrait of the Soviet Union and the socialist world. No wonder the Cold War was a pathetic JOKE!
@@67nairb - Oh, please! Like GO SCREW YOURSELF for being a typical right-wing fool! After all, the system of capitalism has NOT ALWAYS been the best system, and in other words, it has NOT completely eliminated poverty in the world as what people know about it!
