Kingdom of Bhutan: The Land of Hidden Treasures (1998)
This reminds me of being a kid, and mum taking me into the city. I miss how the city use to be.
My stepfather made this trip in 1989 only a couple of months before the wall fell. An East German had just been shot trying to escape. If only he knew that the wall would fall a couple of months later. Not sure if he had to follow these rules though as a Swedish civilian citizen or if relations with DDR was different. He mentioned they searched under the car with mirrors.
Benny Hill humor at the end.
A perfect example of why a non native should never be used to provide commentary on a place they are unfamiliar with. Clearly demonstrated by his mispronunciation of many of the local words and names.
The United states has accepted millions of immigrants front he former eastern/soviet black who were granted permanent residency by lying to the immigration authorities that life in the soviet union had been difficult and they had not been allowed to practice their BS weirdo religions when in fact they had had a happy and good life and nobody had stopped them from practicing any form of religion. These scumbags were admitted here through lies and deception and are now US citizens. Sold themselves as victims of a harsh soviet regime but had in fact had normal lives before and had been educated and fed by the soviet government and protected, mind you.
The communism may be thought by the Western world to be unpractical and possibly even damaging but Soviet Union was living proof that it actually worked if correctly managed. I can’t say the same about N Korea or China and N Vietnam or the rest of the Eastearn block outside the USSR. But in modern day Russia there are still millions of people who grew up during the Soviet era and 99.98% of these witnesses will tell you that life back then was different. Stress-free and happy. Kids were happy. With free education, free healthcare job opportunities and generous pension plans you only wish youd go back in time to re-live it again. The Americans can badmouth the socialist regime all they want but the fact is socialism worked and was effective. I can’t imagine what a disgrace the SU would’ve been if it actually adopted the capitalism. It’s a good thing the soviet leaders didn’t allow that to happen.
The narrator is unmistakably Peter Thomas. He sounds the same as in his Forensic Files but younger
I am a good guy and peaceful and good worker. ❤❤❤❤
The fact that rent was between 40 and 140 dollars a month in most cases baffles me. Like here we are in a "better, and improved future" paying between 570 and 950 dollars month for smaller, shittier apartments which private companies own. So a man makes HUGE personal profit from my human right to have a roof over my head
Pena que é em inglês
If you have guts also post on goa inquisition
I feel sorry for them really as then they got a drunk like Yelzin and then a mad man Putin.
How's it going 😢
Reagan sanctions costed Poland at least 60 billion $. That's the outcome.
Sounds so much better than what we have now
Do you understand the meaning of bread? And you understand those people where dragged to miserable conditions so that they could "have a show"? The black ones symbolize the ones with "demons" that "rule" the planet.

Propaganda communist video or what
Born at Canossa Hospital 1975.
AMAZING video
It is amazing the lies that pass for a "documentary." Did the Mongolian people have thousands of years of history. The Mongolians did not exist on the steppes of Mongolia until the 13th century AD. There had always been nomadic people living on the steppes of Mongolia, but the nomadic people living on the steppes were culturally different. During the Han Dynasty, the Chinese people had a written language and documented the people of the Mongolian steppes as Xiong-Nu at about 200 BC. Like all nomadic people they did not have a written language. The Mongols adopted Buddhism and modified Sanskrit as their written language. It is also well documented by the Chinese that several independent Mongol tribes were united by Chinggis Khan into one Mongolian people. After their unification the Mongol horsemen went on a rampage, conquering most of East Asia, Middle East, and Eastern Europe (feudal Russia). The Mongols were known for their brutality and they were able to conquer the largest land empire in history. Because of succession and inheritance the Mongol Empire was never unified as the conquered regions were inherited and controlled by the sons of the Mongol Khans. It is amazing the distortions or lies presented by the Indian narrator. If anything it is the Mongols who dominated other people through conquest and demand for tribute. In fact the Russians bitterly recall the Mongol domination as "wearing the Tartar yoke." But the Russian Imperial Army of the Romanovs would eventually conquer Mongolia, and make the Mongolians "wear the Russian yoke." It is obvious that the Soviet Bolsheviks have effectively dominated and brainwashed the Mongol people into submission. Mongolia is a Bolshevik satellite state. The Russian language are on signs everywhere. Soviet buses are used for public transportation. The passenger cars on the roads are Russian. The Mongolian Army wear Red Army uniforms and march like Bolshevik Soldiers. The modern, industrialized weapons are clearly Soviet Red Army equipment. This so called documentary was filmed in 1986. Beginning in the late 1950s Poland, Czechoslovakia, and Hungary tried to gain independence from their Soviet overlord. Yet it seems that most Mongolians were content with Bolshevik mind control. Are the Mongolian people that easy to brainwash? We see many modern conveniences at Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia. We see Mongolian students studying science, doing research, and operating industrial factories. We also see Mongolians living their traditional life herding animals, riding Bactrian Camels, and riding Mongolian Ponies. It seems all the science and modern conveniences are brought into Mongolia from Soviet Russia. The challenge for the Mongolians are the same for the people of the Indian Subcontinent and Mainland China. The advances created by the modern world are not just mental exercises to be practiced and graded in school. You have to truly change your society or you will remain poor and backwards. I am amazed by some of the comments. Are people really that misinformed. It seems a lot people have lost the ability to think for themselves.
i spent a lot of time at sporting cards enterprises on murray st. jason you still alive?
OJ Simpson was unheard of in Russia
Like people say, this is the mid 1990s NOT anything to do with the 1980s sadly :( The endeavour replica was launched 1993-1994 so that dates things well. The film maker obviously wasn't from Perth since he mispronounces names and describes the entertainment centre as "new" when by that time it was very old and tired.
1990's for sure.
I dont think those trains were around in the 80's, 90's maybe?
pretty sure the endeavour was 93
What is the name of the instrumental as they are flying over Florence and Tuscany. I want to know the composer and song. Love it
So Dystopian and eerie. insane.
90年代が一番良いよたぶん。
Love this ❤
Одни евреи...
12:55 looks like boycie in the tan coat
I don't remember exactly, but I'm fairly certain Forrest Chase and the modern Myer complex wasn't built until the 1990s. In any case, the narrator mispronouncing all the place names mentioned the West Coast Eagles premiership; the Eagles first of those wasn't until 1992, and they did it again in 1994. We beat Geelong both times to take it, so it's not clear which year he's referencing. However I remember both the elderly gentleman with the puppets, and the clown on stilts as a young adult, at a time when I was already driving myself to the city. That was late 1994. But that's a guess at best, it was a long time ago. 1992 certainly the earliest...
Looks like a different world back then, for better or worse.
Very good documentary ! 5 stars. Although makes me wonder what in the world made them dissolve the union? To buy jeans and shiny toys from west? Abandon free housing, free medical, dirt cheap transport, rent, food, but hey, I now got Levis ! I think the people voted overwhelmingly to be in the union (I read around 80% from all republics except the baltics). So it was just some corrupt politicians like yeltsin and his ukrainian counterpart at the time who wanted to loot their republics by dissolving the union.
Thank you for this nostalgia trip,,,I’m the singer at the 4 minute mark.
Great voice mate!
I love USSR
March 9, 1983 Reagan called Moscow an evil empire!
Trains were electrified in the 1990s.
Nice to see a documentary on YT that isn't just anti-communist propaganda from start to finish.
I never trust any Aussie doin a take on Russian society
Why does finland look like butt cheeks at 1:32
I was in kindergarten in 1989. We were told Japan was 10 years in the future. I realized in 2018 that people had at least one picture of Shibuya Crossing when they said it. Now I wonder if that is as honest as selling travel to the USA by showing the Las Vegas strip and Times Square. I got interested in seeing Japan back then. My mom had a 1985 Nissan Maxima and I loved it. A combination of Knight Rider, Tron, and giant mecha is how it was made. It made me want the Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo (Z32 Fairlady TT) when it went on sale. To 1980s kids, turbo power sounded like magic. Twin turbo sounded like even more magic to me.
Beautiful nation ever existed!!!! ❤❤❤
At 13:07 it is the women's role to shop cook take care of the house, and of course be a good mother >>>> in 1978 according to US agenda that's is a bad thing women oppressed....2024 US RedPill men bit****g crying women role should be cook take care of the house, and of course be a good mother 🤣
Nowadays, 2024, Kentaro must be in your 44-47 years old (my age right now).
Things were changing pretty fast back then. To think how much has changed between 1990 and 2005, and compare it with the 2008 we are still pretty much stuck in...
1982...a magical year. So many good things not only in Japan...Akira's Katsuhiro Otomo, good music, films....wow 😊.
Now European continent is invaded by Barbarians.
