надо бы твою сеструху Москва, 1958 год. В столичном общежитии живут три 20-летние подруги, приехавшие из провинции. Их судьбы складываются именно так, как предполагает характер каждой из девушек. Целеустремлённая и сдержанная Катерина, не добрав баллов при поступлении в институт, работает штамповщицей, а позже - слесарем-наладчиком на машиностроительном заводе. Стеснительная и простая Антонина трудится маляром на стройке и замуж выходит за москвича-рабочего. Самоуверенной и весёлой Людмиле Москва представляется лотереей, в которой она должна выиграть своё особенное счастье. Она работает на хлебозаводе, но мечтает выйти замуж за статусного москвича - артиста, управленца, спортсмена, учёного. Она знакомится с Сергеем Гуриным - восходящей хоккейной звездой. Катерина, которая пошла на поводу у Людмилы и вместе с ней выдала себя за профессорскую дочь, горько расплачивается за свою авантюру. Она полюбила красавца-телеоператора Рудольфа, забеременела от него, а он, узнав, где она на самом деле работает и что она обманула его, бросает её. Прошло 20 лет. Антонина по-прежнему работает маляром на стройке, любит мужа и любима им, у них растут три сына. Людмила выдаёт заказы в химчистке. Она развелась с Сергеем, который, не выдержав бремени славы и внимания окружающих, предлагавших выпить, забросил хоккей и превратился в алкоголика. Катерина в одиночку вырастила дочь Александру, окончила институт и стала директором крупного предприятия, депутатом Моссовета. Её профессиональная карьера в полном порядке, однако личная жизнь так и не сложилась. Она до сих пор не замужем, а отношения с женатым любовником только умножают тоску по полноценной семье. Однажды, побывав на даче в гостях у Антонины и возвращаясь домой на электричке, Катерина знакомится со слесарем Гошей, который совсем не похож на простого человека рабочей специальности: он интеллигентен, обаятелен, отличается широтой и оригинальностью жизненных взглядов. Катерина быстро влюбляется в него. Однако возлюбленный, несмотря на невысокий социальный статус, - сильная личность и привык быть лидером, поэтому у героини возникает острая проблема: как он будет к ней относиться, если узнает о её высокой должности? К тому же на жизненном горизонте неожиданно для Катерины вновь появляется Рудольф (ныне предпочитающий называться Родионом), отец уже взрослой дочери Александры, который умудряется одной случайно брошенной фразой поссорить влюблённых, рассказав Гоше о высоком социальном статусе Катерины. Гоша уходит, даже не закончив ужина, и исчезает. Не зная фамилии, адреса и места работы, найти человека в Москве практически нереально. Но Николай, муж Антонины, разыскивает Гошу, который, переживая случившееся, всю неделю пьянствовал в одиночестве. Николай объясняет ему причины поведения Катерины и уговаривает вернуться к ней. Георгий возвращается, с Николаем они договариваются «дружить семьями», после чего Людмила, Антонина и Николай быстро ретируются из квартиры. Усевшись ужинать, Катерина говорит Гоше: «Как долго я тебя искала…», на что Гоша обыденно отвечает: «Восемь дней», но Катерина со слезами на глазах повторяет: «Как долго я тебя искала…».попустить ночью епти

"The Emperor's New Clothes" is not a parable. It is a famous fairy tale written by Hans Christian Andersen. Apart from that factoid, this is an excellent interview.

Being a fairy tale doesn't mean it isn't a parable. A parable is specifically a story that teaches a valuable moral lesson, often told in a religious or philosophical/educational context. A fairy tale (at least the definition in English) refers to folk stories, particularly of European origin, typically of a short length (which the Emperor's New Clothes certainly is) of a fantasy nature, often featuring magic, fanciful beings, or supernatural elements, and often having elements of mixed mythological and folkloric origin within them. Many European fairy tales do have one or more moral lessons or principles tied to them, which means they have a parable function to them too. Ironically, the Emperor's New Clothes is more a parable than a fairy tale because it lacks supernatural/fantasy elements to it. In the end, the two are not mutually exclusive to each other.

Bill Whittle is the man!

Wonderful series. Should be mandatory viewing for U.S. high school students. Many lessons for today.

Tony's expression at 3:30 mark in hearing the connection between Vladimir Putin and Lenin and Stalin is absolutely priceless.

Fantastic program. Thank you Bill a very good lesson.

He is sooo right to the detail! I grew up in Czechoslovakia during communism and it was the same thing! If a neighbor wanted your apartment, it was enough for them to tell the authorities that they've heard you through the walls listening to Radio Free Europe, and you'd be gone and they'd get your apartment as a reward for their patriotic deed! You never knew who the snitches were, they were in every building, every office, company, factory, school, etc... it could have been the cleaning lady or it could have been the principal. We were always told by my parents to never say anything at school what was talked about at home! My grandmother got in trouble and was interrogated because her older sister moved from Slovakia to Vienna, Austria, back when it was all part of one large Austro-Hungarian empire, before 1918. She simply went from a rural countryside to a big city, as a young girl, to work as a maid, to a rich family. And stayed there, got married, etc... after the WW2 ended in 1945, and the communist coup in 1948, the new communist government accused my grandmother of being related to a defector, a traitor, who emigrated from our wonderful socialist utopia. It didn't matter how many times she tried to explain that her sister was not an emigrant to the West, she simply moved to another city back when it was the same country... in addition to being incredibly evil, they were also very stupid and uneducated. At least the many enforcers, who were in the various positions of power over terrified population.

Exceptional! And as an ex citizen of a communist state I testify to the truth and surgical analysis of the techniques employed by any oppressive system

Very informative and excellent delivery. Thank you..

Great video! I could listen to Bill Whittle all day

Season 3 is only 4 episodes in and it is already the best of tge 3 seasons! I just have one question, what is the intro song for season 3???

They don't have a monopoly on guns (like Western Europe) but they do have growing monopolies on data, money and food.

Both Russia and China have protective measures in place regarding the legacies of Lenin and Mao Zedong, respectively. These leaders are still revered in certain circles, and their legacies are carefully managed by the respective governments. However, Stalin is often subjected to heightened scrutiny and criticism because he is Georgian, not Russian. Trotsky, known for his brutality, was more ruthless than Lenin and Stalin combined. If Stalin hadn't eliminated Trotsky, the likelihood is that Trotsky would have eventually turned on Stalin and instead of Trotskyist gatherings in Berkeley, there might have been Stalinist ones, showcasing Stalin's shrewd political maneuvering.

Amazing video. Thanks.

As Molotov once said: "Compared to Lenin, Stalin is a lamb."

In the story of the Emperor's New Clothes I grew up with The Emperor gets pissed and has the tailors executed.

Response to 19:00 on Having seen what homeowner associations can do when "Drunk on so little power", I can imagine too easily what that type could do if handed real power.

I never understood how bad communism was until I lived in Ukraine and my Russian and Ukrainian colleagues told me how life really was. Bulgakov’s The Master and Margarita is a masterpiece that also illustrates the horrors of communism.

The emperor's new clothes story and the accompanying conversation afterward reminds me of Ayn Rand's "The Fountainhead" and the character of Ellsworth Toohey. If I recall correctly, he put together a group of "artists", none of them good artists, but Toohey claims their art is amazing in his newspaper articles. These "artists" have become loyal to Toohey because he presents them to the world as geniuses, and members of the public who want to be known as highly-cultured and paragons of good taste go along with Toohey's proclamations.

I got to know a woman while she was associated with our family who lived through the Holomor in Ukraine well before she passsed away young because of chronic lung problem she acquired as result of starvation while growing up. She knew all to well what Stalin was reallly like. While she was able to see through some things better than others with that life experience and so she was encouraging me unlike how some people were behaving negative towards me at the time as if she was a mother to me too. After the fall of the U.S.S.R. I thought that was the end of Stalinist way of doing things in Russia. Boy was I wrong.

I forgot the source (I think it was HistoryBuffs (channel)) but Stalin called Beria his Himmler. I forgot what other channel I watched recently that quoted Molotov. Molotov knew both Stalin and Lenin. Molotov said something like 'Compared to Lenin, Stalin was a lamb.' I think one of the best sources on the USSR (quickest & most informative) is the Soviet Story DVD. And, you have to watch "The Death of Stalin": it's a British comedy and highly historically accurate.

Hi Bill Hi Tony

100:00 comment checking Comments are often censored, unless you look at the comments to comments. I've noticed others must be noticing that censorship since on some sites conservative comments on comments disproportionally larger numbers (and more thoughtful, less 'knee jerk') compared to 1st responses.

Newcomers, like this one, would appreciate back info/chron-order links about the series and which episode is what. Context; we might need it for next Congressional committee hearing.

The terror, mass murders, starvation, cannibalism, tortures and horrors of the USSR under Lenin and Stalin would have seemed like paradise to the victims of the Cambodian communists. The Khmer Rouge actually murdered between a third and a quarter of the entire country in less than three years.

Anyone who talks about 'Russian expansionism' needs to look at some maps starting with, oh, 1880 or so.

Contrary to what you say, the American Revolution did result into a like climate of terror, though not at the exact dates of the official revolutionary events (nor in USSR by the way : the October Revolution was strangely quiet and it took a few years to realize that the regime was murderous by design rather than by some enemy's fault ; the French Revolution remained rather festive until the King was killed) : the real American revolution rather happened around 1780-90 and it entailed a social state we now rather associate with Far West : those who had both the guns and the money enjoyed the right of life and death over ordinary peasants, any bandit who knew the rules of the real game could declare himself to be a militia man. Many loyalists took refuge in Canada and that was mostly for security reasons.

Benjamin Franklin nearly killed his son William for being Loyalist. We can only imagine what would've happened if counter-revolutionaries had the US surrounded the way they had France surrounded. And I think what you mean to say is that the French Revolution was moderate until the King and Queen started plotting with foreigners against the people.

Fascism, socialism/communism have one thing in common. Moreover, the National Socialists were not fascists and didn't claim to be. They were socialists and their policy was socialist. The fascists came from Italy was propagated by Mussolini and originated by Gentile. And, the USSR stood for the Union of the Soviet Socialist Republic and their constitution was socialist.

If in a small town or rural area, price is set by the 1 or 2 people able to do the specialized work. In larger areas, undercutting leading to workers losing money often motivates guilds that serve a dual purpose of controlling competition and preventing going bankrupt. These guilds often "encourage" governments to pass "standards" that result in the government reducing competition in the name of public safety. What ever the service is, if it becomes too expensive Adams believed a free people would find a work around, either from invention or other means. Guilds also developed into training schools. Good guilds still thrive to this day giving us certified electricians, p[lumbers and other tradesmen.
