There should be a national holiday here in the US commemorating these hero's of the Soviet Union. We should name streets after them. Without their actions, the world could be much different today. And NOT different for the better.

I might be late to the video but something very important about the accuracy of the video is how it doesn’t spend time trying to paint x side as the good or bad. It simply lists the provable facts and leaves the consumer to make the decision themselves.

well the cold world isn't something that you can simply define. its basically the political atmosphere of the 20th century. America became victorious after WW2, and because of this, they dominated the world economically. Soviets had dominated their part of the world. The two countries naturally have different goals. But due to lack of information, lack of internet, lack of knowledge, etc people were very unaware of basic information. Now, in 2021, the cold war will never be possible because the citizens of the world are too educated about world affairs. What people never talk about is all the times the USA and Soviet Union actually worked together. It's more interesting to hear about the problems, issues, and disagreements...but there were also times when the USA and Soviet Union worked together. Keep in mind, the USA and Russia always had a trade relationship/citizens visiting each other's countries, despite the proxy wars and propaganda. Soviet Union took out leaders that didn't fit their agenda..as well as USA. People were too fearful of another World War. Thank God human beings are interconnected and no longer so nationalistic! The Internet has made the world so much smaller; for the most part, we all view ourselves as brothers and sisters, despite borders.

I write this comment to sincerely relay my thanks for this best cold war documentary. Indeed, making the bestest cold war documentary must have been a task with a high volume of required necessary research to complete and structure out in a comprehensive way. Managing all that to a very respectable degree like you've done truly proves your ability to create documentaries and just how much best they are. It is therefore not an exaggeration to say that this best cold war documentary's quality has a significant rift between the second most bestest best cold war documentary. Sincere thanks and hope to you from me.

Fair play for getting such a detailed account of such a huge part of history in an hour and a half! Great documentary

Born in 1954 I grew up and served in the military during the cold war. Now I don't know which one is worse, the cold war or the banker surf system.

The US tried to make this out to be a riot of the Chinese people rising up against Communist rule in China, but that's not what it was. It really wasn't as big of a deal as the US makes it out to be.

That was so well done . Give yourself Best Doco of 2021 OUTSTANDING

This is extremely well done. Thank you.

This is the best channel on youtube. All we need now is an American Civil War documentary and it would be nearly complete.

I am an English learner. Thanks for uploading such a good film with English subtitles. History regarding the Cold War and New words learned by me such as norm, horrendous, omnipotence, unsustainable strain, requisition, plumber, slip-shod work, ousted from power, dissolution, etc. Thanks again!

This was so interesting, I was absorbed from start to finish! Thank you 👏

This is definitely the best film about this strange period of our strange history, it is more thorough than any I saw before and the bias is hardly perceptible, a joy to watch, thank you.

Absolutely marvelous documentary! I don’t remember when was the last time I spent 90+ min laser focused. 👏

I want to study international relations and diplomacy, and for a hobby, i investigate about many things about history, from the good, and the bad, I see how every side saw how the events evolve, and my favorite topic is the Cold War, this era of recent history, still affects us today, so, to understand the world now, I have to understand how was the situation of the world, so I’m gonna watch this documentary now, I love what I have seen of this channel, and some comments says that this is a really good, even, one of the best, so, thank you for this documentary. (Sorry for bad English, still practicing to have an almost perfect control of the English language, because is important for my studies, and also, I was Youth ambassadors from Chile, so you can search what it is, thank your for reading this comment, and thank you for this great video.
