The Soviet Bloc Unwinds: Crash Course European History #46

Today you'll learn about the labor strikes of Poland, the dissident punks of East Germany, the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the breakup of the Soviet Union, among other things.

Communist Bloc's Collapse: What Happened?
Between the end of World War II and the beginning of the 1980s, the Soviet Union polarized the dispute for world hegemony with the United States.
During this period, the Soviet government guaranteed to provide basic rights to the population (such as access to education and health care), and promoted industrialization and scientific research.
From the 1970s onwards, however, this highly bureaucratized society with a nationalized economy began to show signs of exhaustion.
One of the reasons for this weakening was the bureaucracy's control of the economy, with targets for all productive sectors.
In this way, the Soviet government established what factories should produce and in what quantity, where raw materials should be purchased, what the final price of the products would be, the wages...

Book Review: Communist Bloc Handguns by George Layman
Available from the publisher here: https://gunandswordcollector.com/product/communist-handguns/
Or from Amazon here: https://amzn.to/2Mf2Uxi
There is not really a good reference book available on Communist Bloc pistols - or at least there wasn't until now. George Layman has just released this overview of Cold War handguns from the USSR, Bulgaria, China, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Hungary, North Korea, Poland, Romania, and Yugoslavia. At 157 pages total, however, the level of detail on each individual firearm is necessarily brief. While the work is a pretty nice overview for the idly curious, it does not include much information that isn't pretty easily found online (including a number of misconceptions).
That said, it's not a bad book. The illustration is well done, and it is very ni...

End of Communism: How 1989 Changed Europe
Seventy years ago -- on May 12, 1949 -- the Soviet Union ended its 11-month-long blockade of Berlin. The blockade had begun on June 24, 1948, amid a currency dispute with the Western Allies. Moscow cut off road, rail, and water access to Berlin's Western sector. Food and electricity would soon run out. The solution? The Allies set in motion a massive undertaking that would become known as the Berlin Airlift.

Why didn't Greece become a part of the Eastern Bloc? (Short Animated Documentary)
After World War 2 most countries in East and South Europe were run by Communist governments.

1961 U.S. DEPT. OF DEFENSE COLD WAR DOCUMENTARY " COMMUNIST EUROPE " EASTERN BLOC NATIONS 58014
Communist Europe (AFIF 107) is a 1961 short film from the U.S. Department of Defense that gives viewers a look at the Communist satellite countries of eastern Europe. The film looks at the relationship of Communism with the countries’ cultures, economics, politics, and religious identities. The film opens with footage of a Communist parade: women and men march down a street, tanks roll by the gathered crowds, and jets fly overhead. The film then cuts to an American man, who narrates the film and addresses the audience about the new makeup of Europe following WWII. The film shows footage of the mountainous regions of eastern Europe (01:54), before recapping the recent history of a few of the countries. Nazi troops and tanks invade Czechoslovakia. Nazi planes bomb Poland. Polish leaders appe...

Between the end of World War II and the beginning of the 1980s, the Soviet Union polarized the dispute for world hegemony with the United States.
During this period, the Soviet government guaranteed to provide basic rights to the population (such as access to education and health care), and promoted industrialization and scientific research.
From the 1970s onwards, however, this highly bureaucratized society with a nationalized economy began to show signs of exhaustion.
One of the reasons for this weakening was the bureaucracy's control of the economy, with targets for all productive sectors.
In this way, the Soviet government established what factories should produce and in what quantity, where raw materials should be purchased, what the final price of the products would be, the wages of workers, etc.
As there was no competition, manufacturers were not concerned with improving the quality of goods or offering a wide variety of consumer goods.
Thus, in the 1970s, Soviet industries did not keep up with the technological improvement of developed capitalist countries in areas such as information technology, microelectronics, biotechnology, and telecommunications.
During times of the Cold War, the USSR preferred to allocate more resources to the expansion of the war industry, to face the United States.
All these factors added together to put the Soviet economy on the brink of collapse.
Unable to meet production targets set by the government, the factories had false statistics.
Thus, while official data showed advances in the production of goods, stores and markets were often empty, even without basic products such as wheat flour or soap.
The crisis also affected basic industries, which proved to be outdated and inefficient.
In the countryside, agricultural crops did not guarantee the population's livelihood, which led the government to import food.
In addition, there was widespread corruption in the government and in the Communist Party, the only one authorized to operate.
The huge expenditures to keep troops in
Afghanistan also contributed to the crisis.
The Soviets would see economic, political, and social transformations with the rise of Mikhail Gorbachev to power in 1985.
He proposed a plan known as perestroika (restructuring), with the aim of decentralizing the economy and ensuring the resumption of its growth.
The plan started with the cut of resources destined to the arms industry and with some demilitarization agreements signed with the US government.
It was also decided to withdraw Soviet troops from Afghanistan in early 1989.
Subsidies to companies were cut, and the market began to regulate the price of goods and services.
Multinationals began to settle in the Soviet Union, the stock exchange was reopened and many private stores began to function.
The Soviets came into contact with global consumer market items such as imported clothing and fast-food restaurant chains.
Political opening, on the other hand, took place through a set of measures known as glasnost (transparency): political prisoners were released, censorship was abolished (prohibited works were released) and multipartyism was established.

Book Review: Communist Bloc Handguns by George Layman

Available from the publisher here: https://gunandswordcollector.com/product/communist-handguns/
Or from Amazon here: https://amzn.to/2Mf2Uxi
There is not really a good reference book available on Communist Bloc pistols - or at least there wasn't until now. George Layman has just released this overview of Cold War handguns from the USSR, Bulgaria, China, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Hungary, North Korea, Poland, Romania, and Yugoslavia. At 157 pages total, however, the level of detail on each individual firearm is necessarily brief. While the work is a pretty nice overview for the idly curious, it does not include much information that isn't pretty easily found online (including a number of misconceptions).
That said, it's not a bad book. The illustration is well done, and it is very nice as a single-stop reference on the basic handguns of the period. In particular, I found this to be true for the Tokarev pistols, as they were manufactured by a bunch of different countries with each national variation being a bit different in some way. Layman's book is a nice handy reference for understanding what those differences are. Unfortunately, it doesn't go into much more detail on things like rare variations, production totals, or any details about development of the various pistols. There are many personal anecdotes about the author's experiences with various examples of the guns over the course of a long military career, but unfortunately little formal research.
At a cover price of $39.95 I think the book is priced a bit high for its contents, but for folks specifically interested in the Cold War period there are not many other books available to choose from.

Seventy years ago -- on May 12, 1949 -- the Soviet Union ended its 11-month-long blockade of Berlin. The blockade had begun on June 24, 1948, amid a currency dispute with the Western Allies. Moscow cut off road, rail, and water access to Berlin's Western sector. Food and electricity would soon run out. The solution? The Allies set in motion a massive undertaking that would become known as the Berlin Airlift.

Communist Europe (AFIF 107) is a 1961 short film from the U.S. Department of Defense that gives viewers a look at the Communist satellite countries of eastern Europe. The film looks at the relationship of Communism with the countries’ cultures, economics, politics, and religious identities. The film opens with footage of a Communist parade: women and men march down a street, tanks roll by the gathered crowds, and jets fly overhead. The film then cuts to an American man, who narrates the film and addresses the audience about the new makeup of Europe following WWII. The film shows footage of the mountainous regions of eastern Europe (01:54), before recapping the recent history of a few of the countries. Nazi troops and tanks invade Czechoslovakia. Nazi planes bomb Poland. Polish leaders appear to meet with Soviet officials (02:43). There is a Soviet military parade (03:13). Yugoslavia President Josip Tito speaks at a meeting (likely with members of his cabinet). Men in Yugoslavia build either a train bridge or a dyke (04:14). The film shows people of eastern Europe (04:35) playing music, dancing, harvesting produce, making crafts, and participating in Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic church services. Footage shows several of the region’s persecuted religious figures (05:35), including Cardinal Joseph Mindszenty of Hungary, Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski of Poland, and Archbishop Aloysius Stepinac of Yugoslavia. The film then cuts to scenes of the region’s agriculture (collectivized farming): people harvest grains, heard cattle, and pick grapes. This is followed by footage of eastern Europe’s heavy industries (07:58): steel production, oil refineries, and glass production. Communist students learn inside a classroom (09:10). At a large stadium, men practice gymnastics (09:24). The film then shows Communist military parades, followed by footage of street warfare from uprisings against Communist rule in East Germany and Hungary (10:55). Men burn communist books in a city street. People gather around either a memorial or burial place of people killed—presumably in the uprisings. The film then shows viewers the city streets and buildings of Yugoslavia (12:00). Viewers are then taken to Poland (12:23): Polish President August Zaleski addresses a large crowd outside; someone speaks at a session of what appears to be Poland’s lower house, the Sejm. Yugoslavia’s Tito addresses a body of people—possibly Parliament (13:25). Hungary’s Ambassador to the United Nations speaks at a U.N. meeting (14:41). The film shows the Polish Navy (15:45)—ships at sea and sailors standing at attention on the deck of a ship. Yugoslavia receives economic aid from the U.S. (17:04). The film concludes with footage of streets in Yugoslavia, and people farming and harvesting in rural areas of the region.

Yugoslavia’s Tito addresses a body of people—possibly Parliament (13:25). Hungary’s Ambassador to the United Nations speaks at a U.N. meeting (14:41). The film shows the Polish Navy (15:45)—ships at sea and sailors standing at attention on the deck of a ship. Yugoslavia receives economic aid from the U.S. (17:04). The film concludes with footage of streets in Yugoslavia, and people farming and harvesting in rural areas of the region.
