- The Seventh Doctor (Sylvester McCoy) and Ace (Sophie Aldred) encounter the vampire-like Haemavores. These vampires are repelled by crucufixes because of the wielder's faith in it. A Russian soldier uses this principle to his advantage.
Video footage is from BBC's Doctor Who Season 26 The Curse of Fenric Part Three (1989)
Music is the National Anthem of USSR, performed by the Alexdrov Red Army Chorus - Zábava
Virgin Capitalist vampire vs Chad Communist soldier
Aristocrat works as well as capitalist, tbf
He is captain actually
That man, he fights for the motherland.

Based.
This would have been a lot funnier if you'd not included the Doctor's explanation at the beginning and just showed it completely out of context.

How about this lol
kulak vampires owned by the glorious dictatorship of the proletariat.
kinda make sense, because draculas are usually depicted as aristocrats, make sense they would be afraid to the power of the people.
question though: why there's a Soviet soldier in the first place?
Curse of Fenric is set during WW2, and one of the characters is a fictional version of Alan Turing - the creator of the "Enigma Machine", which was used to crack coded German radio messages. In this story, the Russians are attempting to steal that machine. However, the allied forces are expecting this turn of events, and they fear that the Russians will no longer be 'allies' once the Germans are defeated, so they packed the machine with chemical weapons and are waiting for it to be stolen.
Once WW2 is over and the time is right, they will send a specific word in a cypher, and once that word is decoded by the machine, it will unleash chemical hell in Russia.
While waiting for the Russians to arrive, the camp has been using the machine to decrypt Viking symbols beneath a local crypt. These symbols have been left behind by descendants of vikings who carried a 'treasure' from the East -- a flask, which the Doctor used to contain "Fenric" many centuries ago. Fenric is an old god -- the definition of evil -- and it is manipulating events behind the scenes to unleash itself.
According to the Doctor, the "vampires" (haemovores) are what mankind will turn into after centuries of industrial progress, causing the earth to be covered in chemical slime, and forcing them to live underwater. Unknown to everyone BUT the Doctor, if the machine explodes or the haemovores unleash the chemicals stored in the underground bunker, they will create their own future -- because the substances will infect the world and cause mankind to live underwater in this timeline.
Despite being a very "English" show, and despite the Russians trying to steal from their allies, it is the naval Commander who is represented as the antagonist for wanting to unleash chemical weapons. The Russians (eventually) work with the Doctor, and even join forces with the naval deserters (once people realize what the Commander was up to and/or the real threat of vampiric monsters). As a result, the Russians are shown in a much more positive light compared to the Brits, which is quite refreshing.
@@RopeDrink Wasn't it implied that Judson and Millington had more than just a friendship at school?
@@icemachine79 Yes, they were hinted as being a couple - and that Millington accidentally crippled Judson during a fit of jealousy.
No, it is nothing more than faith; earlier the Doctor fend soff the vampires with his own faith: his faith in his companions. He tells the Russian soldier that only absolute faith will do - but it can be faith in anything.
@@RopeDrink In the novelization, right? If my memory of three decades ago is correct.
the funny thing is that he wears this cockade on his chest, although it is a cockade, i.e. it is worn on a headdress. In addition, it is a post-war cockade of tank troops and aviation (they were considered elite and to show this, they even had a golden wreath on their everyday cockade).

I mean they were bloodsucking vampires.
Down with the parasites of the working class!
The vampires are bourgeoisie and class traitors

How is being a communist Anti-Semitic?
Stalin is quoted as saying that Anti-Semitism Is a crime punishable by death
You can't get any further from Anti-Semitism then that

Спасибо большое🙏💕
As russian I enjoyed this scene.
Yes, I know you may hate me because of my nationality today, but please, let's live here peacefully, ok?
No worries mate.
Bring back socialism
@@michaelhorn6029 from the heart, sir✊🏻
Nobody hates you and theres more than the russian state behind this fuckshow anyway. Let us all struggle for peace and unity, because at the end of the day all wars are rich man's wars
@@Awoo- It is on its way.
He was played by Polish actor Tomasz Borkowy en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomasz_Borkowy (credited as Tomek Bork) who also played a part in The Unbearable Lightness of Being. He's famous in Poland for being a lead in famous TV series Dom (The House).
Give that man the Order of Lenin award! And the Order of the Red Banner! And the Hero of the Soviet Union! Plate his coat with medals, like Marshal Zhukov!
Zhukov could probably waltz into a room filled with these creatures without a hair on his head (I know he was bald, who cares?) being harmed
"Right, what's a war hero got to do to get some lubrication around here?"
@@zvezda4701I think the Haemavores would shrivel up to dust upon being in a room with Zhukov
@@senabecool7232 I didn't know Beria was a Haemavore

The best McCoy story of all. A little masterpiece. :-)
It actually works better by including the Soviet anthem and flag...but I guess the show was more about the soldier's faith in communism as an ideal. It's the faith that doe sit. Like the Doctor using his faith in his companions earlier.

Самое смешное, что в советском фольклоре это работало. Атеистическое советское общество наделяло магическим значением идеологические символы.
Гоооооол!
Trimakasih atas kunjungannya salam dari petani buah naga
Веру в коммунизм ещë не кому не удавалось пошатнуть
공산주의빔ㅋ ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Vampires are scared of communism now😂
I digited, doctor who vampires afraid of comunism, and it worked kk
Rip logic
It's just very logical
The Holy Father used the Bible and the cross as something he SINCERELY BELIEVES in
So here, too, a Soviet soldier uses a hammer and sickle - AS WHAT HE BELIEVES IN
@@bumble-bee189 logic accepted
I guess Putin would be happy with this outcome 🤣
