This 1962 black and white film about Soviet schools was distributed by McGraw-Hill Text-Films and produced and directed by Nicholas Webster.

Pictures teen-age boys and girls in school; examines their home life and the schooling of their parents and grandfathers.
Cars drive down a street in Moscow. A woman looks at mannequins in a window. A U.S. film crew carries a movie camera (:12-:33). Boys in white tank tops and shorts and girls in white blouses and shorts march around the gym to the commands of their teacher. They are split into two groups and compete against each other in a race (1:00-2:50). The outside of a multi-story apartment building is shown, followed by a family in one of the apartments. The mother prepares breakfast in a kitchen. Two brothers share a bathroom sink and get dressed for school. They eat breakfast (2:54-4:00). They walk to school, where they meet up with other children walking to school. The children, wearing uniforms, enter the building and line up to enter the classroom (4:01-5:12). In the classroom, children hold up numbers. They teacher walks around the classroom. Two students share a microscope (5:13-5:42). Students paint with watercolors and sketch buildings.

Every time I see one of these videos I am extremely curious to see where the people in the video are now. Thanks 🇨🇦
Like in those great 1950s international high school debate videos!
Same
Absolutely loved those little angels' gung ho renditions of short poems in English ; so cute. 👍
Soviet Union students learned English while all of the Soviet Block nations learned Russian.
Most of them didn't need to learn much, russian was lingua franca there anyway.
Still is.
Не у брову, а у око
@@Tuckerslam Russian is useless nowadays. No good modern books, no decent culture. Even the Soviet Union managed to produce some decent staff from time to time. Modern Russia is just nazi garbage
Who told you that nonsense...again primitive western propaganda from your government and media feeding mindless broilers like you?! In USSR in schools, pupils were learning German, French, English and in all the rest of Europe the same mostly English and German, some French and russian
I love the way the narrator is making the school system out as harsh, and so ridged towards students who don't study hard enough. 😂
The schools in the west that I knew about where I lived, we weren't taught a language or taught to share, or taught anywhere near that level of science and math, it was only the best that went to universities here in the 1960s. I think the teachers were nicer at the Soviet school than the ones we had. Our teachers never took the cane out of their hand, and without warning you'd cop a smack across the knuckles as the teacher walked past, for no reason most of the time. And I don't remember ever smiling or laughing at school other than lunch break.
This report was intended to make the Soviet Union look bad, but it allowed me to see, how the rich kids schooled with the factory workers children, and everyone was treated equally. No wonder they've been able to repel the USA for so long. The way we are these days, only the top 10% get a decent university degree, so we don't have a pool of the very best of our entire country applying for top jobs, but the top of the 10%, no wonder we're stuffed, literally.
The lessons they were learning about our schools and how many don't go, and some teachers don't like teaching, and they beat the children. That is 100 percent correct. I was there, in school during those years, I was lucky my parents owned the only store in our area, but many children didn't go to school, because they didn't have a uniform, or the parents had no way of getting them to school, or they needed them on the farm working. There were many reasons kids didn't attend school back then.
I wish I'd been schooled there, and maybe a wouldn't have had decades of propaganda forced into me about how cruel the Soviet Union was. No wonder they got a satellite up first, and a man in space. No wonder the USA hates them, it's quite obvious Washington is jealous, it's that simple.
Ah the heady days of Gagarin and Sputnik when the world trembled at the sound of our rockets
It's not that bad now either! A pity that the trembling now had to be caused by the response they got to their imperialist aggression.
You really love to be feared…
How about striving to be loved? 🙃❤️
@@elektrotehnik94 tis better to control the means of production
Interesting fact after wwII USSR put a 20% of its budget for education each year. Sputnik has came from there.
bullshit. You can't support it by facts. 20% is totally made-up.
Sputnik was a result of immense concentration of the resoources that only provided a short-lived result. My father was born a year prior to Gagarin flight. His home had no electicity for another 8 or 10 years. And yet the US have provided an ultimate defeat to the Soviets in the Space race. The Soviet system just reached the limits of its capacities in 60s. Was in decline ever since.
Can you name a single good medicine developed in USSR, any other essential technology? After 1970s USSR critically depended on technology imports from the West in exchange to oil and other resourses. What were USSR personal computers? Underpar rip-off copies of Apple and IBM computers.
👍🏻 My grandparents on both sides went thru the free Soviet education system from K to graduate school! They were chemical engineer, economic analyst, mechanical engineer, and research biologist. In Leningrad and Moscow they lived/worked/raised families. Beautiful, purposeful, and fulfilling lives they led!
Nazi Germany had also decent education. A lot of engineers worked "purposefully" during Hitler reign, got merried (Mein Kampf was a standard gift of the state to the newweds), grew children.
Don't whitewash USSR tyranny. It was ugly. In was inhumane.
Priceless.
Хорошо
А почему выкинули интервью Юрия Фокина в начале фильма? 3:00 Чугунная эмалированная мойка, такая же, как у меня была 4:01 3-й проезд Алексеевского Студгородка (с 1965 года улица Бориса Галушкина)
The SU's fat years were pretty good. From serfdom through discipline.
As a Cold War propaganda film, it of course has a log of negative bias. The gym coach for example. Many American coaches may have the same idea's about kids needing direction and discipline. Besides that, it does show the material conditions of the Russians at the time. Not so bad.
"it does show the material conditions of the Russians at the time. Not so bad." In their capital and largest city, Moscow. I imagine things weren't as nice in other areas.
Have you ever attended a toilet in a Soviet school? Especially in a small village?
The narration here is pretty weighted.
Don't whitewash Soviet Union. It was ugly and inhumane
Really???
;)))...
SPrangER.
It's learning was all about the country that they hate! From A-Z!
There is no such thing as a “complicated cosine function”!!!! It’s all VERY BASIC!!!
very gray
The "black and white" film doesn't help.
А вторая часть где? Я хочу успеть посмотреть пока Ютуб не заблокировали в России.
There was a hidden dig at America with the song about the depression, because during that time, US corporations were building huge factories in the Soviet Union.
Such as?
@@johnp139 Ford built, in a co-op project, the huge GAZ (Gorky) automobile plant. GM was also there before the end, and so were others through the depression before that. They did this as they were building up Germany as well.
"In May 1929, the Soviet Union signed an agreement with the American Ford Motor Company. Under its terms, the Soviets agreed to purchase $13 million worth of automobiles and parts, while Ford agreed to give technical assistance until 1938 to construct an integrated automobile-manufacturing plant at Nizhny Novgorod. The factory was founded and production started on 1 January 1932."
"In 1929, due to a rapidly growing demand for automobiles and in cooperation with its trade partner, the Ford Motor Company, the Supreme Soviet of the National Economy established GAZ."
Source: Wikipedia
"Mikhail Gorbachev may know about this chapter of Soviet-American relations; the Soviet press and historians have publicly forgotten it. But in any case, Gorbachev seems determined to repeat it. Perestroika without American technical and managerial input is probably no more conceivable to him than was a socialist future without Fordism and Taylorism to Lenin. Likewise, many Americans do not know about one of the most remarkable episodes of technology transfer in history. The American engineers, architects, and industrialists who helped build the productive base of communist Russia swept the record under the rug.
"In the 1920s the cream of American firms involved with automobiles, electricity, and workplace management were eager to sell the state of their art-give or take a few years-to the “Reds,” despite powerful anticommunist voices on the right. The Soviets were ready to buy, despite their aversion to capitalism. (They distinguished, as many Americans cannot even today, between America’s history-shaping means of production and our free-enterprise economic superstructure.) The United States had never enjoyed greater worldwide respect-or envy-than after World War I. The Soviets believed that the American system of production could consolidate the Bolshevik Revolution."

And building the White Sea Canal with slave labour.
Sure buddy.
Not sure where you got this bogus bit of history, but it’s very wrong as wrong. The first notable US company to do business in the Soviet Union was Pepsi, starting in 1974. It was a big deal at the time. Western companies did not make major investments until after the dissolution of the Soviet Union.
interesting the values being taught in this video that are absent in the domestic Marxist in America which are polar opposites.
What exactly is “domestic Marxism”?
the political and economic theories of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, later developed by their followers to form the basis for the theory and practice of communism
@@johnp139 Ask your mother.
Americans are poor sports, envy with rage, etc at Russia and the Russian people. Just see John P's comments. Little substance. The hatred drips off. God is judging us for our crimes against the world. We are not the good guys, sad to say. But people need to keep their egoes nice and tidy, shiny and safe.
The boogie man of “Marxism” is really getting tired. The idea that there are Americans who still see commies everywhere they look is a testament to the failure of education in this country.
Seems like an Ideal schooling for me.
Even though this episode is about education I the Soviet Union in 1962 showing the lives of children getting ready to go to school it's still a good episode how the teachers teach them how to read draw etc different from the Us school s
Learn how to write. You obviously failed in school.
Wonder what became of aloysha?😊
Шось на перерві дуже тихо,це так не було ніколи
так все показное.
At one time it was like that in America but you know what it's not anymore Trulia great change can only come from great leadership it will just get progressively worse under this present Administration March 31 2024
I Americans in 2023 it's comrade teachers.
Science instead of gender studies.
There’s no such thing as “gender studies” in elementary school. No “CRT” either. These are myths created to sway gullible voters.
I need to date me a nice Russian girl.
@@paulschab8152 ruZzian
@@paulschab8152 Los Angeles, we hear, features nice, well-educated Russian girls in the gaming tech/digital tech industries.
Gender studies is a science, genius
1:06 There's young Vladimir Putin.
He was probably a street thief by that time. You should google his childhood years.
I wonder how many commenters realize that is an American Cold War era propaganda film. Whatever content regardless of perceived accuracies must be viewed through the lens of American propaganda at that time.
Why should EVERYONE be able to attend college?!?
An educated citizenry makes a stronger nation. More informed voters, more productive workers. A country where only the children of the wealthy get higher education is doomed to fail in global competition.
@@jacksons1010 not necessarily. Look at the United States, we’ve got a bunch of lazy A$$HOLES now that don’t know how to do anything important.
It makes sense, providing they have an IQ above 105 and it's to teach them/make them learners, not program them with the insanity of leftism.
@@benisrood The way people seem the top 10% might only be 105+ 🤣
@benisrood - how very socialist and elitist. IQ is an imperfect measure at best. IQ does not indicate scholastic success or failure. There are plenty of lower IQ people that are perfectly capable of succeeding in higher education and plenty of higher IQ people who fail at it. Everyone should have the chance at a higher education and succeed or fail based on their own abilities or lack thereof.
This is the PROPAGANDA I was brought up on. I visited the USSR in 1978 and realized WE ALSO HAVE PROPAGANDA!
да, я согласен.
It's very good PROPAGANDA... :)))...
I want to stady, but not to go BAR.
SPrangER.
Stand with 🇺🇦 Ukraine
Competition, isn’t that CAPITALISM?!?
Nope. Capitalism is an economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit. If unregulated, capitalist systems tend towards monopoly rather than increased competition.
Can you imagine a class of American students of the same age being so comfortable in Russian or even French? Or handling that level of math?
For all they say these are average students of an average school, I think it's very likely that if I were running this school I would've warned the children in advance to be on their very best behavior, and warned the teachers only to call on students who could be trusted to make me look good.
And, of course, many American students of the same age *are* just as comfortable in Russian and French, or can do that level of math. We just admit openly that those aren't *all* our students.
@@constancebaker2767 yes, it's called показуха
pretending was a key in soviet mentality
In the US they would actually be dribbling the ball rather than just running with it. No wonder Communism failed.
хахаха 😂
Haha
Look around comrade
Around ... A way to NWO...
So bad...
SPrangER.
This was too painful to watch the whole thing.
