USSR TV End of Day Sign-off with Anthem (Translated into English + Subtitled)
Vložit
- čas přidán 6. 07. 2019
- Before the advent of twenty-four-hour television, channels would shut off broadcasts at a given time each night and show a "sign-off" to tell viewers to turn off the TV. Most channels all around the world showed the national anthem accompanied by patriotic images or videos; others (Like RTÉ in Ireland) would broadcast a prayer or religious song. I think this version was broadcast on national holidays in the USSR.
The practice of "signing-off" has largely grown out of fashion around much of the world because TV channels either show programming through the night or fill the wee hours with advertising. However, a few local stations in the USA have reintroduced the practice as a means to instil patriotism and Radio 4 in the UK also still plays "God Save the Queen" daily.
Through Google Translate I found this on Russian CZcams and added some subtitles. It claimed to show the CCCP TB (Soviet equivalent of BBC/NHK) end of day sign off from the 1980s, although in the years since I have suspected that it may be a reconstruction.
To aid English-language viewers, I have added subtitles throughout this video showing a translation of the original Russian anthem. Please turn on "closed captions" and select "English" if you would like to see them (the translation is an original by myself, feel free to use it for any use whatsoever).
This video is particularly interesting because it features the famous "turn off your TV" notice at the very end. Legend has it that this was included because Soviet TVs had a nasty habit of exploding and starting house fires when they were left on overnight.
I translated and uploaded this USSR TV startup video for fellow anthem-enthusiasts and it is NOT a political endorsement/message of any kind. Please keep the comments civil. Furthermore, Russian copyright law declares that all Soviet state symbols including this anthem are in the public domain.

Cat's out the bag, genie's out the bottle, this is the anthem of the dream of a better world.
And in addition to his many more serious crimes, fuck Putin for stealing the tune of the people's hymn to be the national anthem of his capitalist-imperialist zombie state.
Finally, someone else who knows russia (as well as america) is not on the side of the people despite using Soviet symbols to invoke nostalgia to promote petty nationalism.

There are no "bad renditions" of a national anthem. This one is good but listen to this more recent one. :)

I'm not even Russian but I felt the echos of patriotism in this. It's fascinating to see how the people of the USSR were shown their nation. Seeing things like this with a such a grand song proclaiming the glory of your nation. It feels like you are on the road to glory and greatness. Seeing this before going to bed would really fill someone's head with pride as they go to sleep thinking, "Tomorrow I will rise and do my part to keep that glory moving forward." I can see why anyone who lived when this aired would feel nostalgic for that time when the future seemed bright and boundless.

Hard not to be inspired by a nation that within a single generation went from a feudal backwater to winning a war against some of the evilest people in history and exploring space. We would all be lucky to see such progress in our lives.
While ironically led by some of the evilest people in history. They did all those great things yet murdered millions and enslaved a continent for decades.
I believe more Soviet people died under Stalin's rule than died from Hitler's war in Europe starting in 1939.
All at the expense of tens of millions of lives. USSR sucked. I lived in it. I know.
Yeah, thanks to a sociopathic thug who had no understanding of economics or finance. Stalin wanted to close a 100-year industrial gap with the West in 10 years, and he killed or exiled anyone who got in the way.
Communism is great until you run out of other peoples money
The reminder at the end, “Don’t forget to turn off the TV,” was a nice touch.
Honestly I want more intervals in TV like that. The adverts start and the first one is just "Maybe walk your dog around the block" or it's getting late "Remember to brush your teeth"!
As the other comment mentioning this is a cesspool...
Older TV sets were overheating (which shortened their lifespan) and even keen to broke, if left on for too long with static image - and a standard testcard is one.

Playing the National Anthem over something inspirational before shutting down broadcasting used to be common in other countries, too. I'm missing it. Nowadays, the time slot is occupied by extra long commercials, game shows and soft porn.
It's a great shame indeed that the TV sign-off has died out. It seems many TV channels would rather earn the relatively meagre income of 2 minute commercials instead of demonstrating a bit of healthy patriotism
TreeMovies there’s nothing “healthy” about patriotism

@@thelordofforeheads2839 I disagree. I can love my country without hating others or thinking mine is superior to others. I grew up on an island in the North Sea. The roaring thunder of the waves still moves me, even thinking about it. Does that mean that the Ural Mountains or Subsaharan Africa suck? No, not at all, it's just where I grew up and I'm attached to it.
@@thelordofforeheads2839 You're mixing it with nationalism. Patriotism is loving your country and being an active citizen, but not throwing shit on other countries, and being ready to defend your country or do something else for it. Nationalism is shitting all over foreigners, immigrants, other cultures, nations and races and is an early stage of fascism.
We still have this sort of broadcast sign offs in my country even now...
We used to have the same thing in America. Television stations began broadcasting at 6am with our national anthem being played over beautiful scenes from across our nation. The same happened at midnight when the stations shut down... and then we had six blessed hours of no television at all. Aaaahhhh! Now we have two hundred channels spewing vitriol 24/7. The torture never stops!
Same in almost every country in the world. The UK started it with the world's first TV channel (BBC 1) signing off with the national anthem. Then everyone else in the world just did the same just because. I do miss sign-offs though, instead of awful content at 3am that wouldn't air any other time of day.

@Ivan Ivan some Russians hated communism, others liked it and others were neutral. By using the logic of your statement I could say that all Americans hate the democratic party or the republican party, but it's not true, because you know people can have different opinions even if they speak the same language and live in the same country
I’ve read that most Russians that are old enough to remember have nostalgic feelings about the Soviet Union but it’s similar to an old relationship. You remember the good parts but have amnesia about why that person drove you crazy and why you left.
Some hated it, some loved it, but 80% of RSFSR's population was against desolvation of USSR.
It wasn't a revolution, it was a military coup...
Thousands of people were standing on Red Square for weeks , until democratic government removed them by tanks.
People wanted reds to come back, but will to survive and feeling of hunger were stronger. There was no time for rioting.

Everyone else’s 80’s aesthetic: stranger things
Mine:
Flamer Gorbachev was a decent leader for the ussr. If it weren’t for him, the soviets would last about 10 years longer, when maybe some other leader would destruct the Soviet Union.
Unless your a low effort troll or just don’t see through Marx’s rhetoric
Flamer I thought he took power in ‘84 but still good point
Flamer I guess I wasn’t clear on that. He did this on purpose, i suppose maybe the word Destroy was a bit overtone. The Soviet Union held no good in this world. However, what I getting from your response is free speech leads to harm? Technically, Gorbachev didn’t even dissolve the Soviet Union. That was Boris Yeltsins doing (good man). Gorbachev destroyed the sad little imagery of Lenin and Marx, and would’ve maybe brought the Soviet Union to a better life. Otherwise, Russia would still be under an authoritarian famine. Some could say that because of Putin, that still remains, but that’s besides the point.
The Soviets weren’t a good nation, and I don’t see the problem with it dissolving.
Only poseure and hipsters like Stranger Things. But the 80s suck in general. The 70s and the disco aesthetics of communist satelites are where it's at.
Stranger Things sucks tho.

It's probably because we all know the reality of USSR. And pretty much everyone would agree with me that most people if not everyone came here to see what kind of "entertainment" people were getting back then from something that is still relevant to this day and by that I obviously mean the mass media. It's a lot different now than it used to be back then, in the same exact country. I can only guess but you probably feel sad because you can realize that a thing like this could literally brainwash millions of people and you probably feel bad for them. At least this is what I truly feel.
The reason this makes me sad is it shows a beautiful depiction of the USSR, the most idealized and perfect version of what the Party thought they were. In real life, the USSR was a far more depressing place because of the Party's authoritarian/statist interpretation of socialism. It's sad because it shows a reality that could have been.

For USSR I always think of Sergey Fyodorovich Akhromeyev. Born in a poor peasant family, 4 month after USSR came to existence. Got education because of the equality from communism Fought against Nazi, watch the country grow into super power, plot invasion of Afghanistan, and watch the country collapse. He killed himself the very day the communist party dissolved, and also exactly 4 months before USSR ends. The experiment covers exactly one generation, and it failed. But for this very generation they are the product of USSR, and will always be remembered in the human history.
It's quite possible he was killed. Such people like Akhromeev don't kill themselves, as they've battled through hell on Earth. There was a lot of strange deaths of possible leaders of socialist opposition against 'democratic' reforms of Gorbachev and Yakovlev, starting in 1987.

The "it is now safe to turn off your compu--uhm--TV" sign is meant to protect the CRT from burn out. There were no screen savers back in the day and even if there were, it made no sense to keep all that broadcasting equipment powered on just to prevent some idiot's left on TV from developing burn spots.
Burn out doesn't mean "catching fire" - CRTs are coated with a special substance that emits light when hit by the CRT's ray gun - its how they draw an image. Now, if you leave your TV open, that coating eventually will start wearing off in the most bombarded areas. This is why on old monitors you'll see those burn spots taking the shape of text characters because that was the most displayed thing.
Someone probably associated that buzzer sound with a bomb and made a joke about TVs exploding and others ran with it because it fits the age old myth that Soviet technology was so backwards it had to be comically broken.

I love how people in the USSR were conservative with resources, I really really hope one day we will learn from them, Long live the motherland
@@mtado4933 lol you apparently do not know how many resources were wasted and improperly located due to central planned economy. that's why they had to save so much resources in other aspects. also turn off your tv message is there because soviet TVs were often catching fire if you left them on for hours.
@@mtado4933 the USSR was the most wasteful failure ever
@@cytrynowy_melon6604 > how many resources were wasted and improperly located due to central planned economy.
I think you forget one importang thing: USSR relied only on it's own resources, no matter how far are they from the general economic centers and how hard are they to extract.
The other option was buying stuff for people's money from abroad for insane prices - which was unacceptable for many reasons.
Tomasz Kolowca also wrong, you have to fuck up a design pretty bad for a tv to spontaneously combust, the reason the message was portrayed was due to the bright colors sort of imprinting an outline on the screen, making the tv useless. Almost all tvs at the time had this issue
Why is this nostalgic to me? I wasn’t even alive at the same time as this and I’ve never been to Russia

Јовишић Gulags stopped after Stalin, they were turned into prisoner work camps that the west also had. Housing was free and infrastructure was good, didn't have to worry about paying for electricity, water, etc. You didn't get punished for literally everything as many tend to believe. The 70s/80s was the best time as travel was eased and the economy was booming and you got access to more freedoms

4:20 - That noise at the end sounds like the messenge in the screen would be "Your television will blow up in 15 seconds"
It scared the hell outta me!🤣
That's actually what would happen if you left the TV on for too long. The beeping was to wake up people who had accidentally left their TV on before going to sleep.
'80s British TV also made a noise at the end of the night (but of course it was more restrained).
In Australia it was a 4 hour long BEEEEEEEEEP! Really loud and terrible to wake up to especially if you had a few too many drinks
Might have been 6 hours if I think about it, but man it was so fucking annoying
Very nice work, all the way around. Good imagery. It's good to see that my old Cold War counterparts knew how to work some cinematography. Old Soviet Era movies reveal a lot about a culture that we were never taught on this side.

I could imagine how this song made people believing in something much bigger. After a long and tough day at work where your salary is low, and your local supermarket has a scarce selection of goods, but then you are going to bed and getting reminded about that life is not as bad that you thought.
You are a citizen in a nation where everyone is happy about their decent life just like your life is. And you are living in a nation with an very diverse culture, where everyone likes to share their differences and uniqueness, yet everyone is united in being gratitude for your decent life.
It is beautiful.
If the politicians hadn't been so selfish, and corrupt in the USSR, it would truly have been the greatest nation on earth. I'm not really a fan of totalarian states but the core idea of communism, and socialism isn't the worse.
Yep, in communism, especially where your entire existence is fought to the death by the bourgeois, a decent life for even most is genuinely a miracle, and its amazing that the USSR managed to accomplish that in its own country, let along manage to try to help support it in other.
The Soviet Union went from a struggling Union to winning a world war becoming a superpower sending the first man into space.
Then becoming bankrupt and incredibly corrupt

man.... there's something about Television sign-offs that just, make you wanna go back to a simpler time. hell, i wasn't even around when these were a thing but the sign-off, paired with the Beautiful Anthem is definitely a way i wouldn't mind ending a night. say what you will about the soviets, but even a patriot, like myself has to admit that the soviet anthem is one of the most beautiful works of music composed. only rivaled by few other anthems.
The thing about TVs exploding wasn’t because of poorly made TVs, it’s because of poorly regulated power lines. At night, because of less electronics drawing power, the power line voltage would increase and overload appliances such as TVs and overheat them or cause them to break entirely. This could at times cause the CRT glass to warp and even explode, or at the least get terrible burn-in.
I heard its mostly becaue the front CRT had some imperfections that caused it to explode, internal stress of the material (glass) basicly
Not very likely, anyone waking up to pee at night would have a surprise firework instead of a toilet light then. The most technical explanation I've heard is vacuum tube electronics being too sensitive to many hours of non-stop operation, not exactly an explosion though, but apparently a real fire hazard and a hassle of getting replacement parts. (Kudos to Soviet stuff being user-serviceable btw)
Another possible explanation is that the warning was just a friendly reminder aimed at saving electricity and TV explosions being just a common myth.
Ummmm ok i guess?
This happens in Wales too my tv exploded at night in 2014
