This is Russia 1959
This video features excerpts from "This is Russia", a WTVJ - Miami kinescope program narrated by Ralph Renick in 1959. A group of Florida professional businessmen visited Russia to capture footage of everyday life in Communist Russia and briefly discuss the country's history. Free health care services lead to over-crowded hospitals. Supermarkets and traffic are non-existent due to the poor economy. Khrushchev, the First Secretary of the Communist Party in the Soviet Union, is also interviewed about his country's lack of intent to go to war.
