Adam Curtis' documentary on the fall of the Soviets and 10 year aftermath is the deep dive on this topic. Part 1 of 4. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ke600MgW1F

  Excellent. Thanks for sharing this. Just finished part one. I really like the way it was made, just fragments of the daily soviet life.

  Excellent documentary. While it has been criticized for factual errors and omissions, it is by a wide margin the best documentary conveying the feeling of living through that time: the emptiness of not knowing where you are and what you should do to reach any kind of normal, stable, predictible life. Many people in the west nowadays believe that they are living in end times because they are overwhelmed by the many things changing around them. That documentary shows the opposite. The silence that arrives when the music stops. You are hungry, stores are empty, no one knows when and if ever they'll be restocked. Society just grinds to a halt and stops functioning. Completely unimaginable situation for modern people who are used to abundance.
