July 22, 2015 at 23:06Over 1 Million Minutes Historical Video Associated Press Appears on YouTube
One of the largest news agencies in the world, the Associated Press (AP), today announced that a historical archive of video recordings lasting more than a million minutes will appear on AP’s YouTube channel . AP joined forces with another British newsreel archive, British Movietone , which stores unique videos shot between 1895 and 1986 on another 35 mm film.
The historical range of film documents presented, the archive of which totals more than 550,000 videos, is actually quite wide. It's like a purely “historical” video, like a recordingthe consequences of the San Francisco earthquake in 1906, as well as the agency’s reporting shootings, a large part of which are devoted to historical events in the USSR. For example, in this short news video of 1971 “RUSSIAN SPACE DISASTER” we are talking about a Soyuz-11 space flight, during which three astronauts died: G. Dobrovolsky, V. Volkov and V. Patsaev.
No less curious is the video on the flight of the Soviet supersonic passenger aircraft TU-144, which in the last shots looks almost indistinguishable from the French Concord. This video without sound, probably, at one time it was not shown to the general public:
A very interesting opportunity to feel "in a different time": the newsreel "Russia at war" was released on July 24, 1941. A British commentator describes the life of Soviet people a little over a month after Nazi Germany’s attack on the USSR.
