Kalci Posted May 11, 2023 Report Share Posted May 11, 2023 (edited) Hi everyone I just thought I will share this piece with you here. I very much like the VIBE of this 80s Hungarian Song and real footages of Budapest shot in 1988. This was the reality here back then in one of the most advanced places within' the Soviet Union. Hope you gonna like it Car : Lada, the shape can be familiar to those familiar with the 1960s italian cars because the Soviets basically purchased the Fiat 124(1966-1974) platform and started to build their own cars from that. So they didn't have to start designing something from zero. This particular one in the video has something of a modified front bumper or a lip added to it so it looked big business at the time I guess Edited May 11, 2023 by Kalci 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vicegirl85 Posted May 14, 2023 Report Share Posted May 14, 2023 Interesting to see that some of the filmmaking techniques/styles used in MV were also being used in the Soviet Union at the time. I wonder if this was a sign of MV influence, or a broader pop cultural trend. Guess it could have had elements of both! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnyfarragut Posted May 14, 2023 Report Share Posted May 14, 2023 (edited) My grandfather worked in the Spanish Embassy in Austria back in the 50s. He told us the story of the Hungarian Revolt: they could hear the Soviet artillery fire across the frontier. At first everyone thought 'the Russians are coming' and started packing suitcases like crazy, just in case they had to leave in a hurry. Crazy times.
