An old man looks at an old building which belonged to the communist party.
is he sad? Is he dissapointed? There many interpretations
i would say he is melancholic, but is he? or is it just the music and the atmosphere? i don't know, but if i have to guess, it was disappointment, deep down communism is quite a beautiful thing, but we have yet to see it done properly, even now the theories are being reworked, so i would say he is disappointed that that thing is brandishing the name of all that is supposed to be forming communism.
In my opinion, The Soviet Union could have been the greatest country on the planet, if it weren't for the great betrayal that occured with Lenin's Testament. But even with Stalin's betrayal of the revolution, just look at what it was able to accomplish in it's time. The Soviet space program on it's own pioneered many aspects of space exploration, and is a testament to the hunt for knowledge.

Thus, I think this video is about an old man... wondering sorrowfully about what could have been if the Soviet Union had gone according to plan.
it's totally valid. (That's the idea, you can think that or the opposite that he thinks that communism betrayed him and he feels hatred)

Personally, i think the Soviet Union was doomed to end, because of the many contradictions it had. Like it was actually not communism but state-capitalism (different salaries, SALARIES alone, having the other countries of the Sov. Union producing prime products and basic industry while only improving russian industry, financing un efficient industries and not investing more on acheiving more production in less time, the "Nomenklatura" and the fact that trying to end in a stateless society by ruling the state is like trying to revive somone by stabbing him in the chest.

Yet, your opinion and interpretation is absolutly valid. Thanks for the comment!
Wow, I can see a lot of effort has been put into this. It's a very touching story, and the music goes well with it.
I'm fine. I have something in my eye, that's all.
Lol thanks.
Pretty decent, could probably do with more frames
