Stalin's killing policy can be broadly understood by knowing he didn't really trust any class or people, he wanted to kill off adults so they could eventually be replaced by a generation that had only ever known Soviet rule.
Strange that this has so few views… Still, this information is useful for pointing out horrifying it was to live beneath the USSR's thumb.
Western media demonizing Russia 😳. How do you demonize a true demon army. Still is today.
At around 6:30 it is said that the Russians were not prepared for war and had the wrong aircraft and this is why they lost 3100 airplanes in the first 3 days. The question is where were those 3100 aircraft in order to be destroyed by the Luftwaffe? The answer is: those aircrafts were on airfields right at the border with Germany, right next to each other. Why? Down the rabbit hole you go…
Russian soldiers should not be respected
The way that Stalin treated ukrainians and other nationalities I don't blame them for switching sides
If u support communism in america in 2024 your either a russian bot a far left college kid who’s brain has not developed fully yet, or a 300 lb trump supporter who thinks real news is anything promoted by russia
Aha, are you a historien, I doubt..
Myth #1,,, You left out how many surrendered to the Germans… (Very important stat,)
Rather than get shot by their own Army…..
They ONLY killed 10,000… Hmmm
We will never be able to well understand mentality of Russian people…. Homo Sovieticvs
I just can't. Trash English that can't pronounce words properly.
bUt But buT rUzZia bAd!
Great information. Unfortunately, they are still Brutal. I call the new guy Putler.
We were not the ones carrying guns, but we still suffered the consequences of war. Every night my mother cried silently, and I wondered when we would ever escape this nightmare.
Putin: "Russia will never again be invaded from the West."
We in the West should heed those words.
Hey you forgot about something women not only served as snipers but as tankists air force pilots there a famous air squad called the night witches who did a lot of bombing runs against the nazis in thier old school bi plane po2 aircraft
Even though I accept these figures, the fact is that many armies most likely retired many of its commanding officers either just before the start of the war or with a year of it starting. The fact that the soviets executed many of their generals is really no different to other nations retiring theirs from active service.
So sad about Rosa Shanina, a beautiful young woman with the heart of a lioness. A kindergarten teacher, and a killer. And Lady Death, whose response to the ignorant American press was classic. No Rosie the Riveters: 800,000 Soviet women in combat. Pilots, tankers, snipers . . . and Pavlichenko is a legend: just ask 309 dead Germans. Not quite Finland's "White Death", Simo Hayha, but very impressive.
How many more excuses are you going to make for the Russian hoard, comrade? Oh, maybe the Russian soldiers that became POWs didn't want to go back to the Soviet Union because they were going to be welcomed by Uncle Joe and his ghouls.
