Quoting: Tamonten Betrayed and destroyed by the incompetent leaders 40 years after the great Victory. Next question? Why does Russia celebrates victories of most evil empire ever that, according to Solzhenitsyn ("200 years together"), killed around 60 million Russians? P.S. I know the answer, I'm just curious if you know it too. Because Solzhenitsin was either lying or in delusion. His estimates are based on speculations and hearsay at best. From 1921 to 1954 (Stalin's reign) 3777380 people were convicted for "counterrevolutionary" (i.e. political) crimes. 642980 of which were executed. At it's peak GULag system (which included common criminals) had 2500000 inmates. It's less per caputa than in US right now. And we are celebration victory of the SU, because Russia is its legal and natural successor. Wow. I thought you didn't know the answer and you proved me right but I had no idea that you think you know history better than a dude, nobel prize winner, who lived it. Literature and Peace Nobel Prizes are the most politised ones out there. They are given not to those who've really earned it, but to those who were the best at serving West's interests. Not to mention, that 60 mln is a ridiculous number. You can't hide it if it was the truth. It's impossible to exterminate 1/4 of population without anyone noticing. The only way I could explain this numbers is that he extrapolated the ratio of executed in Soviet elites to the whole population of SU. Because Stalin was really strict on that matter. Most of those who were executed for "political" reasons, were middle and high-class Soviet elites who either failed in their tasks or became corrupt. As for your question, there's actually a simple answer in the very first song I posted: There is no such family in Russia without a hero remembered. And the eyes of the young soldiers are looking from the faded photos... Last Edited by Tamonten on 05/09/2016 11:29 PM "When every one is dead the Great Game is finished.

Tamonten (OP) User ID: 34754802 Russia 05/09/2016 11:36 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | No info and celebrations about V-day in USA , almost like some Americans feel bad NAZI lost war ..... Quoting: Anonymous Coward 70938833 71 years already ......... That's why I am posting it here. Official celebrations are not really that important. "Immortal Regiment" is the real celebration. Just in Moscow more than 700k people took part in it - that's may be the highest count possible, unless you close off all the city's traffic for the day. In some cities up to 1/6 of population were taking part - 250k in Novosibirsk which has 1.5m population in total. "When every one is dead the Great Game is finished.

Tamonten (OP) User ID: 34754802 Russia 05/09/2016 11:41 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Do any Russians actually know their country cooperated with Hitler? German troops even trained in SU, but I'm guessing Russians themselves have never heard about it. There is no doubt you were allies with Hitler until he ran out of resources and had to attack you. It's a fact. Quoting: ZmeyGoryNich 72119970 You're basically celebrating the victory of Zionist-controlled soviet Union over Zionist-sponsored Germany. I feel sorry for you Russians, as you are terribly brainwashed and your current 'leader' is an agent of bankster elite leading you into abyss... Do you actually have an industry other than oil, gas and arms production? You see, Putin doesn't give a shit about the future of Russians, or the future of Slavdom in general, since he is a Zionist tool, but you can believe the official propaganda as much as you want. Who's the one brainwashed here, I wonder?.. Do you know, that SU was the last European country to sign a treaty with Nazis? Do you know about Munich Agreement? Do you know how Poland participated in plunder of Czechoslovakia together with Nazis after it? Do you know that after the war many inherently German lands were given to Poland under Soviet influence? Do you know how millions of Germans were expelled from their homelands by Poles as a result of it? I'll try to answer the rest of your rubbish, when you'll educate yourself a bit.

Tamonten (OP) User ID: 34754802 Russia 05/09/2016 11:51 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I was just listening to the rock version of the Russian National Anthem. Truly inspiring, puts the Star Spangled Banner to shame, and a pure white dove flew past my window. Quoting: Feral Underclass I am way the hell and gone out in the country and I've never seen this particular dove before. It just barreled on by at full speed about five feet off the ground. Does a white dove have any significance in Russian culture? Since this thread has a Russian theme I just thought it worth mentioning. Feral Thanks. White dove with olive branch is an international-recognized symbol of peace actually. Historically it has come from Christianity, where in Eastern iconography it's customary to paint Saint Spirit as a dove. It may seem a paradox, having a peace symbol on the military parade, but it's actually not the case. "If you want the peace, you should prepare for war." Openly showing your military might serves the purpose of preventing conflicts better than all peaceful proclamations there are. "When every one is dead the Great Game is finished.

They lost 27m souls only in WWII not to count Bolsheviks terror and civil war victims. In total 40-50m were killed just in 30 years. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 72182703 Have no any real achievements since USSR collapse and live in their memories and super power illusions. Matrix-like reality. There is no way they lost that many people unless they were breeding like crazy. The population of the Soviet Union increased tremendously throughout the 20th century.

Quoting: Holy Cow!_33 . BS. The US could have gone further than the Elbe if they had been allowed to as well. . It's a truth actually, but... Where were the so-called Allies in 1942, when Churchill (who was tasked with dealing with Stalin) was constantly promising to start an assault on Nazis from the west?.. Normandy happened only after Soviet Army expelled Nazis from Soviet territory and started to free European countries from them. Allies has come to Europe to take part in beating of already defeated enemy. And Stalin allowed it precisely because he wished for peaceful coexistence. Churchill betrayed that trust in less than a year after the victory though. As usual when dealing with Anglo-Saxons... "When every one is dead the Great Game is finished.

We (well, mostly my parents and grandparents) were feed with Soviet propaganda of "rotten West" for quite some time and it was ridiculous - actually the great difference between official narrative and things seen by people was one of the main reasons why Soviet system has collapsed. But when it did, it seems that the West really started to rot. As far as there was a competition, an alternative - elites were forced to stay sharp and improve things. As one of our pundits said some years ago, "The West drank so much on SU's funeral, that it's still suffering from the hungover". Sadly, the only thing that has ever forced anyone to take a grip was a treat. A world without competition - Fukuyama's "End of History" - is a picture of immediate collapse and degradation.

At any rate, you must be out of your mind if you expect anyone to believe you more than author of "Gulag Archipelago" who knew West as good as he knew USSR when he was writing "200 years together" Two matters here: 1. How can anyone be sure, that the "genocide" you are talking about is not the fake propaganda fabricated to explain why Yugoslavia was an evil-evil state? 2. Even if it is true - it's possible for small closed-off societies. If Solzhenitsin was talking about some isolated minority exterminated, it would have been be at least believable. But he's talking about Russians - the biggest majority in Russia, in a century when almost a half of Russian population relocated to another region within 3 generations. It's impossible to extermination of 1/5 of existing population in this case. Many times in later years surveys were performed in different regions - people were asked if they saw or heard of someone they knew imprisoned during Soviet period. Almost everywhere the result was the same - in clear correlation with criminal situation. 0,5% to 2% or so.

I thought you didn't know the answer and you proved me right but I had no idea that you think you know history better than a dude, nobel prize winner, who lived it. Literature and Peace Nobel Prizes are the most politised ones out there. They are given not to those who've really earned it, but to those who were the best at serving West's interests. Not to mention, that 60 mln is a ridiculous number. You can't hide it if it was the truth. It's impossible to exterminate 1/4 of population without anyone noticing. The only way I could explain this numbers is that he extrapolated the ratio of executed in Soviet elites to the whole population of SU. Because Stalin was really strict on that matter. Most of those who were executed for "political" reasons, were middle and high-class Soviet elites who either failed in their tasks or became corrupt. As for your question, there's actually a simple answer in the very first song I posted: There is no such family in Russia without a hero remembered. And the eyes of the young soldiers are looking from the faded photos... oh yes it is. It happened in Croatia too. About million people were killed in couple months, mostly Croats, all croatia's Germans and most Italians. And nobody had a clue until collapse of communism and Yugoslavia. In communist countries everything is possible, everything bad and evil that is. And everything can be hidden. And everything communists say is a lie or bit od truth in order to protect greater lie. At any rate, you must be out of your mind if you expect anyone to believe you more than author of "Gulag Archipelago" who knew West as good as he knew USSR when he was writing "200 years together" Two matters here: 1. How can anyone be sure, that the "genocide" you are talking about is not the fake propaganda fabricated to explain why Yugoslavia was an evil-evil state? 2. Even if it is true - it's possible for small closed-off societies. If Solzhenitsin was talking about some isolated minority exterminated, it would have been be at least believable. But he's talking about Russians - the biggest majority in Russia, in a century when almost a half of Russian population relocated to another region within 3 generations. It's impossible to extermination of 1/5 of existing population in this case. Many times in later years surveys were performed in different regions - people were asked if they saw or heard of someone they knew imprisoned during Soviet period. Almost everywhere the result was the same - in clear correlation with criminal situation. 0,5% to 2% or so. But in Moscow and St.Petersburg (Leningrad then) result was much higher (up to 25% had their relatives arrested in some places on central Moscow), and people noted that those arrested were mostly for political crimes. Solzhenitsin extrapolated the experience of relatively small Moscow elites to the whole country. That's the only explanation. Only propaganda is the number. It wasn't one million but 300-400 thousands killed by Croat fascists during the war in ONE concentration camp. But commie Yugoslavia had nothing to do with it, they were killing after the war in smaller number but still thousands. |

Where there's one, there's ten, where there's ten, there is hundred and so on. Solzhenitshin too have started from millions imprisoned (which is true), then moved to tens of millions imprisoned and millions executed... it escalated in quite a way during his lifetime. Let's just say, that when he tried to estimate military loses of Red Army during WW2, his estimate turned out to be 3 times larger than the real one.
