As an American who went to high school in the 1980s, I remember how shocked I was to learn how many Russians died and to find out they were the ones that really took the wind out of the Germans. Most of the WW2 movies made it look like the US won the war almost single-handedly.
Not fully a lie, bc of military suppor that US send to others. Without a help from US USSR would most likely have lost the war. Many people think that tanks helped win the war, but everyone forgets that more than 70% of the USSR's trucks were delivered under lend-lease from America. Military infrastructure has always been a problem for Russia and later for the USSR and even in the current war.
@@BlackJackSincroknight military aid and loan from the USA to the USSR was less than 12% of the total costs spent by the then USSR on the war. At the same time, several American companies supported Hitler personally throughout the war, among them was H. Ford, who supported the Nazis even before the start of the war. The USA fought against Hitler and at the same time did business with him, capitalists like money even if it is bloody and this is still true today, while the seeds of all wars after the end of World War II can be found in American politics.
@@BlackJackSincroknight Better tell me how come Britain's support came out to 3 times that of the ussr? On what fronts was Britain fighting? Apparently Britain has 3 times as many people?
The Katyn massacre mentioned in relation to the Poles was carried out by the Russians. Stalin had the Polish elite killed there so that they lacked the intelligence to offer effective resistance. Many Poles also died in the subsequent occupation by Stalin because Poles and Russians hated each other even before that. The Poles were not deliberately killed like the Jews. Rather, they were forced into slave labor. If they were used in factories, the risk that they would die was high. If they were used in agriculture, they probably survived. And among the dead civilians, many are Jews who were deliberately killed. Poland had one of the largest Jewish communities in Europe.
@@excavatorhead5758 Polish witnesses testified that Russians had picked up the victims and the bullets in the bodies were of Russian caliber. The Poles always knew who the murderers were and who was lying to them then and now.

In two months, the USSR evacuated 1,760,000 people from Leningrad by train, because there were no other ways to get to Moscow, all the cars were used for military needs. At that time, 4.5 million people lived in Leningrad and the Leningrad region. Therefore, what is said in the video about the Gulag in Leningrad is a lie.
Because Stalin ordered the evacuation, they were not send to gulags. What the video says is when civilians were ordered NOT to evacuate from a town or city but still did, then they were send to gulags.
Stalingrad was actually quiet a simplified. It lasted for months and people fought for every floor of every building, it was pretty litteraly fighting for ich inch of the land

as a Ukrainian, your family not having someone to have died during the war is nearly unheard of. Personally my great grandfather was lost before my grandfather was born.
@@lucgonzo Not sure. My great granfather had 7 older brothers. He was consripted in 1942 and he was the only one to return. His father died, his all brothers died. It was not just someone died in each family. Some regions of USSR were under extreme consription into the army, others were extensively bombed or under occupation. The only regions that were safe had low population. Another fact is that if a soviet soldier got captured by Nazis they could not return to home right after the war. Soviets set filtration camps to jail those who surrendered to Nazis during the war. Everyone was suspected of collaborating with Nazis. After the filtration those found not guilty were free to return to what left of their families
@@coquettishcatofrivia4364 ofc, France had less casualties in WWI than russia in WWII, but France had a way lower population, and in WWI, way more people were needed in farming etc... it wasn't exactly like russia, but we had too family to lost 4,5 sons in the same year, manpower shortage etc...

The Nazis main rival was not the U.S. or England, it was Russia and the Jews. The main German army power was focused on Russia, what the U.S. and the British fought were countries that were forced to fight on the Nazi side mostly.
@@iron_side5674 Literally full true. For Nazi Germany - Soviet population wasn't even considered human, and communism - root to all evils in the world. So the main goal of Hitler was to destroy USSR and genocide Soviet population (and Jews, ofc). US, french people and Englishmen were considered "good enough" people. They weren't slaughtered like animals, weren't hauled to death camps.
As a Russian, it really gets under my skin when people say that the US won, instead of Russia.I am not opposed to the idea that the United States also played a role in the victory, although perhaps not as significant as Russia's. However, in its propaganda, the United States claims that it was the victor, while Russia merely stood aside.
Pre WWII Soviet Union had a population of 152 Million give or take. Post WWII Soviet Union had a population of 133 Million and they have never really fully recovered from that, an entire generation was wiped out in that war on all fronts. Former Yugoslavia surrendered quickly but everyone kept their guns, a few months after the partisan's began to form and harass German and Italian supply lines, as a result, Germany empowered the Croatian Ustashe black shirts to cleanse Yugoslavia of undesirables and they proceeded to eliminate about a million people between 39' and 45' hence the high post-war casualties.
How do you know this figure of 133 million? The first post-war census in the USSR was not conducted until 1959. No one really knows how many citizens of the USSR died in WW2. Some historians put the number at 30 to 50 million. Now it's officially recognised as 27 million. The archives are still closed.
10:30 The "two men; one rifle" thing is a commonly parroted myth propagated by pop culture, based on a misunderstanding: The Soviet army suffered material shortages at the outset of the invasion. It didn't _literally_ send hordes of unarmed soldiers into German machine guns and hope for the best like in Enemy at the Gates. You can see on the graph that the bulk of Soviet casualties were from the early stages of the war when the Soviet army was least organized, least mechanized, more akin to a peasant army. The high casualties there are partly Stalin's failure; he repeatedly refused to believe Germany was going to invade so soon and had a mental breakdown as soon as it happened, which caused delays in command, leading to disorganized retreats and mass encirclements. For months, the Nazis waged an almost unopposed war of annihilation (Hitler's words) against the retreating civilian population and POWs.
Oh this duality of history, from one side ,crazy paranoid(funny fact ,even with how popular this is, there is no factual proof its true, but i kinda think its true) dictator who maybe not shoot ALL victims of Great Purge ,but definetly start it as phenomen and didnt reduce its consequences and the one who wasnt really good(was really bad) at being generalissimo And on the other hand ,ruler who with Iron fist bend country who withstand land axis assault and was able to end War in Berlin
It being solely Stalin's failure is kinda a myth as well, one born out of personality cult (just a negative side of a personality cult). He had a government, ministers and other small fries handling all kinds of things. And they did pretty well on their civilian part by evacuating factories east before the invasion started and ramping up military production. The red army command, especially low ranking officers were kinda crap at their job, because they had almost no education and experience. And with a German army that was veteran from private to general at this point - you just make one mistake and it's joever. And these people made mistake after mistake. Until they learned. The ones that didn't die. Thankfully they had a lot of land and people to trade for that military wisdom they gained... Red army was as much of a peasant army as a French one, since they had at least as many tanks facing Germans as France had in 1939. Were those tanks shit? Oh yes they were. But that at least puts things into perspective. When no one is prepared for Germans, then who's to blame? Just like when everyone failed a test at your class, then what's the point of singling out someone who scored 3rd.
Its good to know that people exist, that know history and teach others about it. Stalin as a leader was no different to western leaders in terms of cruelty, especially not someone like Churchill for example. Unfortunately people always need an enemy so they can live an easy life knowing they are the good guys
@@dominikmagnus It also feels quite surreal. You don't see many people cursing Ignacy Mościcki for the fall of Poland and the death camps the Germans set up. Imagine a scenario in which the Soviet Union had not survived Operation Barbarossa and the Nazi occupation exterminated its soldiers, a large part of the rural population, and almost its entire urban population like it had intended (over 50 million people from urban areas alone) to make room for mass industrial reinvestment, and pop historians a century later were still blaming the disaster on the Soviets' unwillingness to surrender, rather than the colonial, genocidal ambitions of the Nazi state.

In the USSR, 95 percent of the military went to war voluntarily; many teenagers from 17 years old signed up as volunteers because there was not enough fresh strength at the front and losses were also caused by the fact that at the beginning of the invasion, Germany took the USSR by surprise and military units were bombed in the first hours of the war and was house and soldiers died without even having time to take up weapons, and Germany was superior to the USSR in military technology
Many did go voluntarily but 95% is a massive exaggeration. Other things you said are correct but the main reason for ridiculous number of causalties beside unreadiness is incompetence of Soviet generals. If your only tactical thought is constant human wave attacks against strong enemy positions you are bound to get slaped around like Soviets were until Stalingrad. Honestly if USSR would have a semi competent leader instead of Stalin those causalties could be reduced by half
@@amberanubis8336there was no human waves, they was facking defending ,its not just historic myth ,its simply unlogical Of course not every soviet general was genius ,but saying its THEIR bad desicion is crazy There was shit ,by allready mentioned Stalin, like holding Kiev and so on, which result in ~660k encircle But you instead blame him as bad LEADER, which wrong too, cruel? Paranoid? Maybe and actually most likely . Bad? NO ,if it was someone else country wouldn't withstand even summer of 1941 nor from industry perspective(rapid industrialization and five year ,plans) nor from spirit)ideological side(communist(as idea), socialism in one country(as "project" ) promotion, and of course cult of personality)
voluntarily my ass))))) as russian i gonna tell you there is no fricking way majority od people were going there voluntarily. as i remember from grandpa he told me about his father(my grandgrandpa), they were confused about war, cause soviet union invaded poland and finland, so people knew that soviet union started ww2 along with germany, it wasnt just bad germany. he was soviet solder and got captured in 1942. he said it wasnt bad working for germans as prisoner, he said he was treated as human and if we compare it to how soviet union treated own citizen was much worse then being prisoner in germany. when in 1945 he was released by soviet army they sent him home for some short time and then to soviet concentration camp till 1948 for getting captured by germans in 1942. grandgrandpa said it was worst years of his life, grandma said that grandgrandpa lost much weight in soviet concentration camp and got back with mental problems. so what we got from my grandpa story. that history is written by victors. soviet and allies won so they write history books about how bad were germans and how absolutely good where soviets and allies. i am not justifying what germans did i just pointing that all sides of war where fucked up. in video it said all fighting sides including usa and uk where using human shields.
It's wild how some people are still spreading the myth of 1 soldier getting a rifle and the 2nd one getting ammo, that's seen in the movie Enemy at the Gates as if it were historical fact... The reason Soviets lost so many people is that early in the war they were caught totally off guard and Germans were waging a war of genocide against the Slavic people in the east. They were encircled and captured in massive amounts (literally millions) and obviously would not survive the imprisonment. Later in the war (about after Stalingrad) they were trading deaths with the Germans about equally.
I mean, there were shortages of equipment in the Red Army at various times. And while calling it a norm throughout the entire war might be excessive, there were definitely plenty of cases where some soldiers were sent to fight without rifles or submachine guns, tho they could've been given a sidearm, or grenades or whatever was at hand.

The USSR had about 180 million people in 1941 (start of German invasion). This includes lands occupied in 1939-40. Total losses between 1941 and 1945 are 27,000,000. That is more than Germany’s, UK’s, USA’s, and Poland’s losses combined, with more lives remaining
@@rustemzakirov5733 ? If you mean that USSR lost that many, then their is a debate still going on, but the majority consensus is >26.5 million people (rounds to 27 million). If you mean Germany+Poland+USA+UK, then it is 8 mil+6mil+400k+400k which is 14-15 million people dead.
Нет в России и в Украине семьи такой, которая не потеряла родных. Поэтому сейчас так горько видеть, как определенные люди отказываются от советского прошлого и сносят памятники.
Отказаться от прошлого нельзя, оно уже было. Но осудить бесчеловечный совковый режим вполне можно. Человеконенавистническое государство, которое свое население гнобило и уничтожало не меньше чем "чужое, вражеское". Нужно быть отбитым наглухо, чтобы скучать по нему и хотеть вернуть.

as a german i am surprised, by how little we were tought in school about the war, i mean we did learn a whole lot about the holocaust, but the frontlines were merely discussed, and if only the western battles such as d-day or the battle of the bulge, i'm really disappointed that we learnt nothing about the autrocities on the eastern front besides the unaliving of jews, that we didn't learn who we even fought in africa, and that there was never explained how and why there was a scandinavian front. The only thing we did learn besides all of that, were the atomic bombs, but only to a reference for the now still ongoing ukrainian war. Please be aware that I graduated the so called 'Realschule' about a year ago, and that I can't speak for every school in germany, just the school I was attending. And also i don't mean to harm anyone by this, I just liked to say my opinion on the internet once. Thank you for reading.
I'm from germany too and we did learn about all this at school in the late 80's / early 90's. And i wasn't even at "realschule", only at "hauptschule". It's a shame to not being educated about this, especially as a german.
That's because there isn't enough time in school to go through everything in detail; history lessons have to focus on crucial points. It's no different in other subjects. If something interests you, nobody stops you from looking into it further. Or study it.

The Mongol invasion took longer. People were born and growing up again in the meantime. And the empire was huge. The Mongols ruled over a large part of humanity. That meant a lot of deaths spread across the entire empire.
When I grew up in Russia in the 1990s I was brainwashed by TV and at school. They told me that Stalin did not allow cities like Stalingrad and Leningrad to be evacuated. When I got to university I had an opportunity too read sources and old books from 60s and 70s. If I remember correctly Stalingrad provided transportation for ~1.3 million refugees from the Western part of the country and accommodated hundreds of thousands too. Because the Nazis massacred civilians, many people fled to the east (to Stalingrad too). But the USSR at the time had a minuscule number of cars and trucks. So, the USSR had to use a limited amount of horses and trains it had. Millions of people were evacuated to Siberia (and the government had to build entire cities for them there) but first and foremost - people from cities in the west because they already had no homes, jobs, clothes, etc. People that lived in Stalingrad and Leningrad were evacuated too but mostly after people that fled to these cities. So I realized two things: 1) It's very difficult to evacuate half a country from a mass murdering Nazi regime 2) Russian education system in the 90s lied to children on purpose, because it had to taught Russian kids to hate and despise Russia (because Russia was basically occupied by USA)

Basically we can thank Russia for expending most of Germanys supplies and troops. The Brits for holding Germany off until momentum swung. The Americans for bringing in fresh troops and supplies to change the momentum of the war. Australia for doing much more than anyone could have hoped considering how far removed they could have been.

The fact that Stalin deliberately did not save Leningrad is complete nonsense. Leningrad is the most important ideological center. Any delay in saving it is unacceptable and could lead to the destruction of the city. No matter how you feel about Stalin, you cannot say that he was stupid. The city's supplies passed through Ladoga, and this is an extremely dangerous lake, transporting people across it would have been deadly. The only way to save the city was to retake it, which is what the Red Army did.
The video did not say Stalin deliberately didn't save Leningrad. It said that he deliberately (and not just at Leningrad) refused to organize the evacuation of civilian population of endangered areas.

And while some people were evacuated during the month in between, there was no concentrated effort to facilitate a large scale evacuation, which is why most civilians remained in the city. Even after that, the encirclement wasn't full, and many people did manage to escape throughout the siege. The point is that during that one and a half month when it was clear the Germans are coming for the city, no appropriate measures were taken to evacuate it. And while to a degree that may be attributed to the overall chaos, it's also true that Stalin had no real desire to push for the evacuation. And Leningrad is only one among many examples of that kind of thing.

Вот почему на западе никогда нас не поймут, мы будем бится до конца. Поэтому наша страна реально непобедима , мы доказали это кровью миллионов наших людей 😢😢😢
I will add one more thing about the evacuation. That the special wish of the ghoul Stalin has nothing to do with it. And why weren't other cities evacuated entirely, including in Europe? And the Soviet ones that fell under occupation. And why wasn't Paris evacuated, or any other city on the path of the Wehrmacht army? And in today's wars, why aren't all the residents taken out even when the evacuation is announced and carried out? And even for war goals? There is only one answer - it is very difficult. There is not enough time or other resources.
British india death is showing extremely decreased numbers. Bengal famine of 1770 alone killed 10 million people. There are more than 10 famines throughout British rule in india.
70million death + wounded ca 85 millions + families who lost they relatives c 15 million families. = daamage for population 200 million = that time 6 % of world pop.
A lot of the civilian deaths in the Philippines also came from the U.S. When it was occupied by Japan, the US planes firebombed the occupied territories, killing Japanese soldiers and Filipino civilians alike. An estimated 100,000 Filipino civilians died because of U.S. air raids. It was an incorporated territory of the U.S. at that time (like Puerto Rico’s status,) but they never considered Filipinos as “Americans” so they didn’t care who their bombs fell on. That’s why the Allies may think they were on the right side of WW2, but for the countries who were just demolished, there was no right side. It was a battle between two monsters and either one didn’t care who they trampled on.
Americans killed Asian civilians because they didn't care if they died or not. Japanese wanted to kill majority of non-Japanese (including Filipinos). I would say that it was worse because if the Japanese had won, they would have killed most Filipinos and made the survivors slaves.
Outside of Volgograd (what used to be called Stalingrad in the 1940's) you can find literal bone fields outside the city in the wilderness, as far as the eye can see, in the places where the Nazis and the Red Army fought. Thousands and thousands and thousands of unburied soldiers who were left where they died, and their bones still mark the place 80 years later.
The thing is Soviets are not only "Russia/ns", there were many countries inside the soviet union, like my country. We comparably population/casualties lost more people than Russians.
Ethnic Russian military casualties were 5.7 million. Ukrainian military casualties were 1.4 million. Other nations have it even less. If you try to count the civilian losses, it gets blurry as the Soviet Union had no borders for its citizens. Короче, не надо втирать, что русские страдали меньше остальных. Военнослужащих у нас погибло больше
"The 30 Years War" refers exactly to that. A conflict in Europe over 30 years (1618 - 1648) It was a religious conflict between Lutherans and Catholics. Thumbs up for your history reactions. I don't know how much you are into history but as a history nerd myself I have to suggest the Band Sabaton to you. Lots of songs about battles and wars without glorifying war itself. They even have some history videos explaining the songs backstory. Wish you lots of success Hei.
If you want some heavier stuff still history related, listen to Panzerfaust ("Men of No Man's Land" or "Day After Trinity") or Minenwerfer ("Der Blutharsch")
But you can appreciate it when someone wants to inherit from a dead soldier and has him declared dead. Or houses are expropriated because there is no longer an owner or something similar. You are not dependent on the army's data.
06:00 Post war military casualties are various resistance groups that continued fighting. (Kingdom of) Yugoslavia developped not one but two full blown resistance militias - the Soviet backed communist Partisans and monarchist Chetniks (remnants of the defeated army)...which not only fought Germans but primarily each other. There was also a Nazi puppet state in Croatia with it's own military that fought other resistance groups (and ran extermination camps for fellow Yugoslavians, Serbs and Jews primarily).
I get tears in my eyes every time I see mentions of our losses in this war. You simply won't find a single family from the USSR that wasn't affected by this war.

I advise this guy to study history so as not to laugh at such things in public, it really hurts, knowing that my parents' parents died for this red spot in history, which isn't even taught in history classes in other countries.
My Grandmothers brother was forcefully enlisted in Danzig 1945 to fight on the eastern front. He got hit by a bullet into the head.

Considering the An Lushan happened in the roughly mid 700s CE, it's understandable that such a huge percentage of the world population died in it. Year 536 CE was the most destructive year in human history as far as we can calculate and have sources for. (I don't know if we have any sources to help us estimate the impact of 536 on the Americas though.) There was an eruption (possibly 3 total) that spewed out so much debris into the atmosphere that it caused the majority of the northern hemisphere to experience loss of sun for about 1.5 years and temperature drops severe enough for snow to fall in summer (in China). Tree rings from this year have witnessed of the loss of growth during this time, meaning few plants grew. Crops failed, famines followed and more. A LOT of people died. Just a few years later the, possibly, first recorded outbreak of Bubonic Plague swept up through eastern Europe and the Middle East, likely as a consequence that the prolonged climate effect of that eruption had upon animal and thus flea migration. Thus the world population was already smaller when the An Lushan revolt took place some 200 years later. The world population hadn't yet recovered enough. Not meant to minimise the horror of it, just give context for why it took such a toll on the world population in comparison to other conflicts.
I'm not so sure on some of this data. It says 20 million for american indians but most estimates place it around 4 million. i'm more inclined to believe the 4 million just because i don't think the native americans were ever that densely populated.
please note: about between 1/3 to half soviet soldiers were captured by Germany and then killed in death camps, USSR also captured German soldiers in approx the same numbers, but didn't kill them intent and massively this is why USSR got so many military losses
The 1 gun to 2 men rule for the USSR isn't a general rule - at times during the battle of Stalingrad and Leningrad this rule was implemented when supply problems were particularly dire, but the Soviet industrial base was MASSIVE, and only grew larger during the war. For most of the conflict they were well armed and equipped, but a lot of their equipment was outdated at the start of the war, and the loss of tanks, weaponry and other equipment in the first two years of the war did put the USSR in a tough spot, to put it lightly. The most incredible thing about the Russian industrial base was that when the German army was advancing across the western expanse of the USSR, now Belarus and Ukraine, Stalin's government implemented an evacuation of the west of the country, relocating over SIXTEEN MILLION people and FIFTEEN HUNDRED large industrial factories hundreds of miles eastward to keep them safe and allow them to keep running for the war effort in just 6 months. The sheer collective organisation required to pull off such a madlad move is staggering, and impresses me to this day. PS: 20m dead by the Indian Removal Act is the US government estimate, to cover their own asses and insist the Native Americans were not that big a deal, or didn't have much civilization before white Europeans arrived. In recent years the death toll has been estimated as closer to 150 million dead.
In world war 2 in Russia every family lost they loved one... sons, husbands, fathers, mothers, daughters.. That's why we are still calibrating the end of this war.... Every year. We give them what they deserve... We give them their moment of pride. Every year I read this one story that was written in 1942 or so An old man was always telling the kids one story. - Hey kids - Hello sir, can you tell us about your sons? - Of course I can! - Is this true that they was in Berlin? - True - But have could they did this if they were in tanks and got shot? - They got out and go to a Berlin - But where are they now? - In brother grave. With all of sons of Soviet Union.
Germany is always the focus on the civilian atrocities but the Japanese were just as brutal. There’s a very long but great podcast called “Super nova in the east” by Dan Carlin that covered the entire history of the war from the Japanese perspective.
Russian troubles are basically GOT heir wars Everyone wanted to be tzar, there were like four Dmitry-pretenders and a lot of fighting Thats when Rurik dynasty (that originated from Rurik - a viking, or as they were called in Rus' - varyag) ended and Romanov dynasty began In russian it's called Smuta or Smutnoye vremya and could be translated as "unshure" or "troubled" times
Are you stupid? WW2 Killed Millions of civilians in 6 years. Not Even the cold war Killed so many in 40 years and they were war and conflicts everywhere.
But we prevailed. And I, as a Pole and a European, am proud of my ancestors who fought bravely. Russia has never ceased to be an enemy. They never gave up and are starting to act again.

As an American who went to high school in the 1980s, I remember how shocked I was to learn how many Russians died and to find out they were the ones that really took the wind out of the Germans. Most of the WW2 movies made it look like the US won the war almost single-handedly.
Not fully a lie, bc of military suppor that US send to others. Without a help from US USSR would most likely have lost the war. Many people think that tanks helped win the war, but everyone forgets that more than 70% of the USSR's trucks were delivered under lend-lease from America. Military infrastructure has always been a problem for Russia and later for the USSR and even in the current war.
@@BlackJackSincroknight military aid and loan from the USA to the USSR was less than 12% of the total costs spent by the then USSR on the war. At the same time, several American companies supported Hitler personally throughout the war, among them was H. Ford, who supported the Nazis even before the start of the war. The USA fought against Hitler and at the same time did business with him, capitalists like money even if it is bloody and this is still true today, while the seeds of all wars after the end of World War II can be found in American politics.

My grandmother survived the siege of Leningrad. She passed away this year at the age of 99.
Hitler and the Nazis considered Poles and Russians "subhuman". The civilian deaths weren't collateral damage it was a design feature
The Katyn massacre mentioned in relation to the Poles was carried out by the Russians. Stalin had the Polish elite killed there so that they lacked the intelligence to offer effective resistance. Many Poles also died in the subsequent occupation by Stalin because Poles and Russians hated each other even before that.
The Poles were not deliberately killed like the Jews. Rather, they were forced into slave labor. If they were used in factories, the risk that they would die was high. If they were used in agriculture, they probably survived. And among the dead civilians, many are Jews who were deliberately killed. Poland had one of the largest Jewish communities in Europe.

In two months, the USSR evacuated 1,760,000 people from Leningrad by train, because there were no other ways to get to Moscow, all the cars were used for military needs. At that time, 4.5 million people lived in Leningrad and the Leningrad region. Therefore, what is said in the video about the Gulag in Leningrad is a lie.
Because Stalin ordered the evacuation, they were not send to gulags. What the video says is when civilians were ordered NOT to evacuate from a town or city but still did, then they were send to gulags.

@@lucgonzo Not sure. My great granfather had 7 older brothers. He was consripted in 1942 and he was the only one to return. His father died, his all brothers died. It was not just someone died in each family. Some regions of USSR were under extreme consription into the army, others were extensively bombed or under occupation. The only regions that were safe had low population.
Another fact is that if a soviet soldier got captured by Nazis they could not return to home right after the war. Soviets set filtration camps to jail those who surrendered to Nazis during the war. Everyone was suspected of collaborating with Nazis. After the filtration those found not guilty were free to return to what left of their families

As a Russian, it really gets under my skin when people say that the US won, instead of Russia.I am not opposed to the idea that the United States also played a role in the victory, although perhaps not as significant as Russia's. However, in its propaganda, the United States claims that it was the victor, while Russia merely stood aside.
Pre WWII Soviet Union had a population of 152 Million give or take. Post WWII Soviet Union had a population of 133 Million and they have never really fully recovered from that, an entire generation was wiped out in that war on all fronts. Former Yugoslavia surrendered quickly but everyone kept their guns, a few months after the partisan's began to form and harass German and Italian supply lines, as a result, Germany empowered the Croatian Ustashe black shirts to cleanse Yugoslavia of undesirables and they proceeded to eliminate about a million people between 39' and 45' hence the high post-war casualties.
How do you know this figure of 133 million? The first post-war census in the USSR was not conducted until 1959. No one really knows how many citizens of the USSR died in WW2. Some historians put the number at 30 to 50 million. Now it's officially recognised as 27 million. The archives are still closed.
Don't talk nonsense before the war the population was 293 million

@@Pomelae nope, before the war it was 192-193mils, in 1917 Russian Empire had 178s mils approx
10:30 The "two men; one rifle" thing is a commonly parroted myth propagated by pop culture, based on a misunderstanding: The Soviet army suffered material shortages at the outset of the invasion. It didn't _literally_ send hordes of unarmed soldiers into German machine guns and hope for the best like in Enemy at the Gates.
You can see on the graph that the bulk of Soviet casualties were from the early stages of the war when the Soviet army was least organized, least mechanized, more akin to a peasant army. The high casualties there are partly Stalin's failure; he repeatedly refused to believe Germany was going to invade so soon and had a mental breakdown as soon as it happened, which caused delays in command, leading to disorganized retreats and mass encirclements. For months, the Nazis waged an almost unopposed war of annihilation (Hitler's words) against the retreating civilian population and POWs.
Oh this duality of history, from one side ,crazy paranoid(funny fact ,even with how popular this is, there is no factual proof its true, but i kinda think its true) dictator who maybe not shoot ALL victims of Great Purge ,but definetly start it as phenomen and didnt reduce its consequences and the one who wasnt really good(was really bad) at being generalissimo
And on the other hand ,ruler who with Iron fist bend country who withstand land axis assault and was able to end War in Berlin
It being solely Stalin's failure is kinda a myth as well, one born out of personality cult (just a negative side of a personality cult). He had a government, ministers and other small fries handling all kinds of things. And they did pretty well on their civilian part by evacuating factories east before the invasion started and ramping up military production. The red army command, especially low ranking officers were kinda crap at their job, because they had almost no education and experience. And with a German army that was veteran from private to general at this point - you just make one mistake and it's joever. And these people made mistake after mistake. Until they learned. The ones that didn't die. Thankfully they had a lot of land and people to trade for that military wisdom they gained...
Red army was as much of a peasant army as a French one, since they had at least as many tanks facing Germans as France had in 1939. Were those tanks shit? Oh yes they were. But that at least puts things into perspective. When no one is prepared for Germans, then who's to blame? Just like when everyone failed a test at your class, then what's the point of singling out someone who scored 3rd.
Its good to know that people exist, that know history and teach others about it. Stalin as a leader was no different to western leaders in terms of cruelty, especially not someone like Churchill for example. Unfortunately people always need an enemy so they can live an easy life knowing they are the good guys
Its stalin failure?rly? Maybe it's japanese civillians fail that they died from USA nuclear terror act?
@@dominikmagnus It also feels quite surreal. You don't see many people cursing Ignacy Mościcki for the fall of Poland and the death camps the Germans set up. Imagine a scenario in which the Soviet Union had not survived Operation Barbarossa and the Nazi occupation exterminated its soldiers, a large part of the rural population, and almost its entire urban population like it had intended (over 50 million people from urban areas alone) to make room for mass industrial reinvestment, and pop historians a century later were still blaming the disaster on the Soviets' unwillingness to surrender, rather than the colonial, genocidal ambitions of the Nazi state.

This the Enlightenment arc
In the USSR, 95 percent of the military went to war voluntarily; many teenagers from 17 years old signed up as volunteers because there was not enough fresh strength at the front and losses were also caused by the fact that at the beginning of the invasion, Germany took the USSR by surprise and military units were bombed in the first hours of the war and was house and soldiers died without even having time to take up weapons, and Germany was superior to the USSR in military technology
Many did go voluntarily but 95% is a massive exaggeration. Other things you said are correct but the main reason for ridiculous number of causalties beside unreadiness is incompetence of Soviet generals. If your only tactical thought is constant human wave attacks against strong enemy positions you are bound to get slaped around like Soviets were until Stalingrad. Honestly if USSR would have a semi competent leader instead of Stalin those causalties could be reduced by half
@@amberanubis8336there was no human waves, they was facking defending ,its not just historic myth ,its simply unlogical
Of course not every soviet general was genius ,but saying its THEIR bad desicion is crazy
There was shit ,by allready mentioned Stalin, like holding Kiev and so on, which result in ~660k encircle
But you instead blame him as bad LEADER, which wrong too, cruel? Paranoid? Maybe and actually most likely . Bad? NO ,if it was someone else country wouldn't withstand even summer of 1941 nor from industry perspective(rapid industrialization and five year ,plans) nor from spirit)ideological side(communist(as idea), socialism in one country(as "project" ) promotion, and of course cult of personality)
voluntarily my ass)))))
as russian i gonna tell you there is no fricking way majority od people were going there voluntarily. as i remember from grandpa he told me about his father(my grandgrandpa), they were confused about war, cause soviet union invaded poland and finland, so people knew that soviet union started ww2 along with germany, it wasnt just bad germany.
he was soviet solder and got captured in 1942. he said it wasnt bad working for germans as prisoner, he said he was treated as human and if we compare it to how soviet union treated own citizen was much worse then being prisoner in germany.
when in 1945 he was released by soviet army they sent him home for some short time and then to soviet concentration camp till 1948 for getting captured by germans in 1942. grandgrandpa said it was worst years of his life, grandma said that grandgrandpa lost much weight in soviet concentration camp and got back with mental problems.
so what we got from my grandpa story. that history is written by victors. soviet and allies won so they write history books about how bad were germans and how absolutely good where soviets and allies.
i am not justifying what germans did i just pointing that all sides of war where fucked up. in video it said all fighting sides including usa and uk where using human shields.

It's wild how some people are still spreading the myth of 1 soldier getting a rifle and the 2nd one getting ammo, that's seen in the movie Enemy at the Gates as if it were historical fact...
The reason Soviets lost so many people is that early in the war they were caught totally off guard and Germans were waging a war of genocide against the Slavic people in the east. They were encircled and captured in massive amounts (literally millions) and obviously would not survive the imprisonment.
Later in the war (about after Stalingrad) they were trading deaths with the Germans about equally.
Hollywood is very good a spreading propaganda... Also the lies about shooting retreating soldiers like in enemy at the gates. No that didn't happen.
I mean, there were shortages of equipment in the Red Army at various times. And while calling it a norm throughout the entire war might be excessive, there were definitely plenty of cases where some soldiers were sent to fight without rifles or submachine guns, tho they could've been given a sidearm, or grenades or whatever was at hand.
I dont think there was a single encirclemant with million casulties
Even the Kiev one had less than 3/4 of milion
But yeah point stands

The USSR had about 180 million people in 1941 (start of German invasion). This includes lands occupied in 1939-40. Total losses between 1941 and 1945 are 27,000,000. That is more than Germany’s, UK’s, USA’s, and Poland’s losses combined, with more lives remaining
41.8 mln
@@rustemzakirov5733 ? If you mean that USSR lost that many, then their is a debate still going on, but the majority consensus is >26.5 million people (rounds to 27 million). If you mean Germany+Poland+USA+UK, then it is 8 mil+6mil+400k+400k which is 14-15 million people dead.
Нет в России и в Украине семьи такой, которая не потеряла родных.

as a german i am surprised, by how little we were tought in school about the war, i mean we did learn a whole lot about the holocaust, but the frontlines were merely discussed, and if only the western battles such as d-day or the battle of the bulge, i'm really disappointed that we learnt nothing about the autrocities on the eastern front besides the unaliving of jews, that we didn't learn who we even fought in africa, and that there was never explained how and why there was a scandinavian front. The only thing we did learn besides all of that, were the atomic bombs, but only to a reference for the now still ongoing ukrainian war.
Please be aware that I graduated the so called 'Realschule' about a year ago, and that I can't speak for every school in germany, just the school I was attending. And also i don't mean to harm anyone by this, I just liked to say my opinion on the internet once.
Thank you for reading.
Thats how most education system in world work
They from the start wasnt made to enlighten anyone
I'm from germany too and we did learn about all this at school in the late 80's / early 90's. And i wasn't even at "realschule", only at "hauptschule". It's a shame to not being educated about this, especially as a german.
I mean, if anything the German education model for WW2 seems to be "as long as we are better than Japan in that field"
That's because there isn't enough time in school to go through everything in detail; history lessons have to focus on crucial points. It's no different in other subjects. If something interests you, nobody stops you from looking into it further. Or study it.

Не стоит забывать что в России проживает около 200 народностей, помимо русских, а СССР это не только Россия, но и другие государства. Но всё равно для запада Союз Советских Социалистических Республик это только русские 😢
Ну так даже сейчас - в каждом городе и регионе, кроме кавказа - 80 процентов русских + украинцев беларусов (что одно и тоже) . Народ, который на 80 процентов состоит из русских - ты будешь перечислять каждую нацию в отдельности? Это смешно, как другие ребята хотят сравняться по значимости с теми, кого в десятки раз больше. Убрать из России любую эту народность - как жили так и будут жить. Убрать русских - России не станет
Может Китай тогда тоже не состоит из Китайцев? Я думаю, там есть и американцы, и Албанцы и Бушмены наверное.
Скажу одну вещь, но наверное стоит уточнить, что не с целью принизить другие народы живущие в России. Просто как исторический факт.

I believe its speculated that around 11% of the worlds population died during the mongol invasion
That's bad, but the world population at that time was only a fraction of that of the Second World War.
The Mongol invasion took longer. People were born and growing up again in the meantime. And the empire was huge. The Mongols ruled over a large part of humanity. That meant a lot of deaths spread across the entire empire.
When I grew up in Russia in the 1990s I was brainwashed by TV and at school. They told me that Stalin did not allow cities like Stalingrad and Leningrad to be evacuated.
When I got to university I had an opportunity too read sources and old books from 60s and 70s. If I remember correctly Stalingrad provided transportation for ~1.3 million refugees from the Western part of the country and accommodated hundreds of thousands too. Because the Nazis massacred civilians, many people fled to the east (to Stalingrad too). But the USSR at the time had a minuscule number of cars and trucks. So, the USSR had to use a limited amount of horses and trains it had.
Millions of people were evacuated to Siberia (and the government had to build entire cities for them there) but first and foremost - people from cities in the west because they already had no homes, jobs, clothes, etc. People that lived in Stalingrad and Leningrad were evacuated too but mostly after people that fled to these cities.
So I realized two things:
1) It's very difficult to evacuate half a country from a mass murdering Nazi regime
2) Russian education system in the 90s lied to children on purpose, because it had to taught Russian kids to hate and despise Russia (because Russia was basically occupied by USA)
Ты ещë бы книги написанные при жизни Сталина почитал - вообще бы молился на его портрет.
Честно говоря, звучит очень шизофренически. Кто, когда отрицал что эвакуацию мирного населения из Сталинграда проводили?
С Ленинградом сложнее. Когда было ещë можно - еë не провели. Когда уже было необходимо - стало слишком поздно (и в целом тяжело).
И да, не дай Бог ты почитаешь литературу про то, что ужасающего голода в Блокаду можно было избежать (или как минимум сильно снизить его масштабы).
Про запасы фуража для лошадей, про непосредственно лошадей приписанных к фронту. Про пайки номенклатурных работников и спец. магазины.
Вообще наверное голова взорвëтся.
Если суммировать - всë просто. Задачи накормить всë мирное население в Ленинграде, в условиях голода, не стояло.

@@frfrough7088нам легко делать выводы, уже анализируя по факту, живя в эпоху информационных технологий, и то практика войны на Украине показывает, что даже сейчас эвакуация не всегда возможна, а ты говоришь про многомиллионный город в 1940-ых... Куда им ехать, где жить, страна в хаосе, потеряны огромные территории, куча всяких коллаборационистов и предателей.

А чтобы избавиться от оккупации - надо всë национализовать! При чëм без компенсаций! Вот это наш твëрдый коммунистический ответ наглым буржуям.
Ага. И очень эффективно, кстати!
Но к сожалению получается что Ленин не был коммунистом, потому что признавал необходимость концессий. А прибыль, которую иностранные буржуи извлекали себе в карман, составляла до 500-600%.
Вот уж точно оккупация.
Конечно, бесполезно даже и говорить про рабочие места, технологии и налоги.
Оккупация, баста!
Бтв, чел говорил о политической "оккупации" и промывании мозгов, подчинении США, вот это всë.

Решительно не понимаю, что же вам, коммунистам, не нравится.
@frfrough7088 политическая оккупация - это то же самое - твои заводы работают на дядю Сэма, а не на тебя, капитал вывозит за границу местная буржуазия. Что не нравится? Что заводы принадлежат не стране, а частникам, которые в свою очередь вывозят капитал в буржуйстаны в свой личный карман, а не в казну. Что нет общественной собственности на средства производства. Политическая оккупация на то и нужна, чтоб потом нововоспитанные несли капитал в метрополию, а не в свою казну.
Рабочие места? Технологии? Где они? За 30 лет буржуйского существования с частной собственностью своего почти ничего, "бывший чекист-номенклатурщик" - такой же буржуй, как и тот что сидит в Белом Доме и Конгрессе, такой же как и те, что проплачивают политику США в Иране, скажем, типа T-Mobile, Pepsi и Lockheed Martin. То что, скажем, Сталин был в церковно-приходской школе, священником его не сделает.
So remember that
Whenever you call someone a nazi or hitler simply because you feel offended just remember how many people were killed because of him and his cronies
But definitely call them out if they are starting to become like them. Remember, Hitler and the Nazis were around for almost a decade before they started the war. Germany let them happen. It could happen again. The signs are pretty clear.
@@elbruces Responsibility for the deaths in Yugoslavia largely lies with the Italian fascists (and nationalistic Croatians). And they very central-left.

“Everybody died.” I take care of my grandmother. Born 1922. She fled the Philippines as young lady with my grandfather who lost all his brothers fighting the Imperial Japanese invasion.

Basically we can thank Russia for expending most of Germanys supplies and troops. The Brits for holding Germany off until momentum swung. The Americans for bringing in fresh troops and supplies to change the momentum of the war. Australia for doing much more than anyone could have hoped considering how far removed they could have been.

The fact that Stalin deliberately did not save Leningrad is complete nonsense.
Leningrad is the most important ideological center. Any delay in saving it is unacceptable and could lead to the destruction of the city.
No matter how you feel about Stalin, you cannot say that he was stupid.
The city's supplies passed through Ladoga, and this is an extremely dangerous lake, transporting people across it would have been deadly.
The only way to save the city was to retake it, which is what the Red Army did.
The video did not say Stalin deliberately didn't save Leningrad. It said that he deliberately (and not just at Leningrad) refused to organize the evacuation of civilian population of endangered areas.

@@alikhanzakonov5575 The Germans reached Riga by the end of June, and at that point it was clear that Leningrad is endangered. The siege began in September. And while some people were evacuated during the month in between, there was no concentrated effort to facilitate a large scale evacuation, which is why most civilians remained in the city. Even after that, the encirclement wasn't full, and many people did manage to escape throughout the siege. The point is that during that one and a half month when it was clear the Germans are coming for the city, no appropriate measures were taken to evacuate it. And while to a degree that may be attributed to the overall chaos, it's also true that Stalin had no real desire to push for the evacuation. And Leningrad is only one among many examples of that kind of thing.

I will add one more thing about the evacuation. That the special wish of the ghoul Stalin has nothing to do with it. And why weren't other cities evacuated entirely, including in Europe? And the Soviet ones that fell under occupation. And why wasn't Paris evacuated, or any other city on the path of the Wehrmacht army? And in today's wars, why aren't all the residents taken out even when the evacuation is announced and carried out? And even for war goals? There is only one answer - it is very difficult. There is not enough time or other resources.
British india death is showing extremely decreased numbers. Bengal famine of 1770 alone killed 10 million people. There are more than 10 famines throughout British rule in india.

Feminism, and woke bs genocided more white population to be honest...
A lot of the civilian deaths in the Philippines also came from the U.S. When it was occupied by Japan, the US planes firebombed the occupied territories, killing Japanese soldiers and Filipino civilians alike. An estimated 100,000 Filipino civilians died because of U.S. air raids. It was an incorporated territory of the U.S. at that time (like Puerto Rico’s status,) but they never considered Filipinos as “Americans” so they didn’t care who their bombs fell on. That’s why the Allies may think they were on the right side of WW2, but for the countries who were just demolished, there was no right side. It was a battle between two monsters and either one didn’t care who they trampled on.
Americans killed Asian civilians because they didn't care if they died or not. Japanese wanted to kill majority of non-Japanese (including Filipinos). I would say that it was worse because if the Japanese had won, they would have killed most Filipinos and made the survivors slaves.

(Kingdom of) Yugoslavia developped not one but two full blown resistance militias - the Soviet backed communist Partisans and monarchist Chetniks (remnants of the defeated army)...which not only fought Germans but primarily each other. There was also a Nazi puppet state in Croatia with it's own military that fought other resistance groups (and ran extermination camps for fellow Yugoslavians, Serbs and Jews primarily).

In the inter war period, he repeatadly claimed that Germany didn't really loose WW1, but that they were "stabbed in the back" by a global Jewish conspiracy. So he blamed them for Versailles, and many more things on top of that as well.
where is the One Piece Fan Letter reaction RAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
People in Yugoslavia are a different kind of people, they don't surrender if the government surrenders.(Inat) Spite💪
WWII was horrific and brutal. You want a taste of the hell they went through, play Call of Duty World at War on Veteran difficulty. The difficulty screen straight up says you will not survive.
Lmao 😂😂😂 that is the most brain dead take I have ever seen.
"If you want to understand the hell war is, go play this famously unrealistic game that is purposefully developed as pro war propaganda"
bro said play a video game
Bro video games depicting war are not at all realistic. Not even world at war.
Dude. Buckle up tight this is gonna be a rough ride. Follow the chat suggestions on other world history and differences videos. Even the harshly titled ones. Having watched hundreds of these reactions my advice for the journey to come is to deliberately slow down in each video and pay attention to every sentence as it's going to come at you thick and fast and a lot of important information can easily be missed. You have the oppertunity to learn a lot with these other country type reactions.
One piece fan letter??
More than 50 million civilians died during the Great Leap Forward of China(1959---1961) Starvation and diseases.
I hate when you Americans are calling soviet union Russia, I am armenian and we lost 300.000 people during WW2 when they were only 5mil. Armenians living in soviet union, calling it Russia, means that those armenians or other nations that lived and fought in soviet union didn't exist
1)Что ты от него хочешь? Они думают что 1 винтовка на двоих - правда. 2) Тебе обидно что потеряли Армяне 300к из 5 лямов. А мне обидно что убийство 12+ млн советских ГРАЖДАНСКИХ и 8+ млн военных забываются, и остальной мир не понимает почему мы празднуем 9 мая, но все помнят про 6 млн евреев и холокост. Хотя геноцид был и в отношении советских граждан и особенно славян. И да, советую свергнуть пашиняна, а то закончите как украина =\
Considering the An Lushan happened in the roughly mid 700s CE, it's understandable that such a huge percentage of the world population died in it. Year 536 CE was the most destructive year in human history as far as we can calculate and have sources for. (I don't know if we have any sources to help us estimate the impact of 536 on the Americas though.) There was an eruption (possibly 3 total) that spewed out so much debris into the atmosphere that it caused the majority of the northern hemisphere to experience loss of sun for about 1.5 years and temperature drops severe enough for snow to fall in summer (in China). Tree rings from this year have witnessed of the loss of growth during this time, meaning few plants grew. Crops failed, famines followed and more. A LOT of people died. Just a few years later the, possibly, first recorded outbreak of Bubonic Plague swept up through eastern Europe and the Middle East, likely as a consequence that the prolonged climate effect of that eruption had upon animal and thus flea migration. Thus the world population was already smaller when the An Lushan revolt took place some 200 years later. The world population hadn't yet recovered enough. Not meant to minimise the horror of it, just give context for why it took such a toll on the world population in comparison to other conflicts.
I'm not so sure on some of this data. It says 20 million for american indians but most estimates place it around 4 million. i'm more inclined to believe the 4 million just because i don't think the native americans were ever that densely populated.
please note: about between 1/3 to half soviet soldiers were captured by Germany and then killed in death camps, USSR also captured German soldiers in approx the same numbers, but didn't kill them intent and massively
this is why USSR got so many military losses
The 1 gun to 2 men rule for the USSR isn't a general rule - at times during the battle of Stalingrad and Leningrad this rule was implemented when supply problems were particularly dire, but the Soviet industrial base was MASSIVE, and only grew larger during the war. For most of the conflict they were well armed and equipped, but a lot of their equipment was outdated at the start of the war, and the loss of tanks, weaponry and other equipment in the first two years of the war did put the USSR in a tough spot, to put it lightly.
The most incredible thing about the Russian industrial base was that when the German army was advancing across the western expanse of the USSR, now Belarus and Ukraine, Stalin's government implemented an evacuation of the west of the country, relocating over SIXTEEN MILLION people and FIFTEEN HUNDRED large industrial factories hundreds of miles eastward to keep them safe and allow them to keep running for the war effort in just 6 months.
The sheer collective organisation required to pull off such a madlad move is staggering, and impresses me to this day.
PS: 20m dead by the Indian Removal Act is the US government estimate, to cover their own asses and insist the Native Americans were not that big a deal, or didn't have much civilization before white Europeans arrived. In recent years the death toll has been estimated as closer to 150 million dead.
In world war 2 in Russia every family lost they loved one... sons, husbands, fathers, mothers, daughters..
That's why we are still calibrating the end of this war.... Every year.
We give them what they deserve... We give them their moment of pride.
Every year I read this one story that was written in 1942 or so
An old man was always telling the kids one story.
- Hey kids
- Hello sir, can you tell us about your sons?
- Of course I can!
- Is this true that they was in Berlin?
- True
- But have could they did this if they were in tanks and got shot?
- They got out and go to a Berlin
- But where are they now?
- In brother grave. With all of sons of Soviet Union.
Putting uneducated in front of american is redundant.
Dang rude
Germany is always the focus on the civilian atrocities but the Japanese were just as brutal. There’s a very long but great podcast called “Super nova in the east” by Dan Carlin that covered the entire history of the war from the Japanese perspective.
“Uneducated American” lmao
whatever gets the views coming ig lol
Honestly he couldve just said "american" and still achieve the same effect.
@@Courier_Sevenso edgy
@@DefenestrateYourselfnot edgy but ok
@@DefenestrateYourselfas you can see from his reaction, he is indeed uneducated. So not edgy, just fact
9:05 the most shocking part of the video tbh... It just would not stop rising...
Russian troubles are basically GOT heir wars
Everyone wanted to be tzar, there were like four Dmitry-pretenders and a lot of fighting
Thats when Rurik dynasty (that originated from Rurik - a viking, or as they were called in Rus' - varyag) ended and Romanov dynasty began
In russian it's called Smuta or Smutnoye vremya and could be translated as "unshure" or "troubled" times
I think its too straight up translation
Dark time is way more fitting and elaborated translation
Keep up the RUclips reactions ‼️ Lemino and wendigoon have some good videos to react to
Now let’s have look at a graph of civilian death in Middle East of this year.
Baby sized
Are you stupid? WW2 Killed Millions of civilians in 6 years. Not Even the cold war Killed so many in 40 years and they were war and conflicts everywhere.
20:34 what the british did in India? you need to know this. watch: The Unmaking of India: How the British Impoverished the world's Richest Country
20:35 If you are curious about what the British did in India I recommend the video The Unmaking of India by the channel Odd Compass
Check out what Indian men used to do to their wives too.
Looks like life's gonna get tough for Hei for 6 months
But we prevailed. And I, as a Pole and a European, am proud of my ancestors who fought bravely. Russia has never ceased to be an enemy. They never gave up and are starting to act again. Europe is ready to attack along with non-European allies.
Heisuten, could you react to short video about Poland during WWII? It's called THE UNCONQUERED / Niezwyciężeni. I think you gonna like it. It's epic and heroic.
I mean, of course there was polish opposition but... You owe your existence to russians
No one cares.
Живешь со взглядом на мир - "Вот он хороший, а вот они плохие"? Ваш европейский режим - лишь способ сохранить власть и богатство определенных кругов людей (вас в это посвящать естественно никто не собирается). Если бы Россия была вассалом Европейского Союза - то вы бы воевали против Китая и Индии, и вам бы рассказывали, что они ваши враги.
Касаемо что Россия начала действовать - ты не знаешь причин начала войны и думаешь, что весь мир - это справедливость, рыцари и доброта. Вы такие же как и мы, только с другой стороны. Святых здесь нет. На нашем веку люди не научаться жить мирно
6 month hiatus got bro getting educated instead.
saying "don't know which one that's referring to" to the 30 year war is crazy
Is it called anything else? Because my history class... was all out of a book and it was random.
@@SmokeDrake nah thats literally it's name
There was even a 100year war (1337 - 1453)
My grandpa was a soldier in WWII. He was part of D-Day, and landed on Utah beach.
