ONE DAY in Stalingrad (Volgograd), Russia ☭🇷🇺
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 ноя 2022
- In this video, I visit Volgograd City (formerly Stalingrad between 1925-1961) for one day during my recent solo journey, travelling 4,000 km across Western Russia.
Volgograd, formerly Stalingrad, is a city in southwest Russia, on the western bank of the Volga River. It was the site of WWII’s Battle of Stalingrad, commemorated by a huge statue, The Motherland Calls, part of the hilltop Mamayev Kurgan memorial complex.

Yes, there was the most brutal battle here, a meat grinder on both sides. Stalingrad is the turning point in the war. France surrendered in 28 days. During the same time, the Germans in Stalingrad were only able to cross from one side of the street to the other side.
18:31in the face of this monument, the features of General Chuikov, who led the defense of Stalingrad, are guessed, but everyone denies this, although the similarity is obvious.
I take my hat off to the sculptors - the images are impressive and no words are needed here.
Merci pour le partage de cette vidéo qui nous amène sur des lieux hautement historiques de la sanglante bataille de Stalingrad. Félicitations aux autorités russes de continuer à préserver et commémorer cet endroit. 🙏
God Bless.
Thanks for posting. The Mamaev Kurgan has been in my bucket list for several years. Thanks for showing so many historic sites.
Thank you and you’re welcome ☺️ you should definitely visit.
ALL the world must to thanks to Russia for what he make it for us
Stalingrad is on my bucklist! What a beautiful, moving place. We have much to be thankful for for their sacrifice.
Thanks for watching.
I definitely recommend ticking it off your bucket list.
You are so right my Friend God Bless.
You are brave and independent person that you have decided to travel to so important places for all Russians people to show the real life as it is. I found few mistakes in your comments to buildings, not all of them are Soviet :) many are more or less quite modern. I would even help you with determination if you would need any )
I hope one day the Western world will make peace with Russia. However we are ruled by imbeciles with a strange kind of ideology I don't fully understand yet. I have never hated Russians and I have absolutely no idea why people in the west do.
I'm sorry for what we are doing.
Много городов в России я видела но к сожалению не была в Волгограде. Город-герой. Спасибо Вам огромное за видео. Ведь там творилось дальнейшее будущее. Низкий поклон погибшим ♨️
It’s a beautiful city.
@@AussieSpy Постараюсь навестить Город-Герой. Ещё раз спасибо за Ваши video👍
Пожалуйста 🙃
Pavlov's house held the defense for 58 days, and for a year
Russia is a great nation ❤❤❤
Thank you
Spasibo and thank you so much from Sydney, Australia. I would love to come check out the city at winter where it was an arena for the very epic battle and just in case, I can say I’ve been there by seeing the video
Thanks ☺️ I appreciate your comment.
Best video ever that I have watched on Volgograd ! Thank you
Wow, thanks!
It was just too short 😅
Very interesting video👍
Thank you
That's my city! I miss it so much, I haven't been there for a year. Thanks for the video.
О, привет, а ты с какого района?
Thank you for your video! It's great city. Keep going!
Great video! Thanks a lot🙏🙏🙏
I will go to visit this beautiful city that I have read about from books. The city that changed the history of the world.
Good video ...showing the forgetful world the importance of this place..check Vk for the painting of the Motherland statue.. Good luck .. i hope to return some day🙃
Право быть в почетном карауле распределяется по всем школам Волгограда и это честь стоять на площади Павших Борцов. Я училась в школе с 1991 по 2000 - до нашей школы в те годы не дошло право представлять нашу школу. И только в 2017 ( могу ошибаться, но вроде так) моя школа, старшеклассники стояли в Почетном Карауле.
За 17 лет - 20 лет предоставляется право быть на Площади Павших Борцов перед Вечным Огнём почётным караулом.
Это величайшая честь.
Право представлять свою школу в Почетном Карауле идет по кругу
- за более чем 25 лет это право было предоставленной моей школе.
И это впечатляет.

Спасибо вам за то, что поделились. Это было бы честью.
Great film Australian mate. Greetings from Greece 🇬🇷
Thanks Alex. I appreciate it
Stalingrad is where the German Nazi army was broken, with the lives of the Russian people. Volgograd, should be a pilgrimage for all Europeans..where they can give thanks for their freedom. It ws good to see the Russians have preseved with dignity the memory of such sacrifice.
Большинство европейцев были в составе тех кого разбили. И паломничество это будет скорее скорбным к месту " где у них не получилось"
Totally agree
Thanks for this.
You’re welcome. Thanks for watching
Enjoyed this. Thank you.
Thanks for watching
To go into battle knowing that the odds of surviving are against you and those sending you don't care what happens to you has got to feel like a death sentence. Yet they went, a testament to the human will sense of duty and bravery. God bless their souls.
You either got shot by the Germans or your own people if you didnt ..... They hardly had a choice in a war between the two greatest Tyrannys in History
Most of the generals did care about their men, stop parroting western propaganda
The Russians, in fact, had no choice. The Germans did not come to take prisoners, but to destroy. My grandfather’s entire family was burned alive in their own house. My other great-grandfather died at Stalingrad. When there was a German air raid, he ran to the stables so that the horses had a chance to escape; his commander tried to stop him, but it didn’t work. Both the horses and my great-grandfather died. A few years later, this commander traveled halfway across the country to my great-grandmother to tell me how it all happened. You in the West have no idea what kind of war it was.
Thank you so much!!
You’re welcome
well done great vid
Thank you ☺️
This seems to be a very interesting place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much! And please keep up the great job! Subscribed!!
Thanks. I appreciate your feedback!
Definitely come to visit Russia and Volgograd also. It's amazing.
wow so much interesting things in Volgograd, thanks for showing us what we can see there
You’re welcome and thanks for watching.
Loved your video!! greetings from Chile!!
Thank you so much!!
The Russian people paid a heavy price to defend this beautiful City, we will never forget.
Lest we forget
Thank you very much.Peace
well done real job, e@@AussieSpy
Great video
Thanks!
So eine schöne Stadt, vor allem die Wolga und die tollen Menschen vor Ort.❤ Lieben Dank, dass ich dort eine schön Zeit hatte. Ich komme auf jeden Fall wieder. 😊
Very interesting, historical.
Прикольно! Я живу в Волгограде и в первые вижу человека из другой страны!
I’ve often wondered what Stalingrad looks like today and now I know. Millions died there and many are still missing in unknown graves. Such an appalling waste of human life.
True, but every war is waste of life.
Thank you
❤
Thank you Russia
Американцы считают что Сталинградской битвы не было. Что они победили Германию.
@@user-rj1sd3wi5twell they certainly helped bombing German industry, and oil production facilities. Supplying aid to Russia in the form of food, trucks and Jeeps.
Shows you how bad the battle was for this city with so many momorials.
مدينة البطوله.. تستحق التقدير والاحترام وللشعب الروسي الذي ضحا ب ٢٨ مليون انسان
I tried looking up how many names were on that long black wall in this military cemetery which I take to be soldiers who died in the battle without luck.
Not many people around for such a large city.
According to this site, there are almost 25,000 names in total which are inscribed of those who fell in the Battle of Stalingrad.
Source: mamaev-hill.ru/memorial/military-memorial-cemetery?ysclid=ls1lpozc5w476486087
Yes, It was quiet, most likely because it was on a Friday when I was there and most people would have been at work. I believe it is usually much busier on a weekend or a public holiday.
Thank you for the link. A lot can be see about a people by how they treat their fallen. A great and proud people.
Almost 25,00 in that particular cemetery is a little less than Israel has killed in recent months. Type in +972 AI to see how they are selecting those targets.@@AussieSpy
Красота ! Волгоград прекрасен! Люблю там бывать!!!
Respect!
👍👍👍
Extraordinário.....
díky moc
Thank you.
You're welcome!
nice video
Thanks
Народы которые забыли своего защитника и забыли кого нужно благодарить ,недостойны уважения ,а только презрения,и этих грешников к сожалению очень много.
Beautiful
Thank you
For me Stalingrad brings images of Ed Harris and Jude Law staring down the telescopes on their sniper rifles in Tractor Factory.
Yes, in Enemy at the gates.
Interesting fact about that movie, some Red Army Stalingrad veterans were offended by inaccuracies in the film and how the Red Army was portrayed, in 2001 after the film premiered in Russia, they expressed their displeasure in the State Duma, demanding a ban of the film but their request was not granted.
Saluti dall'Italia ✊
Historic city. Slava sssr
Well I didn’t ask for a speaking tour next time can you be quiet? Also can you tour Kilkenny next? Thanks
I may go again one day. For now I am working and don’t have spare money for travelling and need to focus on my work. But I’ll keep your request in mind when I one day travel again.
This music at the begining gives me strgange feelings but for the foreigners kinda ok. Problem is that manner of performance of this is close to russian prison songs.Well whatever. This young people that try to do prussian step is real shame,I mean if you don't know how to do it-just do not even try because it is one of the hardest type of marching technique in the world good example HOW to do it correct closer to end of video. Well the narration,story and ofc monumets are great , no doubt.
I love how you skip Brestskaya Krepost' (Brest Fortress), it is adorable. :D
Video is wonderful by a lot of aspects,really like calm and leisurely narration with good facts. Bravo!
These young people who march badly are actually schoolchildren. Don't be so strict with them.
@@user-yk4td1yl9u Forced to disagree. Im not against people to march but trying hard to do most difficult marching technique you embarass not only you and people who watch ,but people who train to do it proper for months. Its same if you decided to learn how to play musical instrument in adult age and instead of guitar or piano you choose one of the hardest- violin and pretend that you play great after month. Again prussian step is on of the MOST difficult march technique.
@@TheVellar The Prussian step is the main step in the Russian army. These children are most likely studying in cadet classes or a cadet school. There they study, among other things, the standard Russian ceremonial step. Yes, it's difficult and yes, so far they can't do it. But do not evaluate them as professionals, they are just children and you can forgive them for their inability. They are learning and they have everything ahead of them )
Не болтай о том, в чем не разбираешься.
@@NikZ. Don't tell me what to do and I don't tell you where to go.
In the final tally, America sent its Russian ally the following military equipment:
400,000 jeeps and trucks.
14,000 airplanes.
8,000 tractors.
13,000 tanks.
More than 1.5 million blankets.
15 million pairs of army boots.
107,000 tons of cotton.
2.7 million tons of petroleum products (to fuel airplanes, trucks and tanks).
4.5 million tons of food.
Not to forget the Lend Lease invoice totaling $11.3 billion, or $180 billion in today’s currency, that the Soviets had to pay-back, according to an offical U.S source.

But remembering the needless loss of lives is more important than facts/figures such as these.
Oops. I won't be one of those guys but.....WWII "experts" are going to point out a few small errors. They HATE small errors!
What errors are they exactly?
Beautiful stay at home please
Sure 😊
great video, really feeling USSR ♥
Thanks ☺️
Ministry of Silly Walks?
Impressive buildings and interesting video, thank you. Just curious, have or are you planing to visit places without impressive memorials like the environment of Workuta, forest of Katyn or any firmer KGB prison like the one in Riga?
@aka99 Thanks for your feedback. I appreciate it and am glad you liked the video.
Vorkuta is on my bucket-list and quite possibly a former KGB prison (Gulag). I wouldn't mind finding a former Gulag that has been abandoned. That would be quite interesting.
@@AussieSpy I hope so. Would be interesting to watch too!
@@AussieSpy I was born in Vorkuta, hello to you.
I thought the name reverted back to Volgograd?
I believe the name was changed in 1964 to Volgograd.
Correct. It was. I refer to it as both, but in the video as the main title because I refer to a lot to do with when it was Stalingrad.
Очень странно смотрится серп и молот с власовским флагом
My grandmother's brother was in Stalingrad. He survived the city, but not the russian captivity. I hope he found peace.

Well done. A great country and people who tend to be governed by idiots from its first days
Yes, it is a great country and just as great are its people with a great sense of culture, but I don’t get involved in the political side of things as it’s not any of my business to do so.
@@AussieSpy don’t piss off putin as you may disappear 😂
Since when they had Americans as presidents ?
твое дело маленькое
Автору надо было еще в Россошки смотаться, под Волгоградом, там прикопана вся Европа, которая вторглась к нам, без Россошек тема Волгограда не раскрыта. 8:59 9:02
К сожалению, я пробыл там всего один день. Это даст мне повод вернуться.
@@AussieSpy Россияне не мстят мертвецам. Посетите Россошки, английское кладбище в Севастополе...Вы увидите, как все ухоженно там. Войны начинают политики, а потом матери ищут могилы своих сыновей. Все упокоены
Such a massive waste of lifes,
and the mankind don`t learn from this still today.
Don’t forget the USSR enabled the Germans to invade Poland and start WW2 as well take a share of Poland that they never gave back…Fun fact when Poland surrendered to the German-Soviet invasion Stalin had the Polish diplomats in the USSR shot since “Poland no longer existed”The Polish ambassador was only saved by the German ambassador who gave him sanctuary.
Fun fact, Poland sided with nazi Germany against Czechoslovakia in 1938.
All because Poland did not keep up with the demands of the USSR. The main ultimatum of the USSR was that Poland would not allow Germany to capture Czechoslovakia, since Poland was one of the strongest armies in Europe that could resist Germany. But instead, she helped Germany and even participated in the partition of Czechoslovakia herself, occupying part of the territories. But since there were no plans for allied relations between Germany and Poland, since they are ideological enemies for a number of ethnic groups (Slavs, Jews, Gypsies), the seizure of these territories without the Czechoslovak line of defense was only a matter of time. Well, since Poland could potentially become an enemy of the USSR, its fate was obvious. Therefore, it is very strange to accuse the USSR of destroying the Polish army, when the same army occupied a neighbor, although it was supposed to protect, which violated the treaties of the allies, and even wanted to go against the allies...
@@konstantin070797 man O man is that a stretch..the events were simple. The USSR helped Germany dismember Poland which lead directly to WW2.
@@Dog.soldier1950 Of course it is, well, if you're being stupid. This is equivalent to saying that Hitler occupied neighboring countries because it was beneficial primarily to the population of these countries, and not because Nazi Germany wanted the domination and destruction of nations they did not like... And this is literally what you are trying to tell us, because you are defending the Nazis, who planned the total extermination of the entire people of Poland, because there was no other fate for them, they are Slavs, no matter what faith they were, everything was obvious to the Nazis, they would all have been subjected to genocide (which is what the statistics tell us in concentration camps). And their government's decision to help the Nazis is tantamount to betrayal, especially given the special status and treaties for the protection of Czechoslovakia that they violated... Poland would have been invaded in any case, whether the USSR had helped or not, only in the case of the division of Poland would an additional buffer zone have turned out and the opportunity to gain time to evacuate the population and industry into the depths of the USSR, while Germany staged genocide against the local population, which you are silent about.
Of course, we remember this, as Russia in 1939 took away what it was supposed to under the Versailles Peace Treaty (the Curzon line) and saved 1,500,000 Jews from the Holocaust in Poland. And you, an expert in History, do not forget how Poland captured Kiev in 1920 in violation of the Treaty of Versailles (read the correspondence between Lord Curzon and Pan Pilsudski), how in 1938, together with Hitler, it captured Czechoslovakia. This is a far from complete list of the "good" deeds of peace-loving Poland between 1919 and 1939. By the way, civilized Britain and France guarantee Poland's security. Claims against them.
SADNESS 😩😩😩😩😩😩😩
The great patriotic war was
Yes
Gedday Aussie Spy I went to Volgagrad in 2009 to see all those things that you looked at but the most important is the german war cemetary which you missed.
I did plan to visit that cemetery along with a few other places, but around 15:00 it rained for a couple of hours and it got dark and I was due to leave that evening as I was only there for the day. Definitely will be going back there and I’ll be going to everything on my list of places to go in the city I never got to.
Thanks for watching my video 👍🏼
@@AussieSpy I went by train from Beijing to Moscow then flew to Volgograd stayed there 3 days my prime purpose was to visit a German war cemetery in russia Volgograd was an interesting place to see. That ruined house I thought that it was Paulus's headquarters

Found this channel from a dislike adder review lol
Thanks for finding my channel. If I remember the dislike plugin you could be referring to, it is not at all a reliable plugin. It is completely incorrect. 🙃
@@AussieSpy oh ok lol
Without the RUSSIANS and the other Soviet peoples EUROPE would be speaking German today... - Greetings from Greece 🇬🇷. Thank you RUSSIA.
Just move to Russia its a Nice place freedom off speaking also😂
Without prussians Europe would speak French. Every country can play this game. Fuck Russian pride, always think they are the best without thinking that they didn't had a chance against Germany without England, USA and France
Da comrade
No they would not
Without America's Lend / Lease of Equipment, Supplies and Money to Russia, RUSSIANS would be under German control.
Read a History book my friend . Not trying to take away anything from Russia's contribution and sacrifice, I'm just stating historical facts.
Strange caption:
the name is Volgograd and "Stalingrad" in captions.
It used to be named Stalingrad during the Soviet period and it changes its name back to Stalingrad once a year on May 9. Also, some people still refer to it as its Soviet name.
@@AussieSpy Seldom have I read such nonsense :
first I do know that Stalin had it named like that, don`t lecture me!
second, "it did not change its name", because cities do not have a will, it WAS changed, by humans, you superbrain.
third, what does that have to do with what I wrote ?
Volgograd, St. Petersburg - these are the real names and they should be mentioned first.
Your silly argument would mean that we should write Soviet Union (Russia) because a lot of people would love to have the former back....
I'm sorry you have taken un-needed offence and missed the main theme of the video.
Under your logic, Volgograd should actually be named, Tsaritsyn, it's original name from the 1700's.
Don't drink so much and don't take things out of context and so personally.
#stayoffthealcohol #relaxdamnit 😂
not a good look for a city to have been named after the worlds worst mass murderer, must be rough!
A horrible man on Hitler's level of horrible.
The city is called Volgograd. It used to be called Stalingrad. before that, from Tsaritsyno. It is one of the most ancient cities in Russia.I don't know if I need to explain this to a motherfucker, but I'm going to try anyway.
Feldmarschell Winter helped defeat the Fascists.
Mate if you talk about battle for Stalingrad you terribly wrong and if you talk about Great Patriotic War in general - yeah it helps a bit.
Lol. Why it didnt' help to defeat Russians? That's typcal excuse for nazi generals afte they got kicked from "subhumans". So, Germans got ashamed of that defeat and started to scream about winter and other crap. Germans burnt and entered in Stalignrad in August of 1942. Was it winter? Why they couldn't take Stalingrad in August-December? By the way Winter serioulsy broke All Russian supply lines across Volga River and Russian troops on Right bank were in desperate situation. When Russian sniper killed German top sniper there, did Winter help him?
It only helped a bit.The major struggle was won by men,women and children.
@@AlexanderTch No you don't undertsannd!
-We lost about 30 mlm troops in this war general , including civilians ,combatants and militia. Do you know the reason why we win this war?
-General Winter of course...sipping a pipe he saved us again, son of a bitch.
XD
Это не правда, войну выиграли люди!!!

Are they playing the background music or are you playing it ?
At what part of the video? In the Hall of Military Glory?
Музыкальное озвучивпние создано на площади Павших борцов у вечного огня, на территории памятника Мамаев Кургане и, конечно в Пантеоне у вечного огня
Imagine trying to explain to Russian immigration you have a RUclips channel called “Aussie spy” 😂 the gru is defo’s following you everywhere.
Hahaha.
Интересно, а как ты Мамаев курган фотографировал, его уже продали в частные руки, платить надо за фото.
Unfortunately the assumption that Mamayev Kurgan is under private ownership is incorrect and it is not prohibited taking photos or recording videos. In-fact, The Volgograd administration announced its intention to transfer the territory of Mamayev Kurgan to federal ownership. This is what was officially reported by the press service of the mayor's office. Every year, the federal budget allocates 7-8 million rubles for the improvement of the complex. The management of this institution intends to increase the territory of the complex as part of improvements.
So, basically, it is a site of historical significance, honouring and remembering those who lost their lives in the Battle of Stalingrad (1942-1943) during the Great Patriotic War.
Откуда у вас такая ложная и глупая информация? У меня дед похоронен на Мамаевом Кургане и я там бываю каждый год на 9 мая. И с каждого моего визита у меня десяток фотографий, как и у прочих посетителей этого великого места.
May your grandfather and his comrades who are there, rest in peace and we will always remember them for what they did for us.
