"Let's drink for Stalin" Wasn't he the guy who killed of his entire officer corps, quarreled with his best generals, sent his best generals to Siberia or to the Far East(Vladovstok), killed all the officers and officials in Leningrad after the siege was lifted (because they were a "threat" to him), "relocated" more than 20 different ethnic groups, killed all his political opponents including Trotskij (who was one of the factors the Bolsheviks won the Russian Civil War in the first place), was responsible for millions of deaths due to starvation, and was said even by his own succesors to be a terrible leader. Yeah go ahead and drink to that guy.
Stalins genocide in Ukraine is on the scale of Hitler's holocaust. Stalin cooperated extensively with Hitler, they were likeminded people and they ran their countries similarly. NKVD tought the SS how to efficiently do executions and torture and Stalin and Hitler agreed to divide up Poland between them. Stalin had orphans shot because they were an embarrassment begging on the streets. At its worst there were killings by quota; they did not even bother to establish guilt (for some definition of guilt), they just had random people taken away and shot. As many as 12 000 per day died for starvation and exposure to the elements at the slave camps in Sibera and elsewhere.
***** In Kiev they drink For Bandera who killed 100s of thousands of poles, jews and russians during WW2. So why don't you criticize the current government of Ukraine who see Bandera as a national hero?
Also he's the guy who defeated Nazi Germany, Kwanchung army of Japan and made USSR the greatest Empire after Roman. And yes, at least half of your list is simply not true or has GREATELY exaggerated numbers copypasted from fiction "non-fiction" book by solzhenitsyn.

Every person who I asked about the flag representing slavery said "It's our heritage, not hate". So if I fly a Nazi flag because I have German origins in my family tree, it's okay? How about a Soviet flag? It is JUST history, after all. The U.S. Civil War was such a brief period of time, the ideology of the confederacy should have died when the war ended. It now represents a backwards view of the world. One that upholds the absurd idea that one group of persons should be subservient slaves to another simply because of their color. At least that's what comes to mind when I see the flag. I don't see heritage, I see what ideologies like that cause. When I see idiots fly the Soviet flag, I think Stalin and Mao and the deaths of millions they caused. Those who fly the Soviet flag in Ukraine are IDIOTS.

If you think the Ukrainian Government is corrupt, your not going to get any better with Putin. Russian Government is far more corrupt, and no freedom of speech. State run media.
What do you know about Stalin!? Do not be a zombie, try something to read and learn... Do not fall under the USA propaganda, open your mind and relieve stereotypes!
MaxFist The Holodomor was not only in Ukraine. Russia has suffered, too, the family of my grandmother died almost all in the Volga region. From 2 to 8 million died in the entire USSR, it was not specifically against the Ukrainian people how wants to represent Western propaganda. Read the history books and not shit in your newspapers.
Alex Mercer Not for Russia, but it did for China though Stalin was a monster who starved his people and blacklisted those he didnt like to GULAGS (ever wonder who started those?)
George West if you mean that he killed the most amount of people, then you are wrong, that goes to Mao Zedong (Which is my nickname on steam btw) the communist leader of china from 1949 to the 1970s. He was responsible for 40 - 70 million deaths ...
Stalinist fucks. im sorry but if you revere a genocidal maniac such as stalin, when he wasnt even really the leader of your country when you WERE supposed to like him, you really are an ignorant fool.
you should question why people who were directly affected by him and his policies revere him and why you, who is not connected in anyway, feel the way you do.
Gales99 You're absolutely right. Millions of people died in Gulags, and during collectivisation and ethnic cleansings. But it is a widespread phenomenon that ignorant people see their butch as a Messiah
People still wave the Confederate flag in the south, what the hell is wrong with them? Its not the man that they are praising, its the time period, in remembrance to Russia's past glory and power.
Entertaining America That makes logical sense, but Stalin killed millions of people, especially the Ukrainians, just seems odd they would bring him up in that context. It does make sense though, as World War II was arguably the Soviet Unions finest hour.
$1.99 Happy Meal With Fries Stalin didn't to as much harm to the Ukraine as he did to Russia, but he's praised even more there. It's called propaganda and it's not easily erased from people's heads.
@@mottedreissig7874hahaha you can look up all the journalists that were harrassed and even locked up last year in Russia. You should stop with the mental gymnastics.
I am so glad to find this video to actually show people what happened where I live. Most of these vids were taken down by RUclips. People still believe Ukraine fought actual terrorists back then. And no wonder, people kinda turned into terrorists as the 8-year civil war (anti-terrorist operation) unfolded. And the more weapons and supplies we got from Russia the harder it was to show we're civilian resistance, not Russian army. They say "They are traitors" then kill us until we actually start resisting and they say "Told ya, they are traitors". We tried to talk sense into our own military, but all "negotiations with terrorists" were denied.
Western propaganda shows you pictures from convenient angles.The city hasn't been levelled))Some of it,but not even half of it))And now Russia is succesfully reconstructing it.Mariupol has always been a Russian city.
And now, we have it even worse! Just the bad russians...... but noone cares about the history and the real conflict...... Shame to the western Countries!
The way Russian speaking Ukrainians talk about America and NATO bases just confirms how Putin has successfully brainwashed these people over years with Russian propaganda. Putin has formented all of this.
Because Russia is still intimidating Ukraine despite what they say and can still pull the wrong trigger, they have token over Crimea and why change the name of a series of videos 36 parts in?
StealthyWolf52 Actually no, Putin already covered that pro-Western argument. He understood people are going to complain about Russian "intimidation", so he withdrew his troops from Ukraine's borders and sent them to their rightful places. There are no more excuses now.
For those like me wondering why the ex communists countries celebrates victory day may 9th and not may 8th, it's because the peace was signed a bit before midnight on German time, but it was already may 9th on Moscow time (2 hours difference).
***** May be making a fine point, but it's not accurate to describe Stalin's crimes as "genocidal." I know using that word makes it sound more impressive, but it's just not correct. Anyhow, many people in that part of the world see Stalin as the person who succeeded in leading them, or their recent ancestors, in their struggle against Hitler. Now Hitler DID have actual genocidal intentions in regard to them, and others, and went quite far toward realizing them. Given this, their softer attitude toward Stalin is somewhat understandable.
JuanDeSoCal You a correct. Hitler commited genocide because he killed mainly jews, Stalin didn't commit genocide because he killed everybody. Good guy Stalin, saying "NO" to discrimination. Jokes aside, Stalin is just as big of a murderer (if we take into account numbers, even bigger) as Hitler and cheering for him is just like cheering for Hitler.
MarcianusImperator A lot of people go around, parrot-like, repeating the meme "Stalin killed more people than Hitler" as you just have. But, very few really bother looking into it. I actually did research it some time ago, and although the records are somewhat murky, I reached the conclusion that it is probably not true. Which is not to say Stalin didn't kill a lot of people. He did, and they were primarily those he viewed as his political enemies. The figures were later exaggerated, sometimes to preposterous levels, during the Cold War. This was for general anti-Soviet propaganda purposes, and as a broader effort on the political right to smear the left. It got to the point where figures like 80 million were being thrown out, basically blaming Stalin for every death that occurred for any reason whatsoever during almost the the entire Soviet period. It just goes to show how most people can't be bothered to think for themselves.
overbe In a way, that title makes much more sense than considering them as "peaceful" citizens. But labeling them as terrorists is also too extreme, they are dangerously armed militants.
I guess that only applies to russians? The same happened with albanians in Kosovo but the us and nato hat to support them, how come it now they don't like the same situation but in Ukraine? Crazy western expansionism and capitalism..
***** Yeah, there's one small problem. Current Ukrainian government came to power in spite of the current сonstitution and the law. They are not legitimate and the people in the East of Ukraine do exactly what the people's done a couple of months ago on the Maidan in Kyiv. I do not see the difference. Why is it that you can do in Kiev is impossible in Donetsk? P.S. And Vietnam before the coming of сommunists to power, there was a civil war, or not? Supporters of South Vietnam in it is lost and were forced to surrender. In Ukraine crisis also not yet ended and the people there are still fighting with each other.
"If they want to be part of Russia then why dont they just move into Russia or immigrate there?" That only works when you're talking about some tiny minority. When you want 40% of your population to immigrate to another country, you are just asking for a civil war. Well done, Kiev government.
For 8 years the people of Mariupol suffered under the tyranny of the neo-Nazi Azov Battalion... At the beginning of this year (2022), the truth was fully revealed - according to the testimonies of the city's residents, it was Azov who destroyed their city, hiding heavy military equipment near their houses, occupying the highest floors where they had shooting ranges, shooting (and killing) people who went in search of food, water, or tried to leave the town, setting fire to their houses, raping women, kidnapping people who were tortured in the camp at the airport (many of them are missing), looting apartments, shops... People thank the Russians for finally coming to liberate them, they give them humanitarian aid. But... You will never hear this in the mainstream media of the West.
How idiotic must you be to genuinely believe that that is what happened? You think that Mariupol was razed to the ground by the army trying to DEFEND it? Because Putin can organize a few interviews with a few dozen scared and desperate people, and have a few hired propagandists spread the news?
Believing the idiotic propaganda of an invading dictator... You really think that half a million people on Mariupol has been there since 2014 wanting their city razed to the ground, and to be "saved" by some Kadyrovite fighter? because you saw a few dozen people say that?
Me, being a historian on World War II, upsets me very very much to the point where it makes me weep. I can not express the anger on what these people are saying about World War II. They know nothing about what those men and women went through in those twisted days. Those soldiers were fighting REAL fascism, REAL killers, a REAL war!
So Syria with thousands of civilians dying each day with constant bombing of now they're bombing rubble. Fascism is still very visible with Ukraine Azov battalions ethnic cleansing of fire on the people in Eastern Ukraine. All that isn't a big worry. History repeats unfortunately if we're not careful. No peace since WW2 just more wars or proxy wars to profit the war pigs
That is reality darling Volyn and murderous UPA OUN and other nazi scum...it is not Russian history it is Ukrainian you Ukraine nazi supporting Bandera nobody
In 2018 the mariupol residence voted in a referendum to join donetsk republic with 97% voted to join.. then ukranian decided to pot azov base in mariupol( anti russian battalion)
Ukraine did not hold such referendum... even if it did and even if it was true, after Russians and the dirty Kadiovrets destroyed the city im pretty sure that the most Hardcore Russian supporter is against Russia bt now...
He was captured and released. They know him now so I think it's just too risky for him to go back. One of the earlier dispatches is of him telling what happened.
It's safe to assume he was sent home, either by Vice, or at the recommendation of the American embassy in Kiev. He'd become too well known and was a target. He's doing some voiceover work on some other Vice videos.
***** The two atomic bombs in Japan were necessary. Otherwise, the war would have dragged on killing countless numbers of both Japanese and American troops. Japanese civilians would have also been killed because they were also on the verge of fighting with their military. Numerous official sources agree with my claim. Germany was not necessarily saved by the USSR. The four leaders all agreed that Germany would be split into four zones controlled by the respective countries. Lets not also forget the Berlin Blockade by the USSR to seize control of the Allied side of Berlin and the ensuing Berlin Airlift by the Allies to get the Berliners the supplies and food that they needed. The US did NOT try to occupy North Korea, they were merely trying to end the war. After all it was the Soviet backed North Koreans that pushed South Korean forces all the way to Busan in the southern tip of South Korea in the first place. The reason why China stepped in was to protect their own interests since North Korean and Allied forces were getting dangerously close to Chinese territory.
All a set up for the cameras. Most of the violence has been from separatists that have attacked police, beaten non separatists, and attempted to set buildings on fire with people still in them to force them out. Separatists probably used a BMP they stole or was given by military that switched sides. Ukrainians don't want to hurt their own people but these pro-secessionists don't see people, only politics.
Here is the pro-russian version of what happened in Mariupol: tinyurl.com/kykarkw BMP was ukranian, it broke and was left by national guard. There is also video of national guard running out of the city: Мариуполь 09.05. Фашисты бегут изгорода/Ukraine army and fascists shoot to civilians
DoobieKeebler watch?v=AHYJUF3Qzlw 50 minutes shows who really attacked the police and surprise!! its not the separatists but the Ukrainian army commanded by right sector (clearly visible from their clothing).
What people tend to forget is the people will believe what they want to believe, even denying the truth that is always present around them. I'm from the States, so I have to rely on reports like these (I greatly wish I was more informed). Back on to my prior statement; either Russian or Ukrainian, people will fight for what the want, and don't like to be tread upon (so to speak). Whether or not the freedom fighters (as some would liked to called) are terrorists, or heroes and martyrs is hard to say. It's all based upon perspective, per individual. On one hand though, I do feel bad for the firefighters having to put out of these fires.
+Rec Helmet They're paid to do this, soldiers can't shoot them so they occupy building after building leaving poor Ukrainian troops with no clue what to do. Fucking Putin. SLAVA UKRAINE
+FakeTaxiDriver да ты что, чистый дурак? The real bad guys here are NATO, USA and IMF... They started all this trouble with the association agreement and bailout terms to divide Ukraine and weaken Russia. Divide and rule is the oldest trick in the book, and it's so sad to see it used against two fraternal peoples. ксенофобия никому не поддерживает, кроме запада
For 8 years the conflict smoldered and now it's a full fledged war. You know what president Bush said in 1991 in his speech in Kiev? "Americans will not support those who seek independence in order to replace a far-off tyranny with a local despotism. They will not aid those who promote a suicidal nationalism based upon ethnic hatred." The Ukrainian nationalists did not like it when Bush said that. But later other people took over and supported those nationalists. Nuland said the US spend 5 billion $US in Ukraine. 5 billion to reshape the political landscape, culminating in the coup on the Maidan, civil war and now a real war.
Ukraine sent armoured battalions there before. The soldiers decided not to shed bloodshed, but the only way they could leave is to drop their weapons and give up their apcs, loaded with rpgs and other goodies.
They're always drinking and always drunk. I think if Eastern Europe/Russia would stop drinking so much vodka none of this would happen, it'd be like when Barney Gumble gives up alcohol.
Nothing about this whole report is pro russian, russians even kidnapped the main reporter lmao. The reports show the russians as violent pathological liars.
I feel like all that you need to do to get a crowd fired up in Russia are throw out the words "fascist" and "fight" and then you have an army of people by your side.
How in the world does the Pro Russian Militia have RPG, AKs and trained weapon handling and military tactics? I've heard speculations that these men are actually deployed Russian Soldiers from before the fighting broke out, dressed in Civilian/Militia clothing? Is this rumour true?
The police and military actually surrendered their weapons to the separatists, The separatists also raided police stations and military bases. Also, keep in mind that military service is compulsory for all Ukrainian men, so they would have had weapons training and military tactics for several years.
There are many veterans of the Afghan war. Ukraine is very corrupt country where u can buy weapons from military officials. The rebels did it! On the side of rebels former employees of the Berkut(ukr.sp.for.). This they seized government buildings in the Crimea.
I have watched twenty of these dispatches from the Ukraine. I have never once seen a sunny day. Eastern Ukraine has to be the dreariest and most depressing place on Earth.
It's spring time. There will be sunny days at summer. I'm not that far from the border and I love the lite rain :) Actually, after commenting I'll go to buy some beer and maybe feed my bear
minuteofsilence1 Lol. That is pretty funny about the bear. I don't mean to generalize or stereotype. I have been keeping up with Ukraine since the Maidan protests in the winter, and i seriously have not seen a single ray of sunshine in any video from Ukraine since then. Maybe I am wrong, but it does seem like a very dreary place.
Its ribbon of Saint George(it has long roots in Russian history). If you are not commie and hesistate to use red flag for any reason its common symbol of Victory in WW2. Due to current Kiev goverment being proNazi its symbol of separatists movement now.
I've learnt that through life you just get on with it. You're going to meet a lot of dishonest people along the line and you say good luck to them. I hope they live in comfort. Then I start sticking more pins in their effigies.
If nazis will come to your city and start murdering your neighbors in such manner I am really curious how many of you would want to live in the same state with the nazis. I think Donetsk and Mariupol are gone from Maidan Ukraine. Odessa may probably follow in a while.
Why are they nazis? What do you think Russian troops would do when someone declared independence from Russia right now? Lets look at Chechnya and see what happened there.
Watching Russian state TV all day are we? Lovely how all pro-Russians talk about the mysterious fascists/nazis and whatnot. They don't have any proof but that doesn't seem to bother them - yell "fascist fascist fascist" as loud as you can, that's all the proof they need!
Guys...You can talk anything about russian TV propoganda but there are some facts: Right Sector is a neonazi party. Polical party "Svoboda" is neonazi(and 10,44 % in parlament). Right Sector is a base of battalion "Dnepr". And how can't you see the difference between the wahhabits in Checnya and people from East Ukraine?
untrialser Please watch some photos from L'vov (Svoda took their about 38%) where take procession with flags of SS Galichina (Galician) (I don't even talk about Bandera-their national hero)...I agree that there is some kind of exaggeration about nazies in russian media. But nazies are real power in modern Ukraine. And about Stalin...If there were no Stalin there wouldn't be any slavs in Donbass and may be no ukranians at all...
if it WAS ukrainian soldiers....why would they have left the apc sitting nicely for everyone else? does that strike anyone as odd? clearly who ever won that battle would have been able to recover their apc pretty easily...
It was a joke. Ukraine and Romania planted a russian aircraft in Kishinev with the help of fighters and interceptors. Rogozin said that the next time he will fly on the Tu-160. Tu-160 is a supersonic strategic bomber. It flying so fast and so high that the romanian and ukrainian jet fighters and interceptors can't catch up with it. Romanian goverment wanted to intimidate and humiliate the russian delegation, but not vice versa. PS: It wasn't an official government joke. Good joke.
Jack Christian Than he should admit that he tried to make a joke, personally I am not amused. He was asked by Romania, if this represents only his personal opinion, or if this is Russia position. Rogozin answered that Romania will see very soon what he means.
Brilliant job Vice News and its entire crew. The entire world needs honest freedom loving, brave journalists to lift the veil of lies and evil that has this strong grip over the entire world. Please do not sell out like the rest of them. The world needs to see what everyone of us are going through, so that we can unite as one to make this world what it should be rather than what these few disgusting, smelly skunks have turned it into.

Protest movement against government brutality drinks to Stalin, whose responsible for the death of thousands of his own people. How does that make sense?
Rule of thumb: If someone is glorifying Stalin, don't trust them.
Stalin save russia from hitler and from USA atom bombing. HItler's main sponsors where English and American banks. Banks wanted to solve their problems to take russian resources but they get just more problems... Because of Stalin. that is why they hate him so much.

Holodomor was something that Stalin and Russia did in Ukraine. More than 7 million people died due to an artificially induced famine. Yay, Stalin!
Jan simon US propaganda was so harsh toward uncle Joe... /s
Stalin was worse than Hitler on many aspects.
MaxFist The Holodomor was not only in Ukraine. Russia has suffered, too, the family of my grandmother died almost all in the Volga region. From 2 to 8 million died in the entire USSR, it was not specifically against the Ukrainian people how wants to represent Western propaganda. Read the history books and not shit in your newspapers.

Stalin....such a "nice" role model (sarcasm)
had the greatest death known to man tho hahaha
Alex Mercer Not for Russia, but it did for China though
Stalin was a monster who starved his people and blacklisted those he didnt like to GULAGS (ever wonder who started those?)
George West
if you mean that he killed the most amount of people, then you are wrong, that goes to Mao Zedong (Which is my nickname on steam btw) the communist leader of china from 1949 to the 1970s. He was responsible for 40 - 70 million deaths ...
Alex Mercer In what parallel universe did Communism work in?
Alex Mercer Nope. Its did NOT worked. 'Cause there was no communism. Stalin have built socialism in USSR.
Im sorry but, are we supposed to feel sympathy for the soviet sympathizers or what?
Stalinist fucks. im sorry but if you revere a genocidal maniac such as stalin, when he wasnt even really the leader of your country when you WERE supposed to like him, you really are an ignorant fool.
you should question why people who were directly affected by him and his policies revere him and why you, who is not connected in anyway, feel the way you do.
Kyle W Stalin was an equal to Hitler or Mao and an utterly evil human, one of the worst to have ever lived.

Its not the man that they are praising, its the time period, in remembrance to Russia's past glory and power.

I am so glad to find this video to actually show people what happened where I live. Most of these vids were taken down by RUclips. People still believe Ukraine fought actual terrorists back then. And no wonder, people kinda turned into terrorists as the 8-year civil war (anti-terrorist operation) unfolded. And the more weapons and supplies we got from Russia the harder it was to show we're civilian resistance, not Russian army. They say "They are traitors" then kill us until we actually start resisting and they say "Told ya, they are traitors". We tried to talk sense into our own military, but all "negotiations with terrorists" were denied.
Damn, this city is gone now. leveled
Possibly just as well after seeing some of its nutters praising Stalin.

Because Russia is still intimidating Ukraine despite what they say and can still pull the wrong trigger, they have token over Crimea and why change the name of a series of videos 36 parts in?
StealthyWolf52 Actually no, Putin already covered that pro-Western argument. He understood people are going to complain about Russian "intimidation", so he withdrew his troops from Ukraine's borders and sent them to their rightful places.
There are no more excuses now.
Dejan Andric
though that may be true, ive heard that satellite images proved otherwise... don't hold me to it though
StealthyWolf52 Yes, he had his troops near the border till just recently, i think they withdrew this week.
Dejan Andric even out from Crimea?
For those like me wondering why the ex communists countries celebrates victory day may 9th and not may 8th, it's because the peace was signed a bit before midnight on German time, but it was already may 9th on Moscow time (2 hours difference).

*****
Not as scarey as your own government killing civilians Why is the US-Backed "Democratic" Yatsenyuk Regime Killing Ukrainian Civilians?
***** Not really.
***** May be making a fine point, but it's not accurate to describe Stalin's crimes as "genocidal." I know using that word makes it sound more impressive, but it's just not correct. Anyhow, many people in that part of the world see Stalin as the person who succeeded in leading them, or their recent ancestors, in their struggle against Hitler. Now Hitler DID have actual genocidal intentions in regard to them, and others, and went quite far toward realizing them. Given this, their softer attitude toward Stalin is somewhat understandable.
JuanDeSoCal
You a correct. Hitler commited genocide because he killed mainly jews, Stalin didn't commit genocide because he killed everybody. Good guy Stalin, saying "NO" to discrimination.
Jokes aside, Stalin is just as big of a murderer (if we take into account numbers, even bigger) as Hitler and cheering for him is just like cheering for Hitler.
MarcianusImperator A lot of people go around, parrot-like, repeating the meme "Stalin killed more people than Hitler" as you just have. But, very few really bother looking into it. I actually did research it some time ago, and although the records are somewhat murky, I reached the conclusion that it is probably not true. Which is not to say Stalin didn't kill a lot of people. He did, and they were primarily those he viewed as his political enemies. The figures were later exaggerated, sometimes to preposterous levels, during the Cold War. This was for general anti-Soviet propaganda purposes, and as a broader effort on the political right to smear the left. It got to the point where figures like 80 million were being thrown out, basically blaming Stalin for every death that occurred for any reason whatsoever during almost the the entire Soviet period. It just goes to show how most people can't be bothered to think for themselves.
"We are peaceful citizens."
Yeah right. Funny how they keep claiming themselves to be something that they are not.
Funny how Kiev labeled half of the country as terrorists.
overbe In a way, that title makes much more sense than considering them as "peaceful" citizens. But labeling them as terrorists is also too extreme, they are dangerously armed militants.
overbe Half of the country? How many people in eastern ukraine support this national socialst bullshit that the pro-russians are doing there?

wafflepiepancake true!
If they want to be part of Russia then why dont they just move into Russia or immigrate there?
because it is their land where they were born and lived all his life
I guess that only applies to russians? The same happened with albanians in Kosovo but the us and nato hat to support them, how come it now they don't like the same situation but in Ukraine? Crazy western expansionism and capitalism..
***** Yeah, there's one small problem. Current Ukrainian government came to power in spite of the current сonstitution and the law. They are not legitimate and the people in the East of Ukraine do exactly what the people's done a couple of months ago on the Maidan in Kyiv. I do not see the difference. Why is it that you can do in Kiev is impossible in Donetsk? P.S. And Vietnam before the coming of сommunists to power, there was a civil war, or not? Supporters of South Vietnam in it is lost and were forced to surrender. In Ukraine crisis also not yet ended and the people there are still fighting with each other.
Because that's not what is actually wanted by them they want the territory back
"If they want to be part of Russia then why dont they just move into Russia or immigrate there?"
That only works when you're talking about some tiny minority. When you want 40% of your population to immigrate to another country, you are just asking for a civil war. Well done, Kiev government.
For 8 years the people of Mariupol suffered under the tyranny of the neo-Nazi Azov Battalion...
At the beginning of this year (2022), the truth was fully revealed - according to the testimonies of the city's residents, it was Azov who destroyed their city, hiding heavy military equipment near their houses, occupying the highest floors where they had shooting ranges, shooting (and killing) people who went in search of food, water, or tried to leave the town, setting fire to their houses, raping women, kidnapping people who were tortured in the camp at the airport (many of them are missing), looting apartments, shops...
People thank the Russians for finally coming to liberate them, they give them humanitarian aid. But...
You will never hear this in the mainstream media of the West.
You sure, it’s Russia who created all of this destruction to so call “liberate”
How idiotic must you be to genuinely believe that that is what happened?
You think that Mariupol was razed to the ground by the army trying to DEFEND it? Because Putin can organize a few interviews with a few dozen scared and desperate people, and have a few hired propagandists spread the news?
Believing the idiotic propaganda of an invading dictator... You really think that half a million people on Mariupol has been there since 2014 wanting their city razed to the ground, and to be "saved" by some Kadyrovite fighter? because you saw a few dozen people say that?

He was captured and released. They know him now so I think it's just too risky for him to go back. One of the earlier dispatches is of him telling what happened.
It's safe to assume he was sent home, either by Vice, or at the recommendation of the American embassy in Kiev. He'd become too well known and was a target. He's doing some voiceover work on some other Vice videos.
Stay out of Ukraine, United States and West! And get out of Ukraine, Russia.
Let Ukrainians figure out Ukraine
true
That is what they said back in 1939 when Germany invaded Poland and that turned out great eh?
No, I want west to save Ukraine from Russian tyranny, just like they saved Japan , south Korea and West Germany
OptimalElement perfect opium well made. I agree totally.
***** The two atomic bombs in Japan were necessary. Otherwise, the war would have dragged on killing countless numbers of both Japanese and American troops. Japanese civilians would have also been killed because they were also on the verge of fighting with their military. Numerous official sources agree with my claim.
Germany was not necessarily saved by the USSR. The four leaders all agreed that Germany would be split into four zones controlled by the respective countries. Lets not also forget the Berlin Blockade by the USSR to seize control of the Allied side of Berlin and the ensuing Berlin Airlift by the Allies to get the Berliners the supplies and food that they needed.
The US did NOT try to occupy North Korea, they were merely trying to end the war. After all it was the Soviet backed North Koreans that pushed South Korean forces all the way to Busan in the southern tip of South Korea in the first place. The reason why China stepped in was to protect their own interests since North Korean and Allied forces were getting dangerously close to Chinese territory.

Violence begets violence. The flame has already been lit, sit back and watch itself tear down.
Thanks for truth! But it was bad idea to show episode about disputable historical events.
Where did the BMP come from? Seems fishy that BMP is there and that army abandoned it. If it was the army that abandoned it what happen to the crew?
Also those bodies noone is picking them up ? Maybe they are Ukranians and not Russians so nobody cares ?
All a set up for the cameras. Most of the violence has been from separatists that have attacked police, beaten non separatists, and attempted to set buildings on fire with people still in them to force them out. Separatists probably used a BMP they stole or was given by military that switched sides. Ukrainians don't want to hurt their own people but these pro-secessionists don't see people, only politics.
Here is the pro-russian version of what happened in Mariupol: tinyurl.com/kykarkw
BMP was ukranian, it broke and was left by national guard.
There is also video of national guard running out of the city: Мариуполь 09.05. Фашисты бегут изгорода/Ukraine army and fascists shoot to civilians
DoobieKeebler watch?v=AHYJUF3Qzlw
50 minutes shows who really attacked the police and surprise!!
its not the separatists but the Ukrainian army commanded by right sector (clearly visible from their clothing).
And why does it have a pro-russian sticker on it ?
What people tend to forget is the people will believe what they want to believe, even denying the truth that is always present around them. I'm from the States, so I have to rely on reports like these (I greatly wish I was more informed). Back on to my prior statement; either Russian or Ukrainian, people will fight for what the want, and don't like to be tread upon (so to speak). Whether or not the freedom fighters (as some would liked to called) are terrorists, or heroes and martyrs is hard to say. It's all based upon perspective, per individual. On one hand though, I do feel bad for the firefighters having to put out of these fires.

Henry is definitely CoD player.... AK47 God! It's not AK47 😂😂
For 8 years the conflict smoldered and now it's a full fledged war. You know what president Bush said in 1991 in his speech in Kiev?
"Americans will not support those who seek independence in order to replace a far-off tyranny with a local despotism. They will not aid those who promote a suicidal nationalism based upon ethnic hatred." The Ukrainian nationalists did not like it when Bush said that. But later other people took over and supported those nationalists. Nuland said the US spend 5 billion $US in Ukraine. 5 billion to reshape the political landscape, culminating in the coup on the Maidan, civil war and now a real war.
HOW THE FUCK did THE ARMY LOSE A BTR???
Ukraine sent armoured battalions there before. The soldiers decided not to shed bloodshed, but the only way they could leave is to drop their weapons and give up their apcs, loaded with rpgs and other goodies.
Im sure that BTR will be used for good intentions...

The police and military actually surrendered their weapons to the separatists, The separatists also raided police stations and military bases. Also, keep in mind that military service is compulsory for all Ukrainian men, so they would have had weapons training and military tactics for several years.

Its ribbon of Saint George(it has long roots in Russian history). If you are not commie and hesistate to use red flag for any reason its common symbol of Victory in WW2.
Due to current Kiev goverment being proNazi its symbol of separatists movement now.
I've learnt that through life you just get on with it. You're going to meet a lot of dishonest people along the line and you say good luck to them. I hope they live in comfort. Then I start sticking more pins in their effigies.
If nazis will come to your city and start murdering your neighbors in such manner I am really curious how many of you would want to live in the same state with the nazis. I think Donetsk and Mariupol are gone from Maidan Ukraine. Odessa may probably follow in a while.
Why are they nazis? What do you think Russian troops would do when someone declared independence from Russia right now? Lets look at Chechnya and see what happened there.
Ruslan, you're not dealing with Russian publics, so forcing a 'nazi' label is almost a lost point.

Lovely how all pro-Russians talk about the mysterious fascists/nazis and whatnot. They don't have any proof but that doesn't seem to bother them - yell "fascist fascist fascist" as loud as you can, that's all the proof they need!
Guys...You can talk anything about russian TV propoganda but there are some facts: Right Sector is a neonazi party. Polical party "Svoboda" is neonazi(and 10,44 % in parlament). Right Sector is a base of battalion "Dnepr". And how can't you see the difference between the wahhabits in Checnya and people from East Ukraine?
untrialser Please watch some photos from L'vov (Svoda took their about 38%) where take procession with flags of SS Galichina (Galician) (I don't even talk about Bandera-their national hero)...I agree that there is some kind of exaggeration about nazies in russian media. But nazies are real power in modern Ukraine. And about Stalin...If there were no Stalin there wouldn't be any slavs in Donbass and may be no ukranians at all...
