You can link with this video a recording made on 2 March 1945 with Levitan announcing the capture of Berlin.

Goddamn.
Even after all these years, this still gives me goosbumps.
I'd know that voice, ANYWHERE.

This recording is only a repetition of the original red by the famous Yuri Levitan several decades afterwards. It`s interesting that Germans conducted their own broadcast on a nearby frequency so that thousands of Soviet people could hear Ribbentrop`s declaration in Russian. On that day radio receivers were on at official places like local Party committees and so on. Only after a few days a decree was issued for private receivers to be stored at the post offices till the end of the war. Rumors circulated that Hitler had asked Stalin to permit Levitan to work on Radio Berlin during the short period of friendship.

[@beyondrecall9446]

there was never a "friendship", just delays... the fact that since the 20's, Hitler spoke of expanding living space for Germans exlusivelly to Russia, talked about it repeatedly, How the USSR was "backstabbed" at the Munich conference, as the only non-invited country, as they were he only ones to protest giving concessions to Hitler (Where Chaiberlain got "The Peace of Our Time" which was a Non-Agression Pact but nobody calls it that), and saw that it was isolated in the "Antifascist Coalition". Also, the Non-Aggression Pact between the USSR and Germany was signed at the moment while the USSR was at a border war with Japan in Mongolia, during the battle that many historians call "The battle that chaged history" as it decidehow the war would go on from then )Japan expanding South, leading to conflict with the US), (Battle of Khalkin Gol).. So all those who talk of "friendship while it was just political maneuvering, like all the other countries did is stupid, from a historical perspective..

[@seasr405]

An interesting fact that Molotov is the one who is peaking. And he was the one who signed a non aggressive pact with Germany

[@therealamazingsomebody]

To think how horrible things would get form here on out is disheartening even if it's already happened a long time ago. WE NEED TO STOP THIS NONSENSE.

[@maiconramos2041]

I imagine what it would be like if after the announcement of the German invasion the Soviet Union had played the song Holy War right after, it would be perfect.

[@alejandrohooba]

does anyone know the sound that plays at the start?

[@matthewsinaga4852]

Wide is my motherland

[@mateoturic2140]

Regular interval signal of Radio Moskva, used throughout its entire broadcasting life, from 1929 to 1993. Those are the beginning notes of "Wide is my motherland".

[@kriegswar6733]

anyone can do translate about this recording?, i wanted to know what he saying

[@YugoBall]

Can someone translate the message to english

[@faina_baster]

I used Google translator, but I hope the subtleties of the meaning are conveyed correctly
“Attention, Moscow speaking! We convey an important government message, citizens of the Soviet Union, today at 4 o'clock in the morning, without any declaration of war, the German armed forces attacked the borders of the Soviet Union. The Great Patriotic War of the Soviet people against the Nazi invaders began. Our cause is right! The enemy will be defeated! Victory will be ours!"
