  • any one know the song ?

  • All Stewart - Roads to Moscow

  • My dad first turned me on to Al Stewart when I was growing up, and I was instantly drawn to this particular song. This is by far the best video adaptation of this song i've seen yet...the footage and the song itself go together seamlessly...it's like you're really there, standing alongside. Kudos to all who were involved in the making of this one...GREAT JOB!!!

  • What song is this, and great video!

  • Al Stewart: "Roads to Moscow" on the album "Past Present and Future."

    HIGHLY recommended!

  • really good job, great vid for an awsome song.

  • do we make our own guys in ro or it just happens by random

  • Great work. I remember as a kid in the '60's

    playing Stalingrad in our neighborhood during really cold snowy winter days.

  • How dose that work out then???

  • Excellent!

  • nice job guys!! what clan is this??

  • not a clan, a unit

  • for more details about the last pat of the song read "The Long Walk"by Slavomir Rawicz. Its about his treatment by his 'allies' 9 he was a polish officer, and what they did to him for being captured by the germans. And his toally miraculous escape.

  • damn good video. The pig nazis learned never to underestimate the "lowly slav". Rodina lived because of her brave men and women. And stalin turned out to be just as much of a bastard.

  • Stalin was worse then Hitler could ever be.Fact. As for the pig Nazis, they moved the world up 100 years. Lowly Slavs just copied. Example is the 3 B 29's they aquired by pure chance.

  • Great video

    Way to take the time and something like this for Al Stewart

  • Impressively done!

  • How many people are in this clan?????!

  • great song, great vid, Who sings this?and what its called? 'roads to moscow'?

  • It is called Roads to Moscow, is sung by Al Stewart. It can be found on the album Past Present and Future- great album, and great video!

  • Hey wanted to say thanks for all the hard work and great music! SQUIDMAN

  • Hahaha, ugly nazis dying :D.

  • I hate nazis a lot, and I am jewish. But you need to undertstand that the Wehrmacht weren't all nazis. That's like saying every soldier in the us army is a bush supporter. The only soldiers in the german military that were all nazis is the ss, they were trained in the political ideologies. Now I'm sure hitler had supporters in the wehrmacht, but I'm sure he had haters too.

  • good video comrade

  • best red orchestra video ever

  • great video!

  • wow nice vid!

  • Does anybody have any video footage of Al playing this song on the past, present and Future tour circa 1974 I think. I saw him at the Colston Hall Bristol that year. Fabulous concert and I remember Francis Monkman of Curved Air fame playing a mellotron to get the orchestral effects you can hear on this studio version.

    What the song is really about is the enormous sacrifice made by the Red Army during WW2, and the subsequent betrayal and deaths of huge numbers of russians in the Gulags.

  • Nice

  • Fantastic my friend!

  • Nice video. Tells the story really nicely. And this is probably the best 'war ballad' I've ever heard...

  • You told the story well, from the beginning to the end, Job well done.

  • great vid

  • what game is this eh?

  • Great Work. This is going in my favs

  • Thank you. Excellent work.

  • I sent a share of this song to my son Rambo5005 who is historically interested in ww2 and i'm sure he'll love it. Thanx again.Cattotti.xx

  • This song is a real classic and you've done a wonderful job of picturing what it must have been like. Good stuff, both highlighting almost forgotten music[wrongly so] and your own talent. I give you a 10!

  • This is an editor's masterpiece. A great story, well told. Will

  • the palyer movements seem a bitt laggy to me?

  • Think it was sllowed for effect?

  • AWESOME 5* the first really good RO video ^^

  • Russian soldiers taken prisoner, were seen by the Russian regime after the war as traitors, due to the very fact that they had fallen into enemy hands.

    What sort of regime were they fighting for to receive this treatment! Mind you most of them would even rape their own grandmothers! read the books!

  • red orchestra lacks animation... arma or ofp could probably suit it better...

    anyway, this video is nice

  • Not enough people own those games. I suppose if I had the technical knowledge for scripting Armed Assault cinematics, as well as a World War II Eastern Front mod, Armed Assault would be a nice choice. But Red Orchestra was of course the most naturally suited since it is about the Eastern Front.

  • This is the most awsome song and awsome video I have seen in a very long time!

    Outstanding work in putting it together  - it gives me 'goose-bumps' and leaves me with a very special feeling afterwards.

    The Russians were a tough, hard lot that didn't show mercy to any German soldier in the war, but like all soldiers on all sides, they fought hard for what they believed in.

  • exactly how i feel man

  • Read the forgotten Soldier!

  • Can you give me the link? There seems to be a lot of links under that name.

  • Outstanding, Savage Rabbit. Have you shown it to any Soviet WWII veterans? Any feedback from any Russians? Or Germans?

  • I don't know if he had shown but I showed my grand uncle he was captain in the German Armed Forces during the fights in USSR. Of course he didn't understand what the song is about, he never learned English in the Reich at school.

    But he said quite good work, but he never saw the Russians making prisoners. He told me his comrades got wounded and he had to abandon them, so he ran, as he looked back he only saw that the Russians bayoneted them.

  • war is a beast we must all destroy or it will destroy us all. look at us can't go even 50 - 20 years of world peace. i hate to say this but i can see that Nostradamus was right WWIII is gonna happen between now & 2011 unless we ease tensions in the east.

  • Whats the song?

  • Al Stewart - Roads to Moscow

  • This a great song and a better game. What clan are you in Savage Rabbit?

  • I am a proud member of the Third Shock Army, tovarich.

  • This is a great video for one of the great songso f the twentieth century.

  • Bummer...ty for looking into it anyway...i can't find it on here anywhere, and i like your work...thanks again

  • Very nice...also like the Beatles song you snuck in for the credits...Will you think of doing "Mother Russia" by Renaissance? Also a haunting song...thank you.

  • LOL the german dude with the field cap & pistol always gets the bullet....

  • I love the song, I love the video, it´s all so cosy (uum...).

  • howd u guys pull this off?

  • The song is this old Al Stewart fan's top all-time favorite and you have brought it to life masterfully. Awesome job!!

  • Thankyou, savagerabbit directed but I did the bringing to life stuff. :)

  • Good song,  nice film

    Wich game is this ??

  • Red Orchestra

  • Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41-45

  • still looking for "flying sorcery" any help? thanks!

  • great movie.

  • whoa! great!!

  • yo this is [181] Maksimilian that vids awsome. ask me anytime if you need anyone for another movie

  • I'm at 2:52 :)

  • Nice, haha :P. How many people particiapated when u made this btw?. What Ive been thinking of is.. Could be cool if someone remade some clip from some movie. Like that.. 5 Rounds Sceene from Enemy at the Gates or something :P. Would be so damn cool :D

  • @Staatssicherheit

    Dozens of people participated in this. Unfortunately we lost many of the names due to a mix up during the production of the film. But there were too many to count, more than are listed in the credits. Most of the clans requested that their members not be individually named, so we just listed the clans in the credits as well.

    We remade a Band of Brothers scene one time; except that we had to use Russians rather than Americans obviously.

  • Ok, cool =). The 5 Bullet scene would have taken some skills O.o. I was thinking about it for some time. Becasuse, u can set arty at very un effective at servers right? So if like saw someone shoot at people with standard rifle and get 5 clean kills at the same time the arty lands, that could have been intresting to se if anyone could have managed to do O.o. But ill try to watch the band of brothers sceene if i find it ;).

  • this really is the best song

    great job on everything, it was perfect

  • Wow I'm impressed. That's some good filming there. Oh yeah, and HOCHIMANCITY DOT COM ROFLOLOLOZOLZ etc.

  • If you liked the movie, you would've loved the parts where after about half an hour of careful positioning someone dropped a live grenade and blew half the actors up :P

    Ahh, there was some champion raging going on during filming.

  • yeah that was me

  • It was added April 05, 2007.

    Before the patch.

    Savakov worked very hard with this video..

    Im in it :D

    I still think it's one of the best RO video made.

    -Luchan

  • best song ever

  • Maybe you guys should continue this discussion via email?

  • Sorry. Just get into this sometimes.

    Nice video though. How on earth did you manage to make that? :)

  • Lots of participants, Fraps, and Windows Movie Maker. :)

  • kk :)

    But you managed to get so many tanks and in some cases so many people to. or both :O. You love the 50 player servers dont you? ^^

    I wanna try to make a overkill red orchestra video. Where I post how legs and arms tear off the bodies on the game. And what happandes if you shoot a man with a tank :O. Crazy game violent game. I figured that I was at No Gore level :s so I had to fix it. So I was like "O.o"

  • This was made before 50 player servers were available.

  • Or maybe because of the Famine that happened there. Its blamed on Stalin. But Historians say that there are no orders for that. But there were a Natural disaster there. Before Stalin or Lenin to. But bad as ever in 1930's. But you know ukranians dint ever like russians. And probably blamed all on Stalin, and many believed. Exept from the hated jews who were saved by Lenin. What also enoyed Ukranians

  • if you relocate farmers and replace them with city people, dont expect an increase in harvest production. hard enough in peace time, let alone a world wide depression. since the germans never made it past the urals, protecting the industrial base of mother russia, the combined allied aid made it posssible for them to sustain heavy personnel casualties until arms made it possible to take and pursue the offensive. much of that supply came at tremendous cost through Murmansk in the north.

  • Well Allied aid was only 2-3% of the equipment the Russians used. It came as u said from Murmansk area and through Volga. Its a very intresting documentary i found on the internet made by american war department in 1943. About everything. It anser a lot of questions and its very entartaining. Ill send it to u. I hope yuoll find it intresting :).

  • Russians didnt have that rule. They had clear order of no retreat. And Germans as well as Romanians, Italians and Hungarians who were under german controll and together suffered 50% of all axis casualties in Stalingrad.

  • horrorshow work. keep the memories alive. great musician matched with great animator. thanks

  • whats the song?

  • Roads to Moscow.... It says so in the credits.

  • Roads To Moscow by Al Stewart "Past, Present and Future" cd

  • Re Stalin's paranoia... he must surely have been the most evil sonofabitch ever to draw breath. Why didn't the Soviet generals get together and kill him, when they saw how he was treating Russia's war heroes?

  • Because it aint clear if anything of it was stalins fault. I saw a documentary, when all moscow population simply cried when Stalin died. People loved him. Youve seen Enemy at the Gates. Yes. Stalingrad had such rules. But Germans didnt have it so mutch better either. "Any Soldier who surrenderes will have hes entire family killed in reprise". Thats the importance of the battle. Not that red army suffered higher casualties than the axis "check wikipedia".

  • Yes, since I posted my comment I've heard that it wasn't Stalin's idea to shoot the families of men who surrendered, but General Zhukov's. Nice people, eh?

  • No that was Von Paulus's idea for the germans.

  • didnt Stalin decimate his own officer corps before the Nazis invaded for not being politically reliable?

    if Timoshenko and Zhukov survived that wouldnt they order what pleased Joseph D. ?

  • Well im sure he didnt "decimate" his officer corps for fun. But because many of them were former white soldiers who didnt like a thing about communism. He still had many good officers which helped him over manuever the germans.

    Historians say that Russians wouldnt have won without stalin, u can say whatever you want though. Its the people with good ideas who say that he wanted to loose..

  • wasnt the sixth armys officer corps more than decimated after their surrender? it was the sixth right? i would have done the same, no argument. Stalin was ruthless in protecting russia. proportionately more lower ranks made it home to the fatherland than any field grade officers. Stalin feared leaders of any kind more than draftees and followers. he at least gave them a chance to survive on the steppes and siberian frontier. hh

  • .. and what should that be? He didnt ever do something like that.. Why should that please stalin anyway? Ur so dumb :)

    Time and again. Those were the german rules. To execute the family of those who surrendered. Ordered by Fieldmarshall Paulus who him self surrendered in the end. And feared Hitler to reflect that order on his family.

  • ok, i didnt see what we were butting heads about. no, i never heard stalin giving orders or anything happening to the families of men who were captured. it was his treatment of those men, whose loyalty was questioned simply because they had been behind the german lines that bothers me. those orders came from somewhere. especially those in the ukraine where many felt delivered from stalins effort to eradicate the kulaks.

  • There were more than enough of true betrayers. Espessially in Ukraine as you said something about. Thats when they started enterigating those who have escaped captivity. Because in Ukraine geramans managed to ambush and surprize all russian movements in those divisions where someone escaped captivity. Not all those who escaped captivity where shot though. Many were just remembered as "traitors".

  • i see your point. look at the ukraine today.

  • Yes. Im not really sure of why ukranians never liked communism. But i Think it has something to do with that. When Lenin agreed with germans for peace. He gave away their railroads and their factories. Eventhough Ukraine was in fear of loosing their entire country to the Germans if not for peace.

  • was not there a large german jewish minority in the Ukraine ? the capitalist attitude of the kulaks had to be broken for communism to be supplied by the breadbasket of Russia. it was war. the current political struggle in the Ukraine is between connected apparatchiks and the survivors of the ethnic population. respectfully yours, hh

  • good work can anybody tell me if i buy red orchestra i will play it for free like cod? or i must pay like world of warcraft????

  • You do not have to pay to play.

  • Glad i helped.. Awesome turn out.

    -Luchan

  • Yea at 9:11 thats me. INFEX!

  • GREAT! Savakov you have composed a magnum opus. Beatles and Al Stewart - towering musical artistry and poetry: genius. HORRORSHOW!

  • God damn i watched it full through this time. Speechless. Just... Amazing. Tripwire should use it for the preview instead of whatever else they have.

  • holy crap speilberg bows to you lol so the poor bugger never got home?

  • Heh, heh, unfortunately not. Any Russian soldiers who had been POWs during the war were sent to re-concentration camps on account of Stalin's paranoia.

  • This is great, didnt know you could make cinematics with Red Orchestra. Great game and vid tho

  • You can make "cinematics" with any game. Just use the software Fraps.

  • Whoa this is really awesome. GREAT work!

    Favorited x2...if only there was a x2 button haha.
