viva russia from palestine

[roko199200]

[SuperUshistory]

@roko199200 it is the anthem of moscow

[Flottenkommodore]

whats the name of the song starting at 08:26?

[tobiasf1]

the part starting at 12 minutes is very cool! well done

[dsindc]

If as you continue to claim, over and over, that linguistic abilities make or break an individual, they what kind of Marxist would Mao, Stalin, Lenin, Castro and many others make if they could not read it in its original German. None of these men were fluent in German. As for your gratuitous comment about our military, check sources like Janes. In summary, I have made points citing sources and you have never responded to one. If you can't do better than this, you need to go back school.

[dsindc]

@dsindc Finger slipped. I meant to say, if they could not read the Communist Manifesto, then what kind of Marxist, etc etc.

[EVZYL]

@dsindc Hmm.  All kinds of things seem to be slipping in your neck of the woods.

[roko199200]

what is the name of the song that starts at 08:12

[amirchik7]

@roko199200

тебе этого не понять..................

"РОДНАЯ МОЯ РОССИЯ" называется она...

[jmramos0109]

No negative comments, just watch this parade.

[spartaknumerouno]

Спасибо за Победу!

[dsindc]

@EVZYL Please see my response to your bizarre comment below. The life span in the U.S. is dropping? Are you serious? Or are you that poorly informed? I quoted World Bank stats, but there are many other sources. Sure, we Americans are all fat and stupid. Please, grow up. Tell that to the soldiers who removed Osama bin Laden. Next, please review my quote from the Moscow Times. 22 % of Russians want to leave their country. That says it all. Now Russians are out demonstrating. Are you clueless?

[EVZYL]

@dsindc Ah, using the Moscow times as your source? Hmmm. That explains a lot. Maybe you should consult Russian sources as well. How good is your Russian, by the way? And what about the 78% of who do not want to leave? If my maths are correct, that amounts to a VAST majority.

[dsindc]

@EVZYL I could have used many other sources. I have seen as high at 40% of Russians wanting to get out of Russia. The Russian media are not reliable since old (and bad) habits once again emerge-i.e. political censorship. If ONE Russian sourse gives such bad news, the truth must be much worse. I note you make no comment on my response to your laughable assertion that Americans are living a shorter life span. My source, the World Bank. In any case 22% wanting to leave is a catastrophe.

[EVZYL]

@dsindc I worked in Russia for three years - non of my colleagues wanted to leave. I speak six languages so my sources are quite varied. What about you?

[dsindc]

@EVZYL I hold three college degrees including an advanced one. I speak English and French - are more needed? I quote my sources. As for Russian sources, I do watch RT,from time to time, but given the censorship in Russia, it's hard to know anything from the Russian media. However, even RT has had to admit to massive political demonstrations. The photos were overwhelming. The consensus appears to be that Putin stole the last election. Plus ca change...

[EVZYL]

@dsindc What are the majors of your degrees? Until you're fluent in Russian, YOU'RE the one who'll be slavishly following your western masters, being subject to what they feel like translating and adapting it the way that suits them. English and French, wow! Now add Russian, German, Spanish, Dutch and a smattering of Mandarin to that - then you know where I'm at.

[dsindc]

@EVZYL B.A. Anthropology, B.S. Political Science, M.P.A., Public Admin. I'm noticing a trend here- you appear to be unable to engage in the most basic polemic exercise. You fail to respond to facts backed up by the citations I've presented. As a result, your arguments collapse. You seem to lack a grasp of the most basic facts. You can have your own opinions, but without information to support them, they mean nothing. By the way, your last sentence ended with a preposition- LMAO - FAIL.

[EVZYL]

@dsindc Yes, I agree with you. Supporting information from a variety of ORIGINAL sources in the ORIGINAL language is crucial. Or else you just end up slavishly repeating whatever it is that your lords and masters feel fit to spoonfeed you with. Oh god no, another sentence ending with a preposition. Help, the grammar police are onto us!

[dsindc]

@EVZYL Once again, you miss the point. If you're linguistic abilities are inadequate (you make mistakes), then why is it so important to speak the language itself? I agree. We should seek independent sources of data. I have done that, and cited my sources. I watch RT which is funded by the Russian government. I assume you would question that source because they present their views in English. Please, you are grasping. Russia is a sinking ship. It's sad. Perhaps you should work on your English.

[EVZYL]

@dsindc Perhaps you should learn another language. How about Russian? You do seem to regard yourself as an expert in this field!

[dsindc]

@EVZYL Learning another language is a good thing. But how many languages did De Gaulle speak? Churchill, FDR, Stalin, Stephen Hawking or Einstein? Perhaps you should learn how to engage in polemics. You show no evidence that your abilities have expanded your insight. Do you speak Swahili? No? Does this mean you could never write anything about Jomo Kenyatta? Of course not. There are good translators everywhere. I present facts and sources. Why don't you respond to the point made by VTSIOM?

[EVZYL]

@dsindc How sadly you miss the point. If you don't speak the original language, you cannot choose what you want to read, you're at the mercy of other peoples' decisions. By the way, what do you mean when you say that you're "American"?  Which of the 23 American countries do you come from?

[dsindc]

@EVZYL I'm at the mercy of whom?? You're comments are becoming more childish and bizarre with each post. If there is a market, anything can be translated. We don't have a central authority e.g. the Politburo in the old USSR. I've a friend who translates documents from Japanese to English. If I wish to use his services,there IS a market. ME. Your argument is silly. I'm at nobody's 'mercy'. But you are not content to continue your rant here. You bring in an absurd manner the issue of leadership.

[EVZYL]

@dsindc So how do you know which articles you want to have translated if you cannot read the original? You're at the mercy of whoever translates even the title of an article.

[dsindc]

@EVZYL Once again, we make this silly argument. Scott Friedman, a well known linguistic wrote the following "The American Translators Association (ATA) provides certification combining 24 different languages with English. The International Federation of Translators has member associations from each country that can provide translation certification between any two languages on the planet." The answer then is "you check the translator's credentials". Do you understand?

[EVZYL]

@dsindc No, I'm afraid I have NO idea where you're going with this. Your ramblings have turned into what I can best describe as white noise.

[dsindc]

@EVZYL Do you have a graduate degree? If so, per international standards, one must complete their FLRS, foreign language and research skills. Do you know what an "abstract" is? No? According to an Oxford-Cambridge survey, 18 of the 20 finest universities are in the U.S. Evidently, you're from Chile, a country with one major accomplishment in the last 50 years- pulling a group of miners out of a hole in the ground. Perhaps you should pull your head from the hole its in. You're boring me.

[EVZYL]

@dsindc First of all, if I'm boring you, why do you keep on responding to my comments? Yes, I do have a graduate degree - in Russian Studies, for the record. Your assumption about my being Chilean is so far off the mark. I just happen to be living here at the moment. I've lived, worked and studied all over the world. The one place I couldn't get out of fast enough was your country. So superficial and materialistic. And drugged out - like your pilots?

[dsindc]

@EVZYL Boring? Yes. But I consider this a "teachable moment". You seem totally incapable of engaging in constructive argument. I make point A. You respond ""So superficial and materialistic. And drugged out - like your pilots?" This is a non sequitur. You have never quoted a reliable source, and you hide your nationality. Drugged out. Well, I have been in Holland, which was the biggest drug emporium I've ever seen. I was just in Paris and saw massive slums full of immigrants. (cont)

[EVZYL]

@dsindc Thank goodness there are NO slums in Yankania. And NO drug abuse. Oops, time for the grammar police again. Starting the sentence with the conjunction "and" AND complete absence of a verb. By the way, when I'm in the Netherlands, I prefer spending time in the Rijksmuseum. Obviously you're the kind of person who prefers the drug emporiums.

[dsindc]

@EVZYL I have been to the Rijksmuseum. I can also walk to most Smithsonian museums. My underdraduate degree was in Anthropology with a concentration in archaeology. But this comment " Obviously you're the kind of person who prefers the drug emporiums.Any evidence for that bizarre comment? Here is why you're becoming booring - you refuse to engage in any points I've brought up, many having been based on sources cited. You come across like a small child in a sandbox. "you're poopie!". (cont).

[EVZYL]

@dsindc What does it mean to become "booring"?

[dsindc]

@EVZYL It's urban slang, something like "chillax", a combination of "chilling" out, and relaxing. Booring, is both "boorish", and boring. I like a discussion with substance. You haven't once used any statistic, cited any reliable source backing up your increasingly bizarre assertions. In short, you're boorish.

[EVZYL]

@dsindc Haaa haaa! Sooo fuuunnnnyyyy too seeee yooouuu trrryyyyiiinnnggg toooo paaaaiiiinnntttt yoooouuuurrrseeelllfff ooouuuttt oooff aaaa cooorneer.

[dsindc]

@EVZYL By the way, I was also in Paris in November and visited the Basilica of St. Denis in the ever expanding "banlieue" of Paris. The Basilica was fantastic. The neighborhood was one of the worst slums I've ever seen. I spoke to some of the (mostly Muslim) citizens in the area, and they complained that if they take the metro, or RER, they are greeted by the police at the Gare du Nord screaming for papers. Sounds much like Nazi Germany and the Jews doesn't it? Yet, look who our president is.

[dsindc]

@EVZYL SO you like Russians. Are you aware Sergei Khrushchev, son of Nikita is now an American citizen? All of your arguments are anecdotal and so far removed from the truth that perhaps you have been in Russia too long. It's once again reverting to its old ways. We now have "Putinism". America is a huge country. It's impossible to make comments that apply to the entire nation. Perhaps you had a bad experience. My office has had many interns. One was Chinese. She and her family loved America.

[EVZYL]

@dsindc What do I care about what Chinese interns think about Yankania? Where is your mind wandering? Sorry to burst your bubble, but Khrushchev was Ukranian, not Russian.

[dsindc]

@EVZYL WRONG ! Krushchev was NOT Ukrainian, he LIVED there, but was 100%. Russian. "Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev was born in Kalinovka in southern Russia on April 17, 1894. As a child, Khrushchev attended a religious school where he learned to read and write.He also took a job taking care of cattle and continued until he was in his early teens." Continued (especially since you are showing such massive ignorance on this subject)

[dsindc]

@EVZYL

"At the age of fifteen he became an apprentice (a student learning the trade) mechanic in Yuzovka, a growing town in the Ukraine, where his father was working as a miner". Another source "Russians in Ukraine: Nikita Khrushchev, Sergei Prokofiev, Russian Language in Ukraine, Ilya Repin, Russian Cultural Centre in LVIV, Novoros

(ISBN 10: 1156144922 / ISBN 13: 9781156144923 )". I am shocked that you would be so ignorant of this. Have you read his memoirs? Evidently not. (cont)

[dsindc]

@EVZYL Further evidence "Khrushchev himself, in 1959, in a speech in the East German city of Leipzig, declared, apparently for the first time, that he was Russian.'I am a Russian,' he said. "A Russky." And Kalinovka's population, he said, was purely Russian."

Kellen, K.(1961) Khrushchev: A Political Portrait. Publisher: Frederick A. Praeger, New York. 1961, p. 7." EVZYL, he says the same in his memoirs. That you are ignorant of this calls into question your knowledge of Russian history.

[dsindc]

@EVZYL Oh, sorry to burst YOUR bubble. As for my bringing up my Chinese intern, my point was to illustrate how your ramblings are so anecdotal. We can play that game too. The (very bright) Chinese student from Chengdu and her family loved America. You, have your own opinion. Perhaps you received responses from America that reflected your attitude towards our country. If you are going to respond, please use verifiable sources. You're obviously no academic.

[dsindc]

@EVZYL So why so mysterious? Can you explain why so many Russians from the sources I've quoted want to leave Russia? And really, you should identify your nationality. Unless of course you are too ashamed.

By the way, our pilots are not on drugs. How could they be to sneak into a country like Pakistan, next to their national military academy, snatch bin Laden, and a trove of intelligence? Please explain. Yes, I know, the Pakistanis rely on 5th rate Russian military equipment, but really!!

[EVZYL]

@dsindc Oh your pilots are SO drugged they're constantly killing their allies "by accident". Why don't your read the sources I've referred you to, or watch your own Discovery documentaries? As to my nationality, I have German and Dutch grandparents and a French great-grandparent, so I'm not as paranoid and xenophobic as you.

[EVZYL]

@dsindc Ah, let me guess, the other two "finest" universities are Oxford and Cambridge. Such typical Anglo-Saxon chauvinism. How exactly did they define "fine"? WASP institutions with a heavy fees?

[EVZYL]

@dsindc Why would I want to write anything about Jomo Kenyatta?  If I were interested in Africa, I would definitely have learnt an African language. That's just the way I am - I respect people of other countries sufficiently to learn their languages.

[dsindc]

@EVZYL I would also suggest that instead on concentrating on linguistics, you learn history, political science, sociology, psychology and anthropology. Any source that has any merit will be translated into dozens of languages. I certainly mean no offense, but I suspect the professional translators have a better grasp of whatever language is being translated than you or I. Language is a tool. The idea is to use it. I see no evidence of your ability to make that leap. Back to school for you !

[EVZYL]

@dsindc If it makes you happy, trust whatever "they" decide deserves merit. If only you had had an enquiring mind, you would have tried to be more independent in your thinking.

[EVZYL]

@dsindc Putin's going to be re-elected again. What fun he's going to have rolling whoever's sitting in the Oval office!

[dsindc]

@EVZYL Now this is becoming really sophomoric.Putin is going to have fun rolling over whoever's.. etc. " ? Oh really?

This from Bloomberg 4/4/09.

"Plans for further expansion are leading to a new strategic confrontation between Russia and the West -- one that Putin is determined to win after

Russia failed to prevent former Soviet satellites from joining NATO after the end of the Cold War."

It appears with NATO on the borders of Russia, someone was "rolled". It was Putin.

[EVZYL]

@dsindc Your pretenders to the throne in the Oval office are a sorry bunch. Just looking at your presidential candidates makes the rest of the world howl with laughter.

[dsindc]

@EVZYL We have no "pretenders" to the throne. We have a president. You continue to avoid responding to the countless points I've raised, or cited any source of significance. You can't stop touting your linguistic skills. Translators are as we say, a dime a dozen. They don't make much money because there are so many. As for our military, I would ask you to identify anyone who would "laugh" at Seal Team 6. My office has several Chinese interns. They confirm, in China, America means the USA.

[EVZYL]

@dsindc Do I have to SPELL out everything verbatim to you? I'm talking about the clowns you have lined up for your next presidential elections. And who dragged the Chinese into this discussion? I couldn't care two figs what they regard as American. Yikes, get a grip on yourself.

[dsindc]

@EVZYL I've thrown facts which you ignore, and fail to present your own. You now regress to childish rants - Putin is going to roll us.It appears it is Putin who may be rolled, by the growing masses of protesters in Moscow and elsewhere. Russia is becoming more irrelevant, a dropping life span, small population, a military that's a former shell of what it once was. To wrap up- Russia is declining. America is recovering from the recession. It remains the most formidable country on earth. .

[EVZYL]

@dsindc Once again, what do you mean by America? All 23 plus nations comprising both continents? Or are you referring to the USA, with its armed forces high on drugs, recruiting in the ghetto's?

[dsindc]

@EVZYL What nearly everyone all over the world considers to be "America", is what I too mean by "America". If you are grasping at more attempts to continue a losing argument, ok. We'll call it the USA. Now be honest for a second. If I said "America" to a Chinese citizen, what do YOU think they would think that means? Our armed forces are high on drugs? How about those who pulled off the brilliant operation that led to the death of bin Laden and intelligence gathering? You're grasping.

[EVZYL]

@dsindc a. I wouldn't know what a Chinese citizen would call you as I'm not a Chinese citizen. Sorry.

b. Just google - US: Friendly Fire Deaths Linked To US Pilots On Speed

Your compatriots need to be high, figuratively speaking, before they can take off!

[dsindc]

@EVZYL You're like a monkey grasping at tree limbs hoping to find something significant, but you've found nothing. You argue lingustics and seem to admire Communism. Go to "Penguin.com" & "the Communist Manifesto". This ref. "Engels was brisk and lighthearted, with all the social refinements of a bourgeois gentleman, while Marx was the stereotype of the ponderous scholar—slow, careful, and somber. Though he lived in London for thirty-four years, Marx never learned to speak English fluently".

[dsindc]

@EVZYL- OK How about the Moscow News-LMAO. Is that better? by Lidia Okorokova at 10/10/2011 22:03

Prime Minister Vladimir Putin’s decision to run for a third term may have thousands mulling emigration on their blogs – but experts say a mass exodus may not become reality.According to VTSIOM, Russia’s leading survey agency, young people aged between 18 and 24 are the ones most actively inclined towards emigration.Over 40 percent of the population would like to improve their lives by emigrating."

[dsindc]

@EVZYL I have nothing against Russia, but detest the treatment Russians receive at the hands of their leaders. Your observations from Russians are anecdotal. Again, I will quote sources, and pundits who know what they're talking about. I would suggest you read Niall Ferguson's article in Time 12/19/11 entitled "The Incredible Shrinking Superpower- Russia - Who Cares? With its Rampant Voter Fraud and Declining Population, the Country is Careening Toward Irrelevance." So which side are you on?

[EVZYL]

Спасибо большое! A great parade filled with surprises. I preferred it to this year's Victory Parade, which was very one-dimensional by comparison. What are the songs at 29.30 and 34.7?

[dsindc]

@EVZYL Please see my response to your bizarre comment below. The life span in the U.S. is dropping? Are you serious? Or are you that poorly informed? I quoted World Bank stats, but there are many other sources. Sure, we Americans are all fat and stupid. Please, grow up. Tell that to the soldiers who removed Osama bin Laden. Next, please review my quote from the Moscow Times. 22 % of Russians want to leave their country. That says it all. Now Russians are out demonstrating. Are you clueless?

[KGBsovietpride]

Communism will be back!

[Elvisman1977]

Who is the man with the white hair and speaks at the start?

[Araltan1]

@Elvisman1977 The Mayor of Moscow

[Biggie1231]

I love getting to Watch the Videos you post . I would to go Visit Russia one day . My Friend she is Deaf and Is from Russia She signs good American Sign Language . But when she speaks she talks in Russian . We are Very Close like brother and sister

[RedSamurai84]

@Biggie1231 Thats very sweet.

[chasovoy]

What is the march that starts at 24:15?

[RedSamurai84]

@chasovoy Герой

[chasovoy]

@RedSamurai84 Thanks, found it!

[Fryderyk104]

06:51 FTW

Thumbs up if you agree!

[Reactor7907]

Картина не полная!!! А где Сталин со своей речью? Или его вспоминают только 30 октября

[DrLeavingsoon]

Shiiit - bloody well done indeed!

[tj440088]

What is the song after the national anthem of Russia/CCCP?

[lanivil0209]

@tj440088 the anthem of the city of Moscow

[iliesko]

i wish they would film more the band playing the Russian anthem...it's atreat to see those wonderful musicians play with such professionalism and order....bravo to all

[sovietcommissar]

@Socialismo1988 Say what you will, but I'd take even broken Soviet communism over Nazi fascism anyday. Think of thanking those who served instead of bringing your political commentary to the table.

[sovietcommissar]

So amazing; so emotional for the veterans and all the people who owe the USSR their freedom from Hitler.

Fight on, comrades! За родину!

[Nerso020]

What song they sing after the anthem?

[HierKommtMicha]

@Nerso020 "Моя Москва"/"My Moscow" (Music: Dunajewski/Words: Pisanski/Agranjan).

[HierKommtMicha]

@Nerso020 P. S.: This song was written in 1941.

[aurorakater711]

Der 7. November ist der Tag der Oktoberrevolution und die Parade 1941 fand aus diesem Anlass statt, die Völker werden das NIE vergessen, auch wenn die Führung des heutigen Russlands jeden Bezugspunkt dazu vergessen will.

Es lebe die UdSSR, Lenin, Stalin und die Rote Armee !

[Iceland1944]

I respect this kind of patriotism. The Russians fought WWII to protect their very lives. That war was won with Russian blood. As much as I despise Communism and Communist crimes commited against innocent people, the Russians fought a good war. And they sure know how to commemorate it.

[fekerfanta]

URSS > Russia

[dsindc]

I'm American, and I assure millions of Russians we are aware of the heroism of the Russian people in the Great Patriotic War. Those of us with an education are aware in fact that the Russian people saved civilization. All we have to do is look at the faces of the veterans. It brings me to tears. The suffering they endured is etched on their faces. The world needs a strong Russia. I love my country, but my wish is for Russia and America to become close partners. Beautiful parade.

[TagsNOLA]

@dsindc Да так!

[IvanUSSR1917]

@dsindc

I hope that most Americans know the truth about our history of Russia and the heroism of our people.

[dsindc]

@IvanUSSR1917 My hope is the same. I think we do.

[declaration963]

Are these supposed to be "October Revolution Day" parade ?

[RedSamurai84]

@declaration963 No, the October Revolution is no longer a holiday in Russia. This is a memorial parade to the 1941 parade.

[declaration963]

@RedSamurai84 oh... thanks for explanation :)

[JPMorganSuckBalls]

23:44 what the song called?

23:51 the woman ruined the drums :(

[Russianbeautyxxx]

FUCKING NAZIS!!!

[VinantP]

Whats the song that starts at 45:19?

[khanhtoong]

eng sub, plzzzzz



[gavrikas]

20:04 "освобождение украина"... :/ horrible lies

[Kosak44]

Parade auf dem Roten Platz am 7. November zur Erinnerung an die Parade vom 7.11. 1941 ... Nicht ein einziges Wort darüber, dass diese Parade 1941 dem Jahrestag der Großen Sozialistischen Oktoberrevolution gewidmet war.

Aber Putin, Medwedjew und Co. können ihrem Volk die eigene Geschichte nicht nehmen - es wird sich darauf besinnen und handeln! Und davor haben sie offenbar Angst . Sollen sie ruhig zittern - sie werden in der Geschichte ihres Landes mit Sicherheit keinen Ehrenplatz bekommen!!!

[aurorakater711]

@Kosak44

Dem ist nichts hinzuzufügen !

[Ktaurus26]

Red Samurai, do you know if the CPRF still has a rally celebrating the October revolution? i think they used to lay flowers at Lenin's tribune before the Russian government revived this parade on the 7th thus closing red square on this holiday?

[marcelocastelliano]

But is it the day of great october socialist revolution?

[RedSamurai84]

@marcelocastelliano Yes, November 7th is the day of the October Revolution. But its no longer a holiday in Russia.

[SilentMan52]

@marcelocastelliano

Yes it is the day of the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917, but now the traitors in power want everybody to forget the 1917 Revolution. Compare this parade with anyone during the Soviet era. Notice that Lenin's pictures are absent. I wouldn't be surprised if Coca-Cola, MacDonald's and Bank of America posters show up during the next the parade.

[somethingposative]

GLORY TO THE RED ARMY! GLORY TO THE RUSSIAN PEOPLE!!!!! the american pigs maybe ungrateful for Russia's sacrifices but here in England we're not, thankyou Russia for your sacrifice and bravery!!!!

[HansB1]

Its great to a a Russian, unless you're a member of a minority, a foreign worker, a dissident, an honest reporter, a Jew, someone not in Putin's political party...come to think of it, just about everyone. The Russians I know here in America are really, really glad that they are no longer living in Russia.

[klebehss]

lol nazi statue XD naah just kidin'

[Lordsebastian101]

the song at the end made me cry :')

[Arwid89]

Parading in memory of _some other_ parade? That's just too stupid.. o_O Why not in honour of October Revolution as in good ol' Soviet times?

[navy57]

@Arwid89 You don't have a clue about the significance of the 7 November 1941 parade, do you? It's YOU who're stupid, not the Russians who're honoring THAT parade.

[Arwid89]

@navy57 Lol, celebrating some previous parade with another parade is really stupid. I'd say this is just some pathetic Russian neonationalist-putinist method of overwriting and erasing the history of 7th November as a day of Soviet October Revolution.

[adrianpantoronto]

beautiful , thanks for posting this

[95andropov]

28:52- FAIL..

[VinantP]

@95andropov HAHAAHA....i wouldn't have noticed!!! great parade though.

[anubisi1983lk]

Russian people are great people, you sacrificed 17% of your population to defend your mother land and the peace of the world, as your Chinese comrade, I highly respect all of you!

No one, not Napoleon, not Hitler could ever conquer this great race, this great nation!

YPA!!! YPA!!!

[cutandshoottx]

funny how russia remember's america forget's

[mraks3]

@cutandshoottx there's nothing funny. it was war for our all lives. america jumped in as we almost won...

[navy57]

@mraks3 Back in 1940-41 the United States of America -- which a check of an non-Soviet map would confirm was not exactly the next door neighbor of the USSR or Germany-- was a non-belligerent nation. It had no sympathy for the Nazis but the people were nevertheless overwhelmingly against become engaged in a European war. In a series of steps taken by President Roosevelt we provided military aid to the British and inexorably became more belligerent. On 21 June 1941 we became an ally of the USSR.

[afpossebrazda]

Slaba velikaya pobeda, Slaba SSSR! Hurra! Hurra!! Hurra!!!

@afpossebrazda Da zivjet pjervaja socijaljisticeskaja strana v mirje! Privjet at Jugaslaviji!

[Ktaurus26]

Happy 94th anniversary, October revolution.

[4kgb]

@Ktaurus26 It's 70th anniversary of legendary parade 1941. All of those troops and vehicles vent directly to front line right from the cremlin's walls. Great October Socialist Revolution day celebrateing OCTOBER 17th.

[Ktaurus26]

@4kgb thanks for the response, yes I'm aware of this. I will always think of the 7th as revolution day despite the USSR being gone. Those were brave men knowing they were marching to there deaths defending there country.

[iliesko]

thank you for posting this so fast.....breathtaking...just to think of the historic moment lived by Russians 94 years ago...and how you remember and honour it today....that's why you where,are and forever will be the greatest country in the world!

[warlight2333]

a really good show beatifully done long live Soviet Liberators!!

[MrRedarmy1945]

GOD BLESS SOVIET UNION, RED ARMY, COMRADE STALIN AND COMMUNIST PARTY!!!! YPA-YPA-YPA !!!

[navy57]

@MrRedarmy1945

God bless Comrade Stalin? That's like saying "Thank God, I'm an atheist."

Stalin was a monster. He probably killed more citizens of the Soviet Union than the Germans did. And Communism was a "great success' right?

[MrRedarmy1945]

@navy57 What the f...k do you know about Stalin !!!??? Anly that shit that you stupid Americans see on your stupid History Chanel!!! Last time I checked you Americans with all your monster presidents killed more people arrownd the world then any other nation !!! Bombing Hiroshima and Nagasaki just to show us that you had a nuklear bomb !!! And helping Hitler to become who he had become, just to get rid of us !!! But we f..ed him and you at the same time thanks to Comrade Stalin and USSR!!! 

[navy57]

@MrRedarmy1945 You're a glutton for punishment, Tovarisch. What do I know about Stalin? I know what I've read about him in many sources, including Solzhenitsyn's "Gulag Archipelago". Have you read it? It was written for and to the people of the Soviet Union, not for the West. I know that Khruschev denounced him. I know that he deliberately allowed millions of people in Ukraine to starve to death. He virtually wiped out the Red Army's senior leadership during his bloody 1937 purge.

@navy57 Navy57, I agree with you completely. I admire the Russian people, but it seems they never realize their political system is holding them back. Stalin DID decimate the officer's corps in 37. The USSR lost something like 20 million, but that would have been much lower had it not been for Stalin, and creeps like Beria. I have noticed Russians have a tendency to ignore the Pacific Theatre. The Japanese were hardly a walk in the park. Now Russia is entering an era of Putinism. A shame.

[iliesko]

@dsindc better a true leader as Putin than a puppet one like Obama...Putin restored Russia-s greatness and made Russians proud again of their Super Power nation....

[dsindc]

@iliesko To whom is Obama a puppet? You're Romanian and you make such a comment? Romania is a member of NATO. Did you not know that? I admire Russia for honoring its past. It future does not look so good. A super power? The gross domestic product of the U.S. is around 15 trillion dollars. Russia: 1.46 trillion. The life span for Russian men 63 years, American men- 77. Russia's population continues to decline. The average income in Russia - $11,000. The U.S. $40,600. You must be young.

@dsindc Just for the record, US life expectancy is now decreasing due to obesity and all the illnesses related to it.

[dsindc]

@EVZYL You appear to be out of touch with reality. This is from the World Bank - "World Development Indicators" - This is the lifespan for Americans per the following years- 2000 - 76.64, 2003- 76.99, 2006 -77.59, 2009 - 78.09. Cut the crap you moron. You 're from a small insignificant country of no importance.

[dsindc]

@EVZYL Is there is no end to your ignorance? This is from the World Bank "World Development Indicators" and provides the life span figures per the following for Americans - 2000 - 76.64, 2003- 76.99, 2006- 77.59, 2009 - 78.09. This is from the Moscow Times of Dec. 6, 2011 "In a May poll by the respected Levada Center, 22 percent of respondents said they wanted to move abroad for good, compared with 13 percent in April 2009. The poll of 1,600 Russian adults had a margin of error of 3.4% "

[EVZYL]

@dsindc The US National Center for Health statistics are totally different. Check out the report posted on Bloomberg News on 9 Dec last year which indicates that it is dropping for the first time since 1993.

[dsindc]

@iliesko I know two Russians here. They return to visit family, but have the same stories - things are not good. I feel sorry for Russia - it has had to endure much. But it continues to act out a tragedy. Putin is becoming an autocratic, & what wealth Russia has lies in its commodities, oil, lumber, minerals, gas. Nothing of any great value is manufactured in Russia. I admire the old soldiers I see here, but Russia will ultimately have to do more than put on a parade if it wants to be great.

[dsindc]

@navy57 I would recommend "Khruschev Remembers" if you haven't read it already. Part of Stalin's inner circle. Khruschev recounts Stalin literally hiding under his bed as the Germans advanced. It appears he probably had a nervous breakdown. Because of his ineptitude the Russians suffered much more than they should have. Stalin did finally snap out of it. By that time, millions of Russians were already dead. Interesting, Khruschev's son Sergei is now an American citizen, lives in Rhode Island.

[navy57]

@MrRedarmy1945 to continue, how about sourcing your outlandish comments about how many people Americans have killed? President Truman nuked Hiroshima and Nagasaki to preclude having to invade Japan. Far more people, both American and Japanese would have died if an invasion had become necessary. Imagine Stalingrad times 100 and you'll get an idea what that would've amounted to. The USA didn't sign a "non-aggresion" treaty with Nazi Germany. The Soviet Union did.

[navy57]

Respond to this video... The USA didn't help Hitler to become what he did. Your beloved Stalin did.

I give all credit and honor to the Red Army for its magnificent performance during World War II. It bore the brunt of the fighting and paid a terrible price to become the victors. I deeply admire the people of the Soviet Union for the privations and destruction they endured until the Nazis were finally defeated.

Nonetheless, Stalin was a Monster. He will always be one.

[iliesko]

@navy57 and who defeated the nazis???? the hero people of the USSR....in proportion of over 85%....not americans nor english who destoyed about 10%.....the victory against nazism was won by the soviet people's great effort and sacrifice....

[navy57]

@iliesko

Did the USSR bomb Germany's industry into rubble around the clock from 1943 until the end? Did the USSR contribute to the Battle of the Atlantic? Did the USSR contribute anything to the British and Americans to aid in their conduct of the war? Did the USSR fight the Japanese before the war in the Pacific was all but over? The answer to all of those questions is "no".

Do I, or the British or my fellow Americans, appreciate the terrible sacrifices made by the people of the USSR? YES!!

[MrRedarmy1945]

@navy57 So shut the f...ck up and go eat your humbugers !!! I wanna thow up when I hear name of your shit country !!! The most evil place in the world !!! Keep on creating more war zones arround the globe!!! Bloodthirsty nation !!!

[navy57]

@MrRedarmy1945 Did you learn all those nice words from your mother?

You can throw up to your heart's content. There are lots of conditions that can be fixed, but STUPID isn't one of them -- and you're stupid.

Have you ever been to the USA? You might be surprised about this "evil place". Has it ever occurred to you that people from all around the world continue to immigrate in large numbers to this "evil place" but nobody seems to have wanted to immigrate to the Soviet Union or Russia?

[EVZYL]

@navy57 A bit of a sweeping statement, I would say! I've travelled to and worked in many countries, and prefer Russia, where I lived for three years, a hundred times to the USA which I experienced as a superficial society, filled with obese materialists.
