youdjin, you said Viipuri is Russian town. You should read European history books instead of Soviet history books to know and learn the facts. Even Soviet Union cant change the history. Have you ever wonder why old buildings in Viipuri doesnt look like Russian build?

[villanovakid84]

Viipuri is Finnish, Breslau and Konigsberg are German. One day these lands will return to their rightful owners whether by diplomatic negotiation or by the force of arms.

@GBOY69GAY I couldn't say it any better myself. Germany had WW2 won until Hitler screwed up, he was actually too soft on the British. The Wehrmacht could have easily conquered England if Hitler had the will to do so. Churchill was an inveterate drunkard puffing on his fat cigar while Europe was being engulfed by the Bolshevik avalanche. In my opinion, Churchill was guilty of the worst crimes under international law.

@StatusFennica

Thanks for interesting videos about Vyborg =)

I think that borders won't be changed. It is unreal now. Why do you think that it is becoming future, I wonder?

[villanovakid84]

@HHHPPP8 Perhaps some Finnish forces did not let refugees pass through their lines, this may have occurred, I do not know for sure.But it was Germany, your ally, that laid waste to your country and conducted a siege of a city with civilians[ this is amoral]. Anyway, I don't want to re-fight WW2. I have no problems with Russia or Russians, I actually like Putin.

[HHHPPP8]

@villanovakid84 But Finland did not allow refugees to flee across the northern part of town.

[villanovakid84]

@HHHPPP8 Finnish forces were north of Leningrad but they did not surround the city. Nor did Finland bomb or shell Leningrad. Mannerheim refused to commit Finnish forces to the siege of Leningrad.Finland even returned all of the relics to the churches on Kihzi Island, the Russian tour guide told me that herself last year when I was in Russia.

[HHHPPP8]

@villanovakid84 But Finland has participated in virtually surrounded Leningrad. The Finnish army has occupied all northern approach to a city and cut off exits from a city in the north.

[villanovakid84]

@azdbio You need to stop blaming Hitler for everything. Hitler let Russia have Poland and the Baltic States, he enabled Stalin to restore the boundaries of the Russian Empire under the Czar.In reality, Hitler fucked Finland because he assigned Finland to the USSR in the Ribbentrop-Moltotov Pact.

[villanovakid84]

@HHHPPP8 Finland did not participate in the blockade of Leningrad, this is a historical falsehood. On the contrary, it was Finland's refusal to participate in the siege of Leningrad that prevented the Germans from conquering city. This is another reason why Russia should return Viipuri to Finland.

[HHHPPP8]

@villanovakid84 Consider that Vyborg is a payment of Finns for participation in the Leningrad Blockade.

[azdbio]

@azdbio And should russains forgive you the attack on Leningrad during the wolrd II war ? How many thousands (or millions of) citizens died because of you and Hitler ?!

[villanovakid84]

@azdbio Then, we can say by your reasoning that large areas of Russia belong to Sweden because these lands were Swedish provinces during the 16 th and 19 th centuries.Again, I have no issues with Russia or Russians and St. Petersburg is one of my favorite cities in the world even though it was built by Swedish and Finnish prisoners. But anyway, I will forgive you for this misdeed.
