Beware the Russian Bear - The USSR & It’s Satellites BRUTAL WW2 Experience

It cannot be denied Lend-Lease was the primary reason Soviet Russia and its Empire survived and pushed back Operation Barbarossa as well as it did in the Second World War.

It must be said while WW2 began in 1937 with the Japanese invasion of the Republic of China, it was Soviet Russia and Nazi Germany who began the European Theater of the Second World War when they invaded Poland.

Western Propaganda detected. Be aware, brothers. ‼‼‼

And Russia is in denial on why most of Eastern Europe hates them.

Stalin's killing policy can be broadly understood by knowing he didn't really trust any class or people, he wanted to kill off adults so they could eventually be replaced by a generation that had only ever known Soviet rule.

Strange that this has so few views... Still, this information is useful for pointing out horrifying it was to live beneath the USSR's thumb.

Western media demonizing Russia 😳. How do you demonize a true demon army. Still is today.

Russian soldiers should not be respected

The way that Stalin treated ukrainians and other nationalities I don't blame them for switching sides

If u support communism in america in 2024 your either a russian bot a far left college kid who’s brain has not developed fully yet, or a 300 lb trump supporter who thinks real news is anything promoted by russia

Aha, are you a historien, I doubt..

Myth #1,,, You left out how many surrendered to the Germans... (Very important stat,)
Rather than get shot by their own Army.....

They ONLY killed 10,000... Hmmm

We will never be able to well understand mentality of Russian people.... Homo Sovieticvs

I just can't. Trash English that can't pronounce words properly.

bUt But buT rUzZia bAd!

Great information. Unfortunately, they are still Brutal. I call the new guy Putler.

We were not the ones carrying guns, but we still suffered the consequences of war. Every night my mother cried silently, and I wondered when we would ever escape this nightmare.

Putin: "Russia will never again be invaded from the West."

We in the West should heed those words.

Hey you forgot about something women not only served as snipers but as tankists air force pilots there a famous air squad called the night witches who did a lot of bombing runs against the nazis in thier old school bi plane po2 aircraft

Even though I accept these figures, the fact is that many armies most likely retired many of its commanding officers either just before the start of the war or with a year of it starting. The fact that the soviets executed many of their generals is really no different to other nations retiring theirs from active service.

So sad about Rosa Shanina, a beautiful young woman with the heart of a lioness. A kindergarten teacher, and a killer. And Lady Death, whose response to the ignorant American press was classic. No Rosie the Riveters: 800,000 Soviet women in combat. Pilots, tankers, snipers . . . and Pavlichenko is a legend: just ask 309 dead Germans. Not quite Finland's "White Death", Simo Hayha, but very impressive.

How many more excuses are you going to make for the Russian hoard, comrade? Oh, maybe the Russian soldiers that became POWs didn't want to go back to the Soviet Union because they were going to be welcomed by Uncle Joe and his ghouls.

no sources?

You think 1.5 millions ALOT....try 12 mill illegals in the same timespan.

Oh please 16 million men with us equipment and supplies russian where screwed

Europe would never have been freed without them. They alone crushed Hitlers Third Reich

I'm baffled by your poor pronunciation of Russian words/names/places (& no, I'm not an American who thinks the Russian capital is named after the green spongy stuff that grows on your roof & a bovine!), & the same for Ukrainian places, which is a little confusing when so many have featured regularly in updates on Russia's vurrent invasion of Ukraine, especially when you're pronunciation of all things connected to the Pacific war, & even nost German words, are so good?! 🤷🏻

Debunking the myth that Russian soldiers shot anyone retreating or running away isn't a complete debunking when this was, in fact, what the soldiers were told, & arresting over 600k for this offence is crazy as they obviously couldn't be convinced to turn around & return to the front, in that moment. "Only" 1% were actually shot but that was 10,000 men who lost their lives, not just a few. As for all of that 600k+ not being shot, Russia couldn't afford to lose over half a million soldiers, but I'm sure they were severely punished. The "quantity over quality" wasn't debunked at all when the losses of Barbarossa led to the deaths of so many trained soldiers that conscripts were thrown in to the fray as the modern equivalent of canon fodder. This is not dissimilar to what we've hearing happen in Ukraine, in battles like Bahkmut, just on a smaller scale, with Russia being the invaders rather than desperately trying to protect their home soil. When soldiers are sent to the front unarmed, told to collect guns from fallen comrades that went in before them, how can you claim that isn't "quantity over quality"?

5 minutes in, what an utter load of bollocks. Absolute horse manure. Waste of time. Checking out and blocking this very weird channel.

Pact vs Alliance - its just a matter of terminology. The Soviets and the Germans had huge amounts of technology sharing , where German tank designers and pilots were trained directly in schools with Russia and the USSR was still supplying vast amounts of raw materials up right until the day of invasion. They were both actively assisting each other in the division of Europe, whose borders they had both agreed upon. its an alliance in all but name, calling it a "myth" displays how little research was done for this video.

Order 227 is real

Most of the Soviet Unions biggest scumbags were Jews.

why does that thumbnail look like the partisan commander from come and see?

Lesson learned: Dont bother trying to succeed in the Soviet regime.

I’m glad you made this the war on the eastern front has largely been forgotten in the west. Without the Soviet Union troops massive sacrifices the Nazis the world might be very different. That should not be forgotten because they weren’t just Russian soldiers

Seems your using data to give statistics. Where did you get them. Can you trust them.

soviet ,, union" isn't Russia.
