A Russian historian says that during World War II the Germans fought much better than the Russians in all directions, but the Russians managed to achieve victory only at the cost of enormous bloodshed. A journalist tries to object that great wars cannot be won by meat and blood...

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.: "To me, it's [JFK's] most important speech. It's one of the most important speeches in American history; the thing that he did that was so unusual in that speech is he talked to the American people and asked them to put themselves in the shoes of the Russians..." "The zeitgeist of our era was that America had won the war and now we were going to rightfully dominate the peace. And he said something very, very different to Americans that challenged that patriotic assumption: He said, no, it was actually the Russians who won the war. They weakened Hitler and made it possible for us to march into Berlin." "And he talked about the suffering of the Russians during the war and to legitimize their security concerns, which nobody was doing... what he was saying to the Americans is, no, they have legitimate security concerns the same as we do, and we need to understand those things." "And he reminded Americans of the suffering that the Russians had endured, unimaginable suffering. One in seven Russians had been killed during World War II. He asked Americans to imagine that all of the land, all of the cities, all of the towns from the East Coast to Chicago had been leveled to rubble, that the forests and fields had been burned. And he said that's what happened to Russia during the war. That's what they sacrificed for us, and they have legitimate security concerns to make sure that never happens again..." "I'm speaking you today because the world is once again at a very similar crossroads. As in my uncle's time, nuclear tensions are at an extreme and dangerous level. As in his time, we have a unique opportunity not only to diffuse those tensions, but to take a radically different path, a path towards peace."

During the parade in Moscow on May 9th, Russia will celebrate a slightly different victory than Europe - it will celebrate victory in the Great Patriotic War. This is an important distinction, so I thought I'd explain this further. Russia's collective memory separates World War II and the Great Patriotic War (as Soviet, then Russian historians have called it). The Great Patriotic War (GPW) began on 22nd June, 1941 and ended on 9th May, 1945. Russia calls this war "sacred" and draws many of its current narratives from it. Russians are firmly convinced it was solely the USSR that won the war and that only the USSR suffered (or at least suffered the most) in WWII. The "GPW" was a tragedy of an enormous scale to the USSR - it lost 24-27 million of its population, a large part of the country was in ruins, the economy was devastated. A lot of it was actually due to USSR leaders not caring about losses and people's suffering. As we now know, the USSR would not have achieved military advantage and would suffer even more without the help of the Allied powers and the lend-lease program from the United States, although Russia conveniently omits that in its victory day hysterics. Putin has built a Victory cult in Russia during his reign. Some experts call it "victory delirium" (this is a loose translation). Victory has become a cornerstone of the Russian propaganda and a fetish in and of itself. Putin used that rhetoric to justify the Russian invasion into Ukraine - he says Russia is fighting against "Nazis" again, this time in Ukraine. When Russians talk about the war, their motto is "We can repeat that!" - meaning that Russian soldiers can once more march through Europe. You've probably heard Russian propagandist Solovyev's claims to "remain in Berlin this time". This is a true cult of war that militarizes children (see videos attached to this post), omits inconvenient truths and feeds the state propaganda machine. During that parade, Russians will not mourn the millions of victims of the war. They will not strive for peace - they will glorify the "Russian military might" and threaten other countries with missile and nuclear strikes. Russia has perverted a day of remembrance, mourning and reflection into a filthy instrument of state propaganda. 📹: Russian children in Voronezh and Dagestan

Do not be under any illusions that the Russian war against Ukraine is "Putin's war". Russian state propaganda has created a parallel reality in the minds of most of all Russians, where they are not the ones who attacked a neighboring country, destroying entire cities, kidnapping children and killing civilians every day. It's just like during World War II, where ordinary Germans said that Jews were doing well in concentration camps, and after losing and being taken to gas chambers to show what was happening there, they made excuses that "they didn't know." No, they, like the Russians, knew the terrible truth. Russians just convince themselves that it's not so and they are the good guys, and the Ukrainians are the bad guys. Only a military defeat for Russia will bring the bewildered Russians back to reality. And if Russia wins, it will only convince the Russians that their barbaric government is doing everything right and aggression and imperialism will only flourish...

Russian historian Andrei Zubov says that Putin has destroyed everything in Russia, spent all the savings on the war that could have gone toward Russia’s development, and achieved nothing — Russia’s reputation has been ruined. Now, after Putin, Russians face a long and difficult process of recovery, including the restoration of their psyche and the restoration of the economy. He adds that the sooner Russians wake up, the sooner they will be able to get out of the catastrophe.

Everyone loves to talk about “massive Soviet losses” in World War II, but that’s only half the story. After Stalingrad and Kursk, the game flipped. The Red Army started its hunt. By the time of the liberation of Belarus, Germans were dying twice as fast as Russians. In the Minsk pocket alone, about 100,000 German soldiers were surrounded and wiped out. The side that loses always bleeds the most and after 1943, it wasn’t the Russians anymore. In some battles, for every one Russian killed, twenty Germans went down. So, next time someone parrots “Soviets won by throwing bodies,” please remind them that it was Germany that drowned in its own blood.

A Russian blogger shared that many Russians do not realize how many Russian soldiers are dying in the war against Ukraine. "For these two small cities [Pokrovsk and Bakhmut], Russia has already killed 80-100 thousand of its own soldiers. It wasn't Ukraine that killed them, it was Russia," he says.

Returning home from the United States. We had many tasks to accomplish during this visit, and we implemented many of them. I am grateful to everyone who is helping to stop Russian terror and understands that only strength can force Russia to respect rules and adhere to the fundamental principles of the world. Life is built on principles and the rule of law when they cannot be destroyed by violence. That is why unity is so essential—unity among allies, unity of the world—to stop Russia, end this war, and guarantee a true, just peace. A peace that Ukraine desires more than anyone else in the world, and one that will certainly come.

"The one feeling I'll live with for the rest of my life is how I came to Ukraine. I came as an occupier." A soldier with the callsign "Chornyi" was drafted into the Russian army at the beginning of the full-scale invasion. He shared that his commanders had told him the Russians were welcomed in Enerhodar as 'liberators,' but after seeing videos of what was actually happening there, he decided to desert. However, for this, he and five other Russians were sent to the Donetsk direction as a "beacon" - to check whether there were Ukrainian soldiers or not - where they were captured. The Russians, seeing that the soldiers had surrendered, tried to kill them with mortars. In captivity, "Chornyi" decided to join the Russian Volunteer Corps and defend Ukraine, because, as he says, "it is necessary to fight against the current authorities" in Russia. 📹: Suspilne

Russian propagandist Solovyev says that Russia doesn't need to be loved by the West; the West has to fear Russia. According to the Kremlin's mouthpiece, when the West fears Russia, that's "a sign that they realize Russia is strong and that nothing can be done to it," adding it loves Moscow only in times of crisis.

There’s a common belief among Russians that the authorities understand the Russian economy is plunging into the abyss and that it would be easier to let it collapse than to try to fix it, says blogger Pavel Ivanov. Vladimir Boglaev, general director of the Cherepovets Foundry and Mechanical Plant and an economist, confirms the grim state of affairs in Russia.

A Ukrainian historian teaches a Russian that Kyivan Rus is not Russia. I am shocked but Russians think it is the same state. The Russian also thinks that Lviv is an Austrian city, so the historian explains to him that it is a Ukrainian city that was later occupied by the Polish-Lithuanian and Austro-Hungarian states.

A Russian veteran of World War II says that Russia was the first to invade North Prussia, and German troops retreated 200 kilometers without a fight. The Russians attacked civilians who were evacuating, and mass rapes and robberies by the Russians began. Everyone took part - several people stood in line for one woman, and after the rapes, the women were shot, and the Russians shot children en masse. And only after 200 kilometers did Germany stop the Russian advance and fighting began.

Kapotnya Oil Refinery, Moscow. Hundreds of Indian, Vietnamese, Afghan, and Central Asian men in a endless queue for jobs that used to be done by local Russians. The cameraman says it outright: “No local men left.” Official casualty figures are classified by the Kremlin, but Moscow cannot hide the fact that thousands of Russian men are no longer showing up to work. In a city that is 90+% ethnic ("white") Russian and famously hostile to visible migrant labor, mass replacement by foreigners at a strategic refinery is the loudest possible admission that the male workforce has been bled dry at the front. #OSINT #Russia #ManpowerCrisis

🚨Do You Think Russia Doesn't Know Any of this History? 🚨Former British Diplomat Alastair Crooke: What is the AIM of this war for America? 🚨It's the same aim that's been there for NEARLY 200 years: to BREAK UP Russia, to PARTITION it into its SEPARATE PARTS and to STEAL its RESOURCES. We've seen it happens three times now that this war has been waged on Russia. You have to think what Russians feel about this because even during the Second World War, when Russia was an ally fighting the Germans, at some point Britain was supposed to support Russia, provide assistance to Russia who was stuck in Leningrad at that time. And what happened? Well, Churchill whispered to Roosevelt and he said, look, you know, maybe the reserves should be delayed in going there because isn't it better that they just kill more of each other during this time? Isn't that better? Does it really think that this whole war started suddenly on the date that Russia invaded Ukraine after Kiev increased the attacks on Donbas by a factor of 17, the artillery shelling of the civilian areas of Donbas? It was obviously intended to provoke Russia into this attack in order to try and turn it into a NATO-wide conflict against Russia. But the Russians, I mean, you know, they know their history. I mean, unlike us, they do study history. They know their history.

The tragedy of modern Russia. The tragedy of modern Russia is that its leaders have chosen to live in a distorted version of the past. Eminent historian, professor Karl Schlögel provides a devastating analysis of this collective breakdown, arguing that what we see in Ukraine is not a 'Great Patriotic' defense, but a barbaric regression. He reminds us that while other empires chose the painful path of decolonisation, putin’s Russia has surrendered to the 'dead end of empire’, trading its future for the systematic destruction of its neighbour. Professor Karl Schlögel: “It is a low point in the sense that it is not waging a war of defense—not the Great Patriotic War of '41 to '45—a defensive victory. Instead, it is waging a war of aggression that has now lasted longer than the German-Soviet War, involving moments of, well, barbarity, massacres, and war crimes of this nature. Specifically, aiming for the annihilation of a nation—denying Ukraine the right to its own existence and doing so by all means necessary—and the systematic destruction of the foundations of life in Ukraine: the bombardment of cities, the dismantling of cities, leaving cities vulnerable in winter to make them uninhabitable.” Interviewer: “But how do you explain such barbarity—you, who knows the country and its people?” “In my eyes, it is the surrender of the Russian leadership following the end of the Soviet Union. The failure to accept the end of the Soviet Union and to rebuild Russia anew; to lead Russia out of the dead end of empire and to follow the path taken by all great colonial empires—the British, French, Dutch, and so on. This challenge—to bid farewell to the empire and create a post-imperial, modern Russia that is commensurate with the strengths, talents, and the scale of this country—is what the Russian leadership surrendered to after the turbulent 1990s. In a certain way, putin initially represented the hope, the prospect, that there was now a capable man who would lead the country out of that dead end, but the opposite has happened.”

🇺🇦🇷🇺 "CHINA'S SUPPORT MEANS THE WAR WILL CONTINUE FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE" Since the fall of the Soviet Union, the prevailing view in the West has been to consider Russia as an economically struggling empire. Throughout the war, Western analysts have repeatedly promoted the narrative that concessions by Russia are imminent due to economic pressure. Alexander Rahr believes that the support BRICS and China will offer Russia will mean that Putin will be just as uncompromising as the West in his diametrically opposed demands. "My simple analysis would be that on the economic front, the war is being felt in the provinces. It's not happening in the cities, neither in Moscow nor in St. Petersburg. Secondly, very importantly, the war is not between the West and Russia. The BRICS countries are so much economically and psychologically supporting Russia that Russia feels strong. These countries, especially China and India, have returned Russia to the status of great power." Journalist and political scientist, Eurasien Gesellschaft

🚨INTERVIEW: “RUSSIA’S POWER AMBITION DEPENDS ON REBUILDING THE SOVIET SPHERE - AND THAT PLAN NEEDS UKRAINE” "The Russian government, long before Putin, rejected the idea of a unipolar world that was emerging in the 1990s when the United States really ruled supreme on the world arena. To be a real pole in a multipolar world, Russia has to control the resources of what used to be the Soviet Union. Ukraine is the largest after Russia in terms of economic potential and so on and so forth, among the former Soviet republics. The entire model of Russia as one of the poles in a multipolar world wouldn’t work without control over Soviet resources, and without Ukraine, there would be a huge hole in that system. The war didn’t start in 2022. The war started in February 2014 with the Russian annexation of Crimea and the beginning of the war in Eastern Ukraine."
