@@bruhwhat5485 no, your grandfather just like mine fought so his people, his family and their entire legacy would survive. Instead what he got was the fall of his nation because of foreign affairs and internal bickering. Then their former allies did what they do best, bolted away to those they had no quarrel with. Said allies have made their choice and now their people are paying for their leaders' decisions both new and old. But i suppose you wouldn't think about it because it's easier to live in ignorance and choose to speak for the dead. P.S. Go spread your sh*t somewhere where it matters and not a youtube video that has nothing to do with it. You disgust me.
@@bruhwhat5485 "And then they use your fight against nazism and for a normal life and reframe it as "denazification", while paying Nazis." - wtf. There are about 200 nationalities in Russia but only the Ukrainian nation is bad and it is being destroyed. Ukraine received nothing from the separatist regions, when, after a week of war, it was offered to recognize them (without reparations and with security guarantees from EU countries)) and abandon NATO (which has grounds, Cuba moment), it abruptly refuses and decides to wage a full-scale war.
@@Wladyslaw_Raginis We are so sorry that we enterrupted your occupation from Germany. But I guess being anihilated slightly worse than join USSR side for 40 years to become free after.
@@blackki540 1. Yes we can all see how Russia treats these 200 nationalities. Did you know that for every confirmed dead ethnic Russian soldier, there are 8 confirmed dead Buryat soldiers? 2. Yes, you cant really denazify while having entities like Rusich group on the government payroll 3. "Abandon NATO" you do realise that NATO is the only thing that, for example, protects the Baltics from a Russian "peacekeeping" mission, like they did in Molvoda in 1992, which resulted in creating the People's Republic of Transnistria, a now dictatorship breakaway republic with Russian soldiers in it? 4. About Cuba - NATO membership doesnt mean nuclear deployment. As seen with Finland, Putin is completely fine with a neighbouring country joining NATO, as long as no nuclear deployment - which Ukraine definetly would agree to and even has publicly agreed to.
I can’t imagine what it must have felt like to go from fighting the worst war in history to trying to return to normal life again. The trauma of that generation will be felt for centuries to come.
Yes, yes it is feels even now. As an example, US has their “Greatest generation”, so do we, Russians and all people of USSR - I think that those people, who were born in 1900-1927-ss was toughest of all our generations. They had their beliefs and ideals, that made them overwhelm death, as we call it. Literally, it is said, that “they conquered death”.
Soviet men does not feel trauma because the battles they fought were honorable. They paid with blood to rid the world of a great evil. American veterans come back with trauma because they are send to murder innocent women and children their warriors are send to generate profits for the corporations.
It feels like many people just don't understand that this song is a soldier's appeal to his murdered comrade. The song is full of sorrow and light sadness mixed with relief from the end of the war. The soldier calls on his dead comrade to stand up, knowing that this can never happen. He asks him: "How can I tell your family that you have been killed? How am I going to stand in front of your heartbroken wife alive? Get up! Take your greatcoat and let's go home! "
Recently, I've been listening to a lot of Soviet World War songs. They have a peculiar property, one that raises them almost to the level of high art. They instill within the listener the pain of a soldier who lost his comrades, they create memories that were never there, they not only like other art make us feel things but make us feel as if we LIVED them. That is beautiful!
i also recomen watching some soviet war films, you just have to ask which are considered one of the best (my example is "Only old men are going to battle", if you will be able to watch it with subtitles of course.) There is plenty of older generation films that not only show the dreadfulness of war, but also teach a lot of different things, how to stay human in such conditions, how to brace your homeland and people who live with you, become as one and fight all as one for the brighter future of next generation. Those were great ideas that are unfortunately not present in modern pop-culture, neither the films nor the propaganda.
You can watch Soviet Storm and Unknown war documentries if you want to learn more about Eastern Front. They are both avaible on CZcams. You can also watch Come And See movie if you want to see how it was like to live in German occupied parts of the USSR (atleast the Belarus). Movie is also on CZcams. But you need an strong stomach...
Моя прабабушка прошла всю войну медсестрой, её рост был 1 метр 50 сантиметров, и она таскала с поля боя здоровых мужиков. Она воевала под Сталинградом, и о ней писали в газетах. Была ранена в бедро и контужена, но из госпиталя сбежала на фронт. Я никогда не забуду ее патриотизма и мужества. My great-grandmother went through the whole war as a nurse, she's height was 4.92, and she pulled very big guys from the battlefield. She fought at Stalingrad, and they wrote about her in the newspapers. She was wounded in the thigh and contused, but fled from the hospital to the front. I will never forget her patriotism and courage.
I remember when my grandmother told me a story…. In the ww her mother (my great grandmother)kept a Russian soldier in her little house in Serbia 🇷🇸 they ate and drank rakija/šlivovic And then the Russian soldier stood up and thanked for the food and the drinks (my great grandmother putted some water in his drinking bottle ) and she asked him where he is going because he only had one shoe on his foot and dirty,broken clothes and he said: Berlin Im inlove with this story of my great grandmother because there we can see that they ( the Russian soldiers )gave everything for their country and their families,they truly were real men and I’m amazed by them…. Greetings to all Russians from Serbia 🇷🇸❤️
maybe you sould learn about what russian soldiers did to german civilians, i have only respect to the soldiers (not of any particular nation) that kept some of their humanity and compassion during the war, war is stupid and so are those that praise the pawns in it
Мой прадед умер во время великой отечественной, оставив после себя дочь и сына - его брат, пацан девятнадцати лет, тоже воевавший, всю жизнь посвятил его детям. Не женился сам, не завел своих детей, а всю молодость воспитывал своих племянников. Они и были его семьёй - и у нас все до сих пор его поминают только добром.
Respect to both of these fallen heros, their names will remain in the hearts of those who treasured them and in the songs of victory they died to achieve.
I don't know man, that whitewashing bleeds away the substance of what is being sung about. There are reasons people go to war. Those reasons are political. There were reasons soviet men and women had to suffer. There were reasons that soviet men and women fought as hard as they did.
It is a peace-loving song, which is fundamentally contradictory to the ideologies linked to imperialism, that is genocidal fascism, monarchism/theocracy/caciquismo/gamonalismo (feudal rule) and the hypocritical liberalism. Only socialism seeks a peaceful world, because it eliminates the cause of wars: class struggle and struggle among the different sections of ruling classes. What WW1 would there have been, had the great powers not sought to subjugate one another's colonial working classes and peasants? What WW2 would there have been, had Nazi fascism not sought to turn whole peoples from proletarians and peasants into slaves for its ruling class? What Vietnam war would there have been, had Yankee imperialism not sought to subjugate the Vietnamese people and exploit their producing classes? And friend, what ideology put a stop to these wars if not the socialist ideology? It can be contrasted with Afghanistan, where Yankee imperialism's war of aggression has been defeated by reactionaries, who are already initiating conflicts with every single one of their neighbors except their ally in social-imperialist China. Soviet Russia did not begin its existence with invading other countries-instead it itself was invaded immediately, even if it meant putting a temporary stop to WW1. Socialist China both defeated Japanese imperialism together with the USSR and United States, and also relegated the Guomindang reactionaries to Taiwan, but it did not invade its neighbors in wars of aggression-instead the revisionists in the USSR initiated border conflicts in the 1960's and the United States threatened to invade through Korea. This song is a socialist song!
@@huggebugg3694 I agree that socialist democracy was replaced with fascism in the USSR, but this was only done after Stalin's death, when socialism was replaced with social-imperialism by Nikita Khrushchov. Mao Tse-tung condemned Khrushchov's government as a dictatorship of the Hitler type, and I believe this is a correct characterization. Khrushchov made revolution a crime once more, and he and his contemporaries and successors became the New Tsars. During WW2 the Communist Party made concessions to the bureaucratic stratum which before then was being combatted, so that this stratum could be won over in the war with the Nazi-fascist hordes. This led to the empowerment of the stratum. Stalin struggled against it after WW2 and was planning to initiate a democratization campaign and the incorporation of the people into the state, but he died before this could be finished, and 3 years after his death Khrushchov came to power through what can only be called a bloodless military coup. He started incarcerating and killing revolutionaries who opposed his revisionism and also committed the 1962 Novocherkassk massacre of striking workers. Khrushchov also put forward the revisionist and fascist theses of the three "peacefuls" and the two "wholes", perverting the Communist Party into a class-collaborationist, reformist party that hailed "peace" with imperialism (that means a peace under bayonets!) and "economic incentives" which meant the erosion of the socialist culture and its replacement by the bourgeois. Khrushchov, Brezhnev and Gorbachov were fascist leaders, and in 1991 their dictatorship was replaced by the liberal-democratic one of Yeltsin, Medvedev and Putin, no less imperialist. Many people confuse the ultra-bureaucratic, fascist and corporativist structure of the Soviet state after 1956 with the socialist and democratic structure before 1956. Stalin is lumped together with the New Tsars, his leadership confused with the Hitler-type dictatorship of fascists, his achievements for the laboring classes confused with the achievements of the ruling class in oppressing the former. The imperialist sphere of influence of the COMECON and Warsaw Pact was established after Stalin's death. Same with the KGB, and the wars of aggression in Hungary, Czechoslovakia and Afghanistan and imperialist proxy wars in Angola, Nicaragua, Ethiopia, Sudan, Tibet(!), DRC, Yemen, etc. etc. etc.

Just when I was thinking why this has a sad tone even thoguh the war has ended and they are going back home, the line "What will I tell your family?" hits
Previously the line "sleep under a plywood star" is the definition of a buried soldier. There was no time to bury most of them so their comrades just dug a grave themselves, filled it with bodies, covered with soil and put this plywood star over them. Thats why many of the graves are lost and why people still find the remains.

We've actually learned that song on our singing school class. I was 14, I'm a native Russian speaker, but I still didn't get it the first rime. When I did get it, that hit me like a train. "Wake up, fellow soldier..." It is almost unbearable to sing thins one.
I remember when i was young my Russian mom was playing this song and always cry. At that time I didn't understand anything because I didn't talk Russian, but right now I'm playing this song and remember my mom...
My great grandfather was a tanker in ww2. My great grandmother told me that he was a very kind and cheerful person but also an alcoholic. He never talked about war to his family but it clearly crushed his soul. When he was drunk his children were not safe around him. Sometimes they had to hide from their own father because he chased them with an axe. He had 8 children. When he was around his late 40's he passed away sitting on a train going home. To be honest I hardly ever think about him since I never met him but THIS song and the thought that his soul is still going home is unbearable. I'm wiping my tears..
And then, the brothers in arms, the same people who fought together, who shared the bread together, who went to Berlin together, are now fighting between them... May the world find a union some day...

When my great grandpa remember war, he always cries. He was a child when it's started. He was sent to concentration camp when he was just 6 years old. He died in 1999. All I know about him is all that my great grandma told me about him. Rest in peace, great grandpa Tolia.
Слава и вечная память каждому погибшему, раненому, труженнику и фронтовику. Нет слов которые могут описать всю важность их жизней и заслуг. Никто не забыт - ничто не забыто.
My grandfather was a Soviet soldier and actually a year too young to join, but he lied about his age to defend his country. Even though, I was born in another country, I still feel a warm feeling hearing old russian songs and deeply respect those brave soldiers.
While I'm certain your grandfather was a good man and obviously had good reasons to join, don't believe the Soviet Army was good. They did devilish things to the German civillans during the "Liberation of the West" and after the war ended. If you have the stomach, you should read up on it. The Rape of Berlin is one of them, they did unspeakable things to women, children and eldery.
Listening to Okudzhava's songs, especially this one, makes me feel to forget everything. It's all over now, why even bother? Let's just take trench coats and let's go home. We deserve some rest, after all.
The Russian army was facing not just the survival of their country, but the complete survival of their people... I couldn't imagine fighting against an enemy whose main goal was the complete ethnic removal of your culture, blood, and people. Only to return to everyday life.
А мы с тобой, брат, из пехоты, А летом лучше, чем зимой. С войной покончили мы счеты, С войной покончили мы счеты, С войной покончили мы счеты, - Бери шинель, пошли домой!

Мой прапрадед, Свежухин Андрей Прокопьевич был санинструктором в 49 А 352 СД 1160 СП. Прошел путь от Москвы и до Смоленской области. Вытащил с поле боя 113 бойцов и командиров с их оружием, за это был награждён Орденом Красного Знамени. 12 августа 1943 во время атаки из строя выбыл командир отделения, он принял командование на себя и повел красноармейцев за собой. Они выбили немцев из передней траншеи, и пошли в атаку на следующую, где завязалась новая драка. В той второй траншее и был смертельно ранен тов. Свежухин, как писали в наградном листе. Умирая, он сказал : "Друзья мои, идите вперёд на немца". За это был награждён Орденом Отечественной Войны первой степени, посмертно.
Эту песню исполняет Булат Окуджава - не только известный советский бард, но ещё поэт и прозаик, участник Великой Отечественной войны. Он также написал небольшую, но невероятно пронзительную повесть "Будь здоров, школяр", в которой описывается жизнь молодого 18-летнего парня, вчерашнего школьника, оказавшегося на войне. Я думаю, эта повесть автобиографична. По тематике и трагичности произведение очень напоминает роман Э. Ремарка "На Западном фронте без перемен". Рекомендую к прочтению. Окуджава открылся с новой стороны для меня. Без слёз читать невозможно.

I cannot fathom the pain and hardships that the peoples, nations, and cultures from the USSR had to endure in WW2 and throughout their history. As someone from the west, I admire these people who defended and defied the spread of Nazism.
Во Второй мировой мир спасли в первую очередь Советские люди - русские, украинцы, грузины, молдоване, латыши, татары, армяне, азербайджанцы, поляки и люди множества других национальностей. Половина, а может и больше, солдат были русские, это факт, но победили они не потому что русские, а потому Красную Армию поддерживала передовая социалистическая экономика - против СССР воевала не только Германия, а почти вся Европа, численно и ресурсно гораздо более сильные чем СССР. Если завтра в США произойдёт социалистическая революция, и её не задавят буржуи, то США из мирового оккупанта превратятся в мирового спасителя.

I have never before thought of this as it was it’s interesting how all the others think of this war as a map with sliding colors and not a constant long human battle it wasn’t their power level or size of army or development it was death of individual young men fighting to stop the cancerous spread of hatred
In my country It is generally accepted, that war is job. The hardest, but sometimes there are times when it needs to be done. Choice between bad and worse.
Tbh the countries on the allied side spread as much hate as the axis sides. Since the allied side won they paint themselves in high morals and we tend to believe it. But the truth is they were as much messed up if not more.
@@ankanbose2621 what a silly thing to say it’s so disconnected from reality nazis would kill you if you’re not aryan it’s that simple the allied forces especially the Soviet Union deserve the utmost respect and Stalin should’ve kept pushing for the execution of all remaining nazis
It's just two ways of looking at it and I can't say that any of them is wrong. Human tragedy is just as big as small compared with whole war. It is horrible that all of these people had to face it, but with out them facing it, it would've been much worse
It was these simple, but incredibly strong-willed men of the Red Army who reached Berlin and won. Not America or another country, it was the Russians who took the victory. 26.6 million people from USSR died during the Second World War

Actually they're supposed to represent dead soldiers, one's who would normally smoke with them, but died in battle. There's other images in a very similar style that follow this idea.
Памятники стоят не просто для красоты, жаль никто этого не понимает, никто даже не задумывается о них, о страданиях что они пережили, смеются над нашими маршами. Парады не для показателя силы, они для памяти, памяти тем, кто сражался за свое существование, буквально идущими в туман по тонкому канату, висящему над пропастью
Destroying war memorial by Ukraine hurt my soul, it's not their fault, they were just souls and died for Nazi ignorance and aggression, you didn't disrespect any russian you disrespected everybody who fought in this war as well as from your country
This is such a beatiful song. Another song I recommend listening to is Dark is the night (Tjomnaja noch/Темная ночь). It is also a soviet ww2 song. It's mostly about what they saw during the war and how they miss their homes and their wives.
Я мало знаю о моём прадеде, но родственники мне рассказали, что он был пехотинцем и участвовал в бое на Курской дуге. Всё же это было больше танковое сражение, чем пехотное. На Курской дуге моего прадеда ранили, и его демобилизовали в 1943 по ранению. Он дожил до Дня Победы, но в 1959 году он умер из-за именно этого ранения во время войны.
наверное, мало кто это увидит, но, советский союз - он на то и союз, что там были Народы, которые жили и умирали вместе, были братьями, не было расизма или чего-либо такого, был Советский народ. Был, к сожалению. Мне 18 лет, и я мечтаю хотя бы мельком увидеть такую нацию, какой была советская.❤
This song reminds me of my cousin who died 3 years ago and all the happy memories and bonding we had when he was alive. Someday we will see each other and have a toast there.
"Take your trench coat" (originally "Vozmi menya za ruku, idem v parizhskie tïomnye alleyi") is an example of a popular Soviet wartime ballad. Written by Dmitry and Daniel Pokrass and performed by Mark Bernes, it became an emblematic song associated with the war. It tells the story of a soldier bidding farewell to his loved one, urging her to keep his trench coat as a symbol of his memory and love, while he heads off to fight. The lyrics reflect the poignant themes of love, separation, and the uncertainty of war. A very powerful peace of art from a bygone time reminding us of the unity and humanity of all people. I hope wherever you are - you are safe and healthy. For the fallen, honor and may their lives their legacy and their sacrifice forever be embedded in our hearts and thoughts as they are in history itself.
If you miss a couple of lines, it's fashionable not to understand the main meaning : "And with you, brother, from the infantry... and you are sleeping with your eyes closed under a plywood star..." (the symbol of the red army on the grave of a friend, a colleague who almost did not live to see the tragedy; the same growth meant that they could be the 1st red army, so that it was easier to find them later, take into account, and so on).".. What will I tell your family, how will I stand in front of the widow"

My grand grandfather was a commander of partisan squad in Belorus during WW2. I didn’t have a chance to meet him as he passed away before I was born. But I made a research and found his military records in archives. He and his squad were making diversions, stopped train with German supplies and even captured a German general. My grandmother (his daughter) says he was tough, but gentle person. Whenever she asked him about war, he didn’t say anything, but she saw pain and tears in his eyes…

We are all wicked children of war. Dude knew war has turned him into a savage, but being one is the only way to survive such hell, because in a war like that, victory means survival.
My great grandpa fought in WW2, he was a tankman on the front lines in the soviet union. I wish he was still alive to tell me all his stories about the war. He survived , but sustained quite some blows to his head which caused his temper to change for the worse. Though he would yell often, he still cared very deeply for his family. Sadly I was too young the last time I saw him, and do not remember him that well except for pictures. I was about a year old when he passed. And my stepmother’s grandpa also fought in WW2, he went to Berlin all by himself. And until the day he died, he received gifts and medals from the government on his birthday & on May 9th.

Yeah like imagine fighting for an imperialist country who wants nothing but to exploit he peoples of everywhere for their own gain and getting little to no recognition and then going back for ww2 after the Germans tired of the strenuous bills and restrictions placed upon them by the British and French and complete humiliation and war guilt of World War One caused them to become on of the most powerful evil nations in the world exploiting and murdering jews Slavs except or Croats and Bosnians and setting up traps after they die in bunker for you to die at on false swoop for some king or queen sitting on their throne and some democratic leader thinking himself a genius for the later liberation of France Luxembourg Belgium Netherlands Denmark Norway and Yugoslavia but not only that they were also ruthless with some captured sending them to be slaughtered by the other nations without proof of being an evil asshole fighting for nothing but the complete fascist domination of Europe.
Only people from the countries of the former republics of the USSR and Germany are able to realize all the pain. Because everyone has dead relatives in this nightmare
The russian cinematography have that statement - early soviet films about 2 World War were so sensual and naturalistic, because actors in these films didn't act, they remembered...
Imagine you fought just to have a normal life, you liberated whole eastern Europe to Berlin, and your memorial gets destroyed.
@@bruhwhat5485 no, your grandfather just like mine fought so his people, his family and their entire legacy would survive. Instead what he got was the fall of his nation because of foreign affairs and internal bickering. Then their former allies did what they do best, bolted away to those they had no quarrel with. Said allies have made their choice and now their people are paying for their leaders' decisions both new and old. But i suppose you wouldn't think about it because it's easier to live in ignorance and choose to speak for the dead.
P.S. Go spread your sh*t somewhere where it matters and not a youtube video that has nothing to do with it. You disgust me.
@@bruhwhat5485 "And then they use your fight against nazism and for a normal life and reframe it as "denazification", while paying Nazis." - wtf. There are about 200 nationalities in Russia but only the Ukrainian nation is bad and it is being destroyed. Ukraine received nothing from the separatist regions, when, after a week of war, it was offered to recognize them (without reparations and with security guarantees from EU countries)) and abandon NATO (which has grounds, Cuba moment), it abruptly refuses and decides to wage a full-scale war.
Sorry but you just liberated your country. You didn't liberate Poland, Baltics, Czechoslovakia, Hungary... You occupied them for 45 years.
@@Wladyslaw_Raginis We are so sorry that we enterrupted your occupation from Germany. But I guess being anihilated slightly worse than join USSR side for 40 years to become free after.
@@blackki540 1. Yes we can all see how Russia treats these 200 nationalities. Did you know that for every confirmed dead ethnic Russian soldier, there are 8 confirmed dead Buryat soldiers?
2. Yes, you cant really denazify while having entities like Rusich group on the government payroll
3. "Abandon NATO" you do realise that NATO is the only thing that, for example, protects the Baltics from a Russian "peacekeeping" mission, like they did in Molvoda in 1992, which resulted in creating the People's Republic of Transnistria, a now dictatorship breakaway republic with Russian soldiers in it?
4. About Cuba - NATO membership doesnt mean nuclear deployment. As seen with Finland, Putin is completely fine with a neighbouring country joining NATO, as long as no nuclear deployment - which Ukraine definetly would agree to and even has publicly agreed to.
I can’t imagine what it must have felt like to go from fighting the worst war in history to trying to return to normal life again.
The trauma of that generation will be felt for centuries to come.
Пф подожди еще не известно что ждет нас самих.
Yes, yes it is feels even now.
As an example, US has their “Greatest generation”, so do we, Russians and all people of USSR - I think that those people, who were born in 1900-1927-ss was toughest of all our generations. They had their beliefs and ideals, that made them overwhelm death, as we call it.
Literally, it is said, that “they conquered death”.
@@user-nn7ni3et5j it makes me sad how few of them are left. We will see the last of them pass very soon.
@@SabreWolferos indeed.
Soviet men does not feel trauma because the battles they fought were honorable. They paid with blood to rid the world of a great evil. American veterans come back with trauma because they are send to murder innocent women and children their warriors are send to generate profits for the corporations.
It feels like many people just don't understand that this song is a soldier's appeal to his murdered comrade. The song is full of sorrow and light sadness mixed with relief from the end of the war. The soldier calls on his dead comrade to stand up, knowing that this can never happen. He asks him: "How can I tell your family that you have been killed? How am I going to stand in front of your heartbroken wife alive? Get up! Take your greatcoat and let's go home! "
Recently, I've been listening to a lot of Soviet World War songs. They have a peculiar property, one that raises them almost to the level of high art. They instill within the listener the pain of a soldier who lost his comrades, they create memories that were never there, they not only like other art make us feel things but make us feel as if we LIVED them. That is beautiful!
You articulated my thoughts well
i also recomen watching some soviet war films, you just have to ask which are considered one of the best (my example is "Only old men are going to battle", if you will be able to watch it with subtitles of course.) There is plenty of older generation films that not only show the dreadfulness of war, but also teach a lot of different things, how to stay human in such conditions, how to brace your homeland and people who live with you, become as one and fight all as one for the brighter future of next generation. Those were great ideas that are unfortunately not present in modern pop-culture, neither the films nor the propaganda.
You can watch Soviet Storm and Unknown war documentries if you want to learn more about Eastern Front. They are both avaible on CZcams. You can also watch Come And See movie if you want to see how it was like to live in German occupied parts of the USSR (atleast the Belarus). Movie is also on CZcams. But you need an strong stomach...

Heroes. Слава они!
There are no ideologies, nations, and countries in this song, just pure human suffering and relief from horrors of war which committed by us humans
I don't know man, that whitewashing bleeds away the substance of what is being sung about.
There are reasons people go to war.
Those reasons are political.
There were reasons soviet men and women had to suffer.
There were reasons that soviet men and women fought as hard as they did.
It is a peace-loving song, which is fundamentally contradictory to the ideologies linked to imperialism, that is genocidal fascism, monarchism/theocracy/caciquismo/gamonalismo (feudal rule) and the hypocritical liberalism. Only socialism seeks a peaceful world, because it eliminates the cause of wars: class struggle and struggle among the different sections of ruling classes. What WW1 would there have been, had the great powers not sought to subjugate one another's colonial working classes and peasants? What WW2 would there have been, had Nazi fascism not sought to turn whole peoples from proletarians and peasants into slaves for its ruling class? What Vietnam war would there have been, had Yankee imperialism not sought to subjugate the Vietnamese people and exploit their producing classes? And friend, what ideology put a stop to these wars if not the socialist ideology? It can be contrasted with Afghanistan, where Yankee imperialism's war of aggression has been defeated by reactionaries, who are already initiating conflicts with every single one of their neighbors except their ally in social-imperialist China. Soviet Russia did not begin its existence with invading other countries-instead it itself was invaded immediately, even if it meant putting a temporary stop to WW1. Socialist China both defeated Japanese imperialism together with the USSR and United States, and also relegated the Guomindang reactionaries to Taiwan, but it did not invade its neighbors in wars of aggression-instead the revisionists in the USSR initiated border conflicts in the 1960's and the United States threatened to invade through Korea.
This song is a socialist song!
@@despa7726Sure the ussr was very peaceful, just so long as you don’t want more democracy ;)
@@huggebugg3694 I agree that socialist democracy was replaced with fascism in the USSR, but this was only done after Stalin's death, when socialism was replaced with social-imperialism by Nikita Khrushchov. Mao Tse-tung condemned Khrushchov's government as a dictatorship of the Hitler type, and I believe this is a correct characterization. Khrushchov made revolution a crime once more, and he and his contemporaries and successors became the New Tsars.
During WW2 the Communist Party made concessions to the bureaucratic stratum which before then was being combatted, so that this stratum could be won over in the war with the Nazi-fascist hordes. This led to the empowerment of the stratum. Stalin struggled against it after WW2 and was planning to initiate a democratization campaign and the incorporation of the people into the state, but he died before this could be finished, and 3 years after his death Khrushchov came to power through what can only be called a bloodless military coup. He started incarcerating and killing revolutionaries who opposed his revisionism and also committed the 1962 Novocherkassk massacre of striking workers. Khrushchov also put forward the revisionist and fascist theses of the three "peacefuls" and the two "wholes", perverting the Communist Party into a class-collaborationist, reformist party that hailed "peace" with imperialism (that means a peace under bayonets!) and "economic incentives" which meant the erosion of the socialist culture and its replacement by the bourgeois.
Khrushchov, Brezhnev and Gorbachov were fascist leaders, and in 1991 their dictatorship was replaced by the liberal-democratic one of Yeltsin, Medvedev and Putin, no less imperialist.
Many people confuse the ultra-bureaucratic, fascist and corporativist structure of the Soviet state after 1956 with the socialist and democratic structure before 1956. Stalin is lumped together with the New Tsars, his leadership confused with the Hitler-type dictatorship of fascists, his achievements for the laboring classes confused with the achievements of the ruling class in oppressing the former. The imperialist sphere of influence of the COMECON and Warsaw Pact was established after Stalin's death. Same with the KGB, and the wars of aggression in Hungary, Czechoslovakia and Afghanistan and imperialist proxy wars in Angola, Nicaragua, Ethiopia, Sudan, Tibet(!), DRC, Yemen, etc. etc. etc.

его друг убит
Previously the line "sleep under a plywood star" is the definition of a buried soldier. There was no time to bury most of them so their comrades just dug a grave themselves, filled it with bodies, covered with soil and put this plywood star over them. Thats why many of the graves are lost and why people still find the remains.

My great grandfather was a tanker in ww2. My great grandmother told me that he was a very kind and cheerful person but also an alcoholic. He never talked about war to his family but it clearly crushed his soul. When he was drunk his children were not safe around him. Sometimes they had to hide from their own father because he chased them with an axe. He had 8 children. When he was around his late 40's he passed away sitting on a train going home.
To be honest I hardly ever think about him since I never met him but THIS song and the thought that his soul is still going home is unbearable.

Вытащил с поле боя 113 бойцов и командиров с их оружием, за это был награждён Орденом Красного Знамени. 12 августа 1943 во время атаки из строя выбыл командир отделения, он принял командование на себя и повел красноармейцев за собой. Они выбили немцев из передней траншеи, и пошли в атаку на следующую, где завязалась новая драка. В той второй траншее и был смертельно ранен тов. Свежухин, как писали в наградном листе.

Эту песню исполняет Булат Окуджава - не только известный советский бард, но ещё поэт и прозаик, участник Великой Отечественной войны. Он также написал небольшую, но невероятно пронзительную повесть "Будь здоров, школяр", в которой описывается жизнь молодого 18-летнего парня, вчерашнего школьника, оказавшегося на войне. Я думаю, эта повесть автобиографична. По тематике и трагичности произведение очень напоминает роман Э. Ремарка "На Западном фронте без перемен".

Во Второй мировой мир спасли в первую очередь Советские люди - русские, украинцы, грузины, молдоване, латыши, татары, армяне, азербайджанцы, поляки и люди множества других национальностей. Половина, а может и больше, солдат были русские, это факт, но победили они не потому что русские, а потому Красную Армию поддерживала передовая социалистическая экономика - против СССР воевала не только Германия, а почти вся Европа, численно и ресурсно гораздо более сильные чем СССР.

I am writing a book about the Eastern front, or the great patriotic war. I would love it if you could give me a little more information, specifically about the bearer of the Red Star in your family.
Это вот то самое ощущение , когда вы вместе с кем-то прошли через что-то большое и сложное. А теперь пора домой. И вот обое идёте каждый сам к себе , с раздумиями

The true liberators of Europe and heroes, I thank you great people, too bad most don't appreciate what you did for them.
The soldiers liberated it, the leaders subjugated it…
@@dannyzero692 This. This is how you describe it. Thank you.
@@dannyzero692 Indeed.
@@dannyzero692 Oh how sad, they took away the freedom to be nazis or business owners. What miserable conditions.
Yeah, too bad they don't get enough creedit for occupying our 15 republics.
bro's channel name is Turkish god Tengri, his profile picture is Prussia Flag and he posted an Soviet song. This is absolute madness.
I have never before thought of this as it was it’s interesting how all the others think of this war as a map with sliding colors and not a constant long human battle it wasn’t their power level or size of army or development it was death of individual young men fighting to stop the cancerous spread of hatred
In my country It is generally accepted, that war is job. The hardest, but sometimes there are times when it needs to be done. Choice between bad and worse.
Tbh the countries on the allied side spread as much hate as the axis sides. Since the allied side won they paint themselves in high morals and we tend to believe it. But the truth is they were as much messed up if not more.
You watching CNN sheep ?
@@ankanbose2621 what a silly thing to say it’s so disconnected from reality nazis would kill you if you’re not aryan it’s that simple the allied forces especially the Soviet Union deserve the utmost respect and Stalin should’ve kept pushing for the execution of all remaining nazis
It's just two ways of looking at it and I can't say that any of them is wrong. Human tragedy is just as big as small compared with whole war. It is horrible that all of these people had to face it, but with out them facing it, it would've been much worse
It was these simple, but incredibly strong-willed men of the Red Army who reached Berlin and won. Not America or another country, it was the Russians who took the victory.
26.6 million people from USSR died during the Second World War
Yes, Russians were majority in the Red Army, but please do not forget the other nationalities that fought alongside
Да неужели? Флаг над рейхстагом водрузили советские солдаты, а не просто russians. Делая акцент на русских солдатах, вы оставляете без внимания подвиг людей из остальных 14 союзных республик.
@@user-lj2bn8id9u поверьте, как никто другой, я знаю, что Россия всегда была огромной многонациональной страной, но под термином "russians" я и имею ввиду всех россиян, если вы не заметили в тексте использованы и другие слова
@@user-lr1bt2kf9t Тобишь всех жителей бывших 15 союзных республик вы причисляете к россиянам? Да и что толку от других слов, речь-то о конкретном предложении, где прямым языком сказано кто одержал победу

Thanks for your serving, Soviet's soldiers.
Looking back, I wish I could just spend even one more day with my grandfather, just sit and talk or watch are favourite westerns. You'll always be in my heart Vic this drink is for you.
I like to see how foreigners listen my fellow's song. Especially at time like this
COMRADE.... What do u think of Ukraine
I still love this song. It was made in the soviet times not in the stupid Russian times
May you emerge victorious again friend. Hopefully with as less loss lof life as possible.

@@tusharnagpal266 oh they will win. Only 9% of the Russian army is in Ukraine so imagine what 50% would do, total chaos
You dont need to even listen to this song to love it. It already is loved.
how can you love a song you have never heard!?!?
@@dispatcher22z20 I had never heard this song but its name, the first second of it was enough for me to love it.
This is probably because the name itself reminds me of the lives lost in the war, who I have a ton of respect for
It's a music reminding of a heart-piercing nostalgia that is trying to be forgotten
I like the lights in the back indicating there are comrades behind him smoking as well clouded by smoke itself because of their numbers.
Actually they're supposed to represent dead soldiers, one's who would normally smoke with them, but died in battle. There's other images in a very similar style that follow this idea.
Памятники стоят не просто для красоты, жаль никто этого не понимает, никто даже не задумывается о них, о страданиях что они пережили, смеются над нашими маршами. Парады не для показателя силы, они для памяти, памяти тем, кто сражался за свое существование, буквально идущими в туман по тонкому канату, висящему над пропастью
Destroying war memorial by Ukraine hurt my soul, it's not their fault, they were just souls and died for Nazi ignorance and aggression, you didn't disrespect any russian you disrespected everybody who fought in this war as well as from your country
Each one of those coats tells a story of a brave man lost to the war, they will not be forgotten
This is such a beatiful song. Another song I recommend listening to is Dark is the night (Tjomnaja noch/Темная ночь). It is also a soviet ww2 song. It's mostly about what they saw during the war and how they miss their homes and their wives.
Я мало знаю о моём прадеде, но родственники мне рассказали, что он был пехотинцем и участвовал в бое на Курской дуге. Всё же это было больше танковое сражение, чем пехотное. На Курской дуге моего прадеда ранили, и его демобилизовали в 1943 по ранению. Он дожил до Дня Победы, но в 1959 году он умер из-за именно этого ранения во время войны.
Мой прадед пропал на этой Курской дуге
Sorgligt beklagar sorgen 😢
Couldn't help but learn this song, thank you for posting this beautiful but sad song, much respect
Низкий поклон нашим воинам-защитникам великой отечественной войны. Вечная светлая память павшим в боях за светлое будущее🎉.
Круто, что такие песни не забывают
наверное, мало кто это увидит, но, советский союз - он на то и союз, что там были Народы, которые жили и умирали вместе, были братьями, не было расизма или чего-либо такого, был Советский народ. Был, к сожалению. Мне 18 лет, и я мечтаю хотя бы мельком увидеть такую нацию, какой была советская.❤
Though ive never been in a war, the song felt like sitting in the rubble of collapsed buildings in a gloomy day hearing the peace anouncement
The painting is quite special, like those soldiers cigrettes are making an ursa Major combining with the stars in sky. Wow
This song reminds me of my cousin who died 3 years ago and all the happy memories and bonding we had when he was alive. Someday we will see each other and have a toast there.
"Take your trench coat" (originally "Vozmi menya za ruku, idem v parizhskie tïomnye alleyi") is an example of a popular Soviet wartime ballad. Written by Dmitry and Daniel Pokrass and performed by Mark Bernes, it became an emblematic song associated with the war. It tells the story of a soldier bidding farewell to his loved one, urging her to keep his trench coat as a symbol of his memory and love, while he heads off to fight. The lyrics reflect the poignant themes of love, separation, and the uncertainty of war.
A very powerful peace of art from a bygone time reminding us of the unity and humanity of all people.
I hope wherever you are - you are safe and healthy.
For the fallen, honor and may their lives their legacy and their sacrifice forever be embedded in our hearts and thoughts as they are in history itself.

Трогательная песня
If you miss a couple of lines, it's fashionable not to understand the main meaning : "And with you, brother, from the infantry... and you are sleeping with your eyes closed under a plywood star..." (the symbol of the red army on the grave of a friend, a colleague who almost did not live to see the tragedy; the same growth meant that they could be the 1st red army, so that it was easier to find them later, take into account, and so on).".. What will I tell your family, how will I stand in front of the widow"
people nowadays don't appreciate what they did for their country and they had to sacrifice a lot of things. and i really appreciate what these Russians did for me and for westerns for liberating europe from facsist. thank you russian people for liberating europe and sacrificing a lot for us
Randomly found this treasure...Wow!!Freakin jackpot
Боже, как же я люблю такие видео и иностранцев в комментариях. Мир не безнадёжен ❤
Вечная память солдатам Великой войны!
You do a great deal, comrade!
Play this at my funeral, else I'm coming back🥺❤️
As russian I can say this is very touching song
Als deutscher kann ich nur das Selbe sagen...
Agreed, as an American.
Exactly right, from Britain
"Is it needed, to vow pointlessly?" made me think to the future imagining my own wedding, just to never see her again.

My grand grandfather was a commander of partisan squad in Belorus during WW2. I didn’t have a chance to meet him as he passed away before I was born. But I made a research and found his military records in archives. He and his squad were making diversions, stopped train with German supplies and even captured a German general. My grandmother (his daughter) says he was tough, but gentle person. Whenever she asked him about war, he didn’t say anything, but she saw pain and tears in his eyes…
So sad that these songs of sadness are once again so relevant 70 years on.
Every moment when I am not with you, I miss you so much...

can't imagine what it's like experiencing a winning outcome from a war in recent history. must be nice for song material
Unfortunately, you will still have the opportunity to experience it all on your own skin. The authorities and corporations of the whole world are dragging all nations by the ears to the slaughter.
There is nothing nice from war

My great grandpa fought in WW2, he was a tankman on the front lines in the soviet union. I wish he was still alive to tell me all his stories about the war. He survived , but sustained quite some blows to his head which caused his temper to change for the worse. Though he would yell often, he still cared very deeply for his family. Sadly I was too young the last time I saw him, and do not remember him that well except for pictures. I was about a year old when he passed. And my stepmother’s grandpa also fought in WW2, he went to Berlin all by himself. And until the day he died, he received gifts and medals from the government on his birthday & on May 9th. May they both rest in peace🙏🏻

So sad that history was destroyed. People really think that they would have lived well under Hitler's occupation.
My russian isn't the best, But since I've listen to this so many times while reading the english version on the bottom I've memorised it. I sang this to my cat the other night.
Reminded me of the Indians who fought on behalf of British India, who were never remembered, not were recognised, in the World War 1
Yeah like imagine fighting for an imperialist country who wants nothing but to exploit he peoples of everywhere for their own gain and getting little to no recognition and then going back for ww2 after the Germans tired of the strenuous bills and restrictions placed upon them by the British and French and complete humiliation and war guilt of World War One caused them to become on of the most powerful evil nations in the world exploiting and murdering jews Slavs except or Croats and Bosnians and setting up traps after they die in bunker for you to die at on false swoop for some king or queen sitting on their throne and some democratic leader thinking himself a genius for the later liberation of France Luxembourg Belgium Netherlands Denmark Norway and Yugoslavia but not only that they were also ruthless with some captured sending them to be slaughtered by the other nations without proof of being an evil asshole fighting for nothing but the complete fascist domination of Europe.
Only people from the countries of the former republics of the USSR and Germany are able to realize all the pain. Because everyone has dead relatives in this nightmare
only people who were there to live the moment*
Только украинцы про это забыли и теперь у них герои ,это нацистские приспешники,которых они прославляют и именно поэтому мы сейчас там воюем
The russian cinematography have that statement - early soviet films about 2 World War were so sensual and naturalistic, because actors in these films didn't act, they remembered...
Да, товарищ.
А на современные фильмы о Великой Отечественной больно и противно смотреть(на большинство).
Лучшая картина Рината Валигамси. Сопричастность вечности, сегодня они курят, а завтра атака и кто то из них покинет этот мир.
