Stalin's radio broadcast to the Soviet people (3 July 1941) [Subtitled]

- In the pre-dawn hours of 22 June 1941, German army and aviation detachments numbering more than 3.8 million men-in-arms crossed the frontier of occupied Poland to initiate “Operation Barbarossa,” Adolf Hitler’s master plan to vanquish the USSR and secure total mastery over the European continent.
The invasion could not have come at a worse time for Stalin’s Russia. Caught in a period of institutional transition and still reeling from the bloodletting unleashed by the 1937-38 purge of the officer corps, the Soviet military was disastrously unprepared for war. The attack caught the country’s military commanders, citizens, and political leaders by complete surprise.
In the days and weeks that followed the launch of the invasion, Red Army and Red Air Force units melted away. Chaos reigned along a front stretching for more than 1,000 miles between the Baltic States and the shores of the Black Sea. Within less than two weeks, advance units of the German Wehrmacht had occupied the territories of Lithuania and Latvia, captured the city of Minsk, moved into central Russia, and made rapid progress toward the key agricultural and industrial centers of Ukraine. In the process, they killed or captured hundreds of thousands of Red Army soldiers.
Worse yet, the USSR’s military collapse was accompanied by political paralysis. The country’s “Great Leader,” Josef Stalin, had disappeared…
Historical accounts of Stalin’s activities from 22 June until the first days of July differ. Some have claimed the Soviet dictator was seized by panic and fled to his suburban summer home (dacha / дача) where he took comfort in a drunken binge - while awaiting arrest and summary execution at the hands of his underlings. Others have argued that the “Boss” (vozhd’ / вождь), though shocked by events, continued working diligently in an effort to undo unfolding disaster. The truth probably lies somewhere in between.
One thing is certain. Soviet citizens would not hear from the “Father of Peoples” until the USSR’s war with Hitler’s Germany was eleven days old.
On 3 July 1941, Josef Stalin re-emerged to deliver a radio address that was broadcast to the entire nation.
This is what Soviet citizens heard that day…

I'm always fascinated by just how thick Stalin's Georgian accent was.
was it? i don't understand russian or georgian
It’s very much known that he has a significant Georgian accent. Every documentary of WWII brings it out when the part of speeches comes.
No accent. The enemy is just implying he is Georgian, not Russian which shows they don't have basic knowledge about different nations in Russian Empire/USSR.
@@kiba3x well, he was georgian and not russian.
Yeah...he sounds like a peanut farmer.
Stalin was surprisingly humble about past conflicts. He did not brag about Russia's victory over napoleon, or grumble about Russian performance in ww1. He even included the French, English, and even Germans when he spoke about napoleons invincible army.
He didn’t brag about it because he spent decades tearing down the achievements of the former Czars. It would be as if Putin invaded modern day USA and Biden would make a speech to his LGBT armies about the achievements of the founding fathers that were straight white males. It would undermine the party platform
Today, he would be jailed for discreditation of Russian army after such speech. In accord with Putin indoctrination, Napoleon was beaten only by Russian army (as well as all the other russian enemies). Not mentioning his ruthless audacity to speak about the ribbentrof-molotov pact. The fact, that USSR started WWII in 1939 as Hitler´s greatest ally by attacking Poland, is in Russia systematicly denied/hidden in these days. Russian kids are just taught, that WWII started in 1941, when Germany attacked USSR.
@@petrholpuch7545world war is conflict of coalitions. Ussr didnt join to axis coalition in 1939. Instead during polish campaign soviet government declared its neutrality (in ww2). Ussr made attempt to join to german coalition in november 1940, but without any result.

@@hatrick3117 true. At least the part that he didn't find it possible to metion pre-revolution Russian victories. You want to know why? Becase those were the victories of Russian nation. And bolsheviks didn't like to show Russian that there are special. Google Korenizatsiia. Bolsheviks did their best to divide Russians into different ethnicities. But it wasn't possible to keep going with this Russophobic rethoric forever. When shit hit the fan and Stalin and other commies realised that people weren't willing to die for their international-bullshit ideology, they prompty uplifted ban on Orthodox church, returned trarist shoulder straps, started to mention victories of Russian nation. Compare this speech with speech from the end of the war when he drank for the well-being of Russian people
To give such optimism, reason and motivation in the face of extreme adversity is not only historic but timeless. Ordinary people doing extraordinary things. How we need that in this day and age.
They didn't exactly have a choice. Had the Nazis won, they would have enslaved every Russian that they could. And if Russians refused to fight, their own government would enslave them in a gulag.
How incredibly ironic that we are indeed seeing such things again - in Kiev and throughout resisting Ukraine - and because of a vicious invasion from Moscow no less. The incredibly heroic legacy of the Great Patriotic War has been so brutally tarnished… Except in thrice-brutalized Ukraine.
Yes we are witnessing the west / NATO just like Hitler with his Nazis invading and taking over Russian lands /Ukraine and Russia rising again to liberate these lands from Ukro Nazis and NATO . Victory will be Russia 's again.
@@jimdake6632You disgust me. The Ukrainian people were some of the bravest defenders of the USSR. What fascistic states are in the place of once truly democratic regimes now represent nothing the Soviet people fought for.

In the West, specially the EEUU, people think that it was the western allies the ones that defeated Germany. They forget about Operation Bagration, the Soviet June 1944 offensive, that broke the back of Nazi Germany and its allies, and that led to its defeat in 1945. D day, and the battle of the Bulge, were just side shows if compared with the massive Soviet offensive.
Stalin tells it to them like it is. "We are loosing horribly, and our Army is suffering tremendously. but there is still hope and resistance if you rise up and defend the homeland" Could put it briefly
Anna Louise Strong, an American journalist who lived in the USSR from 1927, described this speech:
The words with which he began were very significant.
“Comrades! Citizens!” he said, as he has said often. Then he added, “Brothers and Sisters!” It was the first time Stalin ever used in public those close family words. To everyone who heard them, those words meant that the situation was very serious, that they must now face the ultimate test together and that they must all be closer and dearer to each other than they had ever been before. It meant that Stalin wanted to put a supporting arm across their shoulders, giving them strength for the task they had to do. This task was nothing less than to accept in their own bodies the shock of the most hellish assault of history, to withstand it, to break it, and by breaking it save the world. They knew they had to do it, and Stalin knew they would.
For several minutes after Stalin had finished the silence continued. Then a motherly-looking woman said, “He works so hard, I wonder when he finds time to sleep. I am worried about his health.”
That was the way that Stalin took the Soviet people into the test of war.
he was fortunate that war make his atrocieties pale in comparison
@@mateuszmazurek7991 His "atrocities" were fabricated to smear the name of a great leader. As Marshal Zhukov wisely said, "We liberated Europe from fascism and they will never forgive us for it."
He knew if they didn’t fight for him , Stalinism was over. It wasn’t out of love but self preservation. Many Ukrainians welcomed the Germans at first because they suffered under Stalin’s regime
@@briandelaney9710 This is fascinating to see Fascist propaganda being spread on CZcams.
@@briandelaney9710many more Ukrainians resisted the German invaders anyway they could.
This is no typical inspirational speech, it's a call to action to people whose lives and livelihoods are about to be destroyed, for some in a matter of days and others in a matter of weeks, until the collapse of the central government; after all, in France it only took one month for the entire country to be subjugated by Germany. By the time of this speech, millions of Soviet citizens had already been absorbed by Nazi Germany's advance. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and hundreds of planes had been lost by this point, and if the country failed to fully mobilize now, they wouldn't survive Blitzkrieg. The world's first workers' state would have been swiftly relegated to the dustbin of history and the bulwark against fascism in the world would disappear. The heroism and self-sacrifice of the Soviet people in response to this dire threat against themselves and the world is almost unparalleled in world history. There are few times in history that a whole nation so fully mobilized itself, reorienting all aspects of everyday life for defense against an invader. Their contributions to the defense of the progress of human history should be recognized and commended by everyone alive today.

I like the way he identifies the enemy as the fascists, not the Germans in general. The USSR needed to buy an extra year and half, that;s why it signed the Non-Aggression Treaty. It had signed one with fascist Italy earlier in the 30s. It would sign a neutrality pact with Japan which allowed them to move troops to the front to blow the fascists away from the walls of Moscow at the close of '41.
Finnaly someone know this fact
Not to mention the fact that the pact gave them a free hand to invade Poland (well, only half of Poland) and Finland (things didn't go so well there) and annex Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, Besarabia, etc., all while supplying Hitler with food, oil and raw materials while he invaded Denmark, Norway, The Netherlands, Belgium, (maybe Luxembourg, not sure) and France. Stalin sent the fascist leader a nice note of congratulations after he had done those wonderful things. Oh, and Stalin continued his good relations with the "Fascist" while they were waging the Battle of Britain, the Battle of the Atlantic, The North Africa campaign, and the Yugoslav and Greek Campaigns.
Stalin was a fink.
@@josephstalin2647 This has been known to any serious historian.
if it wasn't for Hitler's stupidity in wanting to destroy Stalingrad, the German forces would have seized Moscow. Stalingrad was meaningless, and if he listened to his generals they would have both taken Moscow and Great Britain. Bombing London gave the British the chance to rebuild its air forces which save the island nation. 2 mistakes changed the outcome of the war.
@@wxman2003 Ok, Nazi.
so many people hate him or love him, but dont know how his voice was.
only imbecils love him
It's amazing how frank he is talking to his people. It's hard to imagine another leader being so straightforward with the facts during a war they are losing. And still it is a very inspiring speech.
He was very frank to the 20 million killed as the result of his repression.
@@ChristopherMarshburn what does that even mean other then your vague hate for Stalin. I just stated a fact that he was speaking very frank in the speech. The deaths during his time, if they were his responsibility and 20 million as you say have nothing to do with being frank, it was collectivization and a class war with the kulaks. They didnt expect the Kulaks to burn the grain they wanted to use limited machinary for big state run farms and achieve the same gains they got industrially with agriculture but failed. They didnt frankly say we are coming to kill 20 million people. What are you British?
@@Vahe345 no my disgust for Stalin and all he stood for is actually quite specific and based on the historical record.
@@ChristopherMarshburn we are listening to historical fact in this video. Everything else requires serious objective analysis. You have to ask yourself why Stalin has had good and bad images in the world and the west at different points for political reasons and the "facts" are not always presented to you in a clear way. Speak to people who lived under Stalin yourself and you will be surprised how high his approval rating was. Ask the same question of British subjects around the world like in India, Africa, Canada, islands all over. Indigenous populations have been deliberately and systematically culturally and in human terms exterminated or nearly exterminated. The British need to judge themselves more and maybe take down their own Queen Victoria statues before the British make their own judgements about the lands they failed to conquer and control.
@@Vahe345 whatsboutism drinking game
just look at the dictate. he is the leader. he forms questions, and then answering them, he creates a standing point of view for all individuals. he also justifies his tesses, including not only himself as a judge, but also as a matter of historical means and also as a logical proove. he first cracks on all possible arguments which could have overrun his theory, then explains why and tells the message. very much based. i strongly admire him
When germans captured his son, they wanted to trade him for a general, and Stalin said that " cant trade officers for generals". Whatever you think about him and his policies, he really was a true communist, and true to his words.
@@srdjanpapic3464Yes. Why should his son deserve better treatment than the millions of already dead sons? Great leader

"This army, (Wehrmacht) has not yet encountered serious resistance on the continent of Europe". Totally true. No one but the red army could fight them till then. This and the analogy of Napoleon's army failure was like a premonition of what would happen to the germans.
General winter and Hitler stupidity saved Russia
@@Gkm- russians saved themselves and of course the stupid cape hitler.
German Forces got to just 5 miles from Moscow. Reinforced by divisions from Siberia and the Far East, on 5th December the Soviets counter-attacked and drove the Nazi Army into the wastes of Winter. In June 1941, most believed that the fascist Army would succeed in its attack against the Soviet Union, considering how successful they had been before that time.

> Stalin ... was exactly right in his forecast of the defeat of the Nazi armies
In the previous year he forecast the defeat of the Anglo-American imperialism by the then-friendly "great German Armies"...
Stalin was a very complicated personality because on the one hand he was the leader of the communist world system. On the other hand he supported all anti-fascist systems - including the US.
@@alexleibovici4834- Stalin had not yet been double-crossed by Hitler. Then Hitler attacked the Soviet Union despite their peace pact. Stalin had to do a 180.
@@Chainyanker007
I have to jump to Stalin's defense and say that he was not so naïve as to believe in a signature on a piece of paper.
@@alexleibovici4834at the time of polish attack, it looked like Hitler was simply reclaiming europe with German majority.
Danzig was German, sudethenland was German, austria was German.
Seeing a pattern in his claims, Stalin could have thought Hitler to be just a nationalist trying to reclaim German borders.
This idea was probably reinforced when in the ribbentropt pact, Hitler suggested to give slavic half of poland to USSR because of the Slavic majority in the Soviet union.
Stalin skillfully used patriotic themes of defending Mother Russia and defending the Motherland. Most importantly Stalin prepared his people for a long hard bitter fight. The appeal to partisan attacks in the occupied territories became harsh realities for German rear arrea troops. Stalin made appeals to the major ethnic groups in the Soviet Union. People's militia's played big roles in most battles. Stalin was quite humble in his speech admitting the German Army was strong with tanks, warplanes bombing Rusian cities while occupying large areas of the western frontier.. The thing Stalin got right in this speech was his appeal for national mobilization and national resistance. Stalin plainly said the Germans wanted to reintroduce slavery for the Russian people in a new form of tsarism.
Soviet Army political officers did an excellent job of making newspaper articles about Nazi atrocities in the occupied territories. Photographs in newspapers of German atrocities from liberated areas after the battle of Moscow of mass graves, mass hangings, raped women and girls and burned out towns and villages showed no mercy was to be expected from the Nazis. Interviews of survivors in these newspaper articles spoke of harrowing terrible German mass executions, sadistic rape of little girls and old women, and the burning and slaughter of entire villages of people by German troops. These newspaper articles were spread far and wide across thhe Soviet Union and in all the Soviet military units, farms and factory floors. These newspapers just showed the truth of the bestial cruelty of the Nazi's across the entire nation. These political officers with their newspapers did much to unite the Soviet people in their resolve to fight the Germans until the bitter end if need be. Workers in factories typically worked 12 hour shifts. Small boys and women worked many of those shifts to free men to fight at the front. The only thing that mattered to a Soviet citizen was national resistance to the bestial fascist hordes.
Life under communism, while at times harsh, for the most part had improved most of the people's lives. The Russians were better fed, much better educated and literate, had improved medical care, better clothing and housing than under Tsarist times. The Soviet Union was an industrial power in its own right. Hitler changed his opinions about the Soviet soldier during the heavy fighting around Smolensk. Many Soviet soldiers when encircled under the harshest conditions just kept fighting, charged German positions at night fighting with hand to hand combat with sharpened spades, bayonets, grenades and any ammunition they had left. Many Soviet soldiers broke out of these encirclements or becamme partisans. German infantry casualties soared from this ferocious resistance in the summer and autumn of 1941. The Russian mud and winter slowed down the Wehrmacht but the Soviet soldier did all the killing all the way back to Berlin.
"Life was at times harsh under communism" yeah that's the understatement of the century... 😅.
1\3 of the entire population were informants to the Government... That means that if you were living in a family of 6.. 2 of your family members could rat you out to the authorities if you showed any sign less than full patriotic ferver. If you were Ukrainian life was more than a little harsh... Like when Stalin starved 6 million of them a decade before this broadcast. By this time the gulag archipelago was in full swing and forced labor camps of political prisoners were one of the only things allowing sustainment of Soviet goods and production.... Millions of people working for free so the Soviet system could continue and even still shortages were a daily occurrence...
The life under communism was more than a little harsh....
Thanks for sharing this, Scott.
Damm 170 divisions.......Germany really be
Fully mobilizing their Armies....hmm Stalin ain’t wrong after all
Yeah they weren't fucking around for context operation overlord used 7 divisions
As russian I can confirm that there is a little bit terrible in Stalin's voice. And yes, it's terrible to hear this as I understand that we will pay 27 million lives for victory and peace. The war touched every Soviet family and my family. My grandma was in Leningrad at that time, she knows what hunger is. My grandpa fought in the Battle of Kursk. He didn't return. Rest in peace all people who died in this war.
I'm so sorry for hearing that man

Additionally he was really p√ssed at the negations and every leader was at their toes because everyone knew the USSR did the most and sacrificed the most too.
In his own words "the USSR is in ruins" and he demanded harsh reparations as a result.

Although he was a dictator before he comes to the end of his speech, he makes what seems to him and to the Soviet people a "question and answer" situation. He gave analytical answers (yes politically suiting him) but nevertheless you can understand that he knows and understands the questions which are in the average citizen's mind. He tries to make up for past mistakes by this question-answer monologue. He does a chronological explanation, and refers to the allies in the correct way given the fact that when he made the speech the USSR was being beaten on all fronts. He understood the strengths and weaknesses of his people and his forces. No leaders today, eithet democratically elected or not have that capability today, to know their people deeply.

Bro Stalin smart
So strange finally hearing his voice
That was a tough year for the soviets
Good broadcast. Great wartime leader against Fascism
Napoleon: invades russia in winter and loses
Hitler: *im gonna do what's called a noob gamer move*
He didn't invade Russia in the winter. He just took too long and winter arrived.
Neither Napoleon or Hitler invaded in winter but both underestimated how long it will take to march on Moscow and defeat it
A noob did not take half of Europa...
Naloleon invaded Russia in June,dumb ass
Does anyone have a rough estimate as to how many Soviet households had a radio back then? Percentage wise.
There were also very many public loudspeakers.
No matter what they want to say about Stalin,his Leadership prowess played a pivotal role in the Victory over Nazis.He was with the people when the Nazis were closing in,many leaders would have left.He refused to negotiate over his son Yakov whilst he was in Nazi captivity.That was exceptionally Patriot
His voice seems shaky compared to his speech several months later in Red Square on the anniversary of the Revolution.

Look up Lev Bronstein for a fun fact.
Remember what Stalin said in his speech at the Seventh Enlarged Plenum of the E.C.C.I. We are currently living in the darkest era of reaction which he spoke of.
"Genossen! Mitten im Frieden überfällt uns der Feind!"
Слава Великому Советскому Нарду!Слава Великому Сталину!ура!
Иосиф Виссарионович! Благодаря Вам мы выиграли войну! Я родился при Леониде Ильиче! Но уважение к Вам привили мне мои родители! Хрущ-предатель!
The Quality Of recording sounds On 1941 Is Kinda low quality Because the Communication System/ Radio System Is New On those Days.
Scripted Tyler ye ,,...too be honest America also had the same quality of sound
@@SomeOne-oh7cg From what I've listened to, American WW2 broadcasts are ok so long as they're in the studio. As soon as someone comes on from Europe (e.g., Murrow or Shirer) forget about it.
The Peace Pact gave us a year and a half to prepare.... but the perfidious invasion took us by surprise..... uh.....

Why didn't he referred red air force?
Stalin was very firm and that’s what I respected about him you talking about a straight up cold blooded killer that stood on business
Soviet Union is and will be the greatest warrior in human history. She was the only one who was capable and brave enough to face the nazis directly. Soviet Union was born for dreams and blood... she looked cruel and cold blooded, because what she aimed was higher than any of our sights...

they won but they lost 11 millions soldiers & 16 millions civilians ...!
@@enthalpiaentropia7804 Civil people were not LOST, but TORTURED by nazis. That's the reason, why germans run from Soviets and surrended to Americans & Britts...
Spare me ~ Britain had been battling the Nazis for two years (and one year all alone) before the S.U. was dragged into the war. The British people never wavered. And Stalin was supplying the Fascist all that time.
Thomas Propst What the OP meant was that the Soviet Union fought them directly, as in ground combat. While the British people were brave and withstood the german Luftwaffe for a very long time, they never faced the Wehrmacht to the extent the Soviet people and military did, it is simply incomparable, the extent of death, suffering and destruction that occurred on the Eastern Front.
Biggest murders and rapists
this speech unironically saved europe and after that the WORLD of hitler xddddddd
Для советских людей это важная эпохальная речь Сталина!
call your leader "friend"
He had a point
except for his "peace loving country" on the poles baltics and nordics or the finns
Because you put a pacifist meaning into the term peace-loving country. But the Bolsheviks were not pacifists. From their point of view, only detailed preparations for war can bring peace to your country. The more border issues you solve (Poland, Bessarabia, the Baltic), the easier the USSR will face a big war if a hostile coalition draws it into it.

Thank you comrade Stalin and the soviet people.
May all allied soldiers who fell in WWII be remember forever. As an American thank you to the Soviets who sacrificed so much to defeat N Germany
Stalin the great ♥️♥️

Nunca es bueno subestimar al enemigo ni tener un exceso de confianza, Hitler aprendió también esa lección con el coste de millones de personas muertas.Aprendamos del pasado para no cometer los mismos errores en el presente ni en el futuro.Saludos desde España!!.
Igual los soviéticos perdieron como 17 millones de soldados, mientras que los alemanes 3 millones en total 🤣

1943 HERE!!!!
That speech was in the early days of Hitler's invasion with German forces still rapidly advancing towards Moscow, Stalingrad and Leningrad against little or even no resistance. Things look extremely dire for the Soviet Union at the time and the government was already preparing to flee Moscow.
"little or no resistance" - lol. 400,000 Germans were lost until end of 1941. The German soldiers did not even have a tank that could compete with the T34.
@@user-sp4pc8cs7u Utter rubbish. Stop peddling fake history.
I personally knew Germans who had taken part in operation Barbarossa. They all told me they didn't even see any fighting in the first 6 months. They were just advancing forward while the Red Army pulled back. The casualties started to rise enormously middle of 1942 when the Germans had reached Stalingrad and the Red Army began putting up a fight.
The T34 was a cheap knocked together load of junk and was no match for any of the German tanks. Even the Russians will tell you this. The big advantage of the Soviets were their shear numbers of tanks and that they could manufacture them far faster than the Germans. German tank commanders stated that for every Russian tank they took out ten more appeared. In the end German tanks were running out of ammo. and a shortage of fuel didn't help either.
@@mikethespike7579German losses must be looked at according to statistics, and not according to the statements of individual people. According to statistics, daily German losses in 1941 were higher than in 1942. Open the book of Rudiger Overmans and check.
@@Mentol_ There are enough reports of the first 6 months of the invasion. They all clearly tell of the Germans meeting almost no resistance. In most cases Wehrmacht soldiers tell of a walk in the park with hardly any enemy engagement and of finding 100s of soviet tanks and armoured vehicles left abandoned. The Baltic states and many Ukrainians even welcomed them. The Russians were clearly taken by surprise. This misled the German high command to at first think that the Red Army had been vanquished and they only needed to reach and occupy Stalingrad, Lenningrad and Moscow and the war would be over.
I mean they were moving fast from June til about November. Started stalling out in November December right before Moscow before retreating. Then made their furthest advance farther south in the summer fall of 1942. After Stalingrad they never recovered
It's clever, He says we're winning even though we're losing territory every day and the enemy continues to advance
