On Friday, May 9, President Vladimir Putin of Russia visited Crimea for the first time after its annexation. He arrived at the Crimean port city Sevastopol during the Victory Day celebrations commemorating the triumph over Nazi Germany in World War II with a massive parade of Russian troops and veterans. The annual festivities quickly turned into a festival of Russian rule and a show of military power.

"We were part of Russia then Khruschchev got drunk and gave us away"
lol that's awesome, best way to describe the history of Ukraine in a single sentence.
Well, 'tis true though...
Khruschchev was "the Butcher of Ukraine".
Dude I thought it was Boris Yeltsin lol this dude sign with Ukraine and sup bitched Khrushchev
Hahh yea
Then substitute Kruschchev for Gorbachev and your sentence describes tragedy of ussr
For the record. NO matter what happens on Earth....
Russia will always be portrayed as the bad guy in the WEST.
NO MATTER WHAT!
That's very true.
Russia killed more people then nazi Germany. The Nazi Germany Russia is "proud of" defeting. Russians are the real nazis here
There are no good guys, there never were and never will be. Everyone drives their agenda, everyone has their way of looking at things regardless of your geographical location, ethnic group, political views. Some agree others don't, but universally there is no bottom line.
All we can agree on is that we'll never agree on all.
Call it human nature.
There is a reason Russia is portrayed that way, because it's true. Taking other's land then saying it's your motherland.
Duong Pham crimea was russian all along but it was given away as a gift to ukraine at the fall of the soviet union without the people permission
The people in Crimea look happy. And that is what really matters! The haters will hate.
that's right ..
無窮大 we wont bite woofwoof

Good doggie :). Now.. here's a bone for you, go to a corner and stop biting (killing) people in other places around the world.
Amen to that brother! Slava Otechestvy!!!!!
if i feal great then im ok😀
Where did you find that Pro Maidan guy? It must have been hard to find him in a population where 95% wants to be Russian!
+ctguy591 lol so much despare!! Lol I am european you moron!
+сам sebe )))))) Дурачек.
He's probably not from crimea xD
Rec Helmet;i don,t know but g.soros paid for it.
It's clear that this Pro Maidan guy is not from Sevastopol. Because Victory Day on May 9 was always a great holiday in Sevastopol. It was сelebrated in all Ukraine before 2014. In 2014 Ukraine has became nazi Banderastat.
I remember rallies in Crimea in 1992-1995 against Ukraine. When Khrushev give us to Ukraine, nobody asked us about it, and people didn't know that USSR will fall to pieces. But in 1991 Ukraine became independent with Crimea. But most of Crimean people didn't want to be with Ukraine. My parents took part in this rallies in 1992-1995. Crimea always was pro-russian
Am certain Crimea will suffer all these sanctions equally with Russia

@@mpalmer7800 you truly believe this sanction will last ?
As a soldier, there's nothing else like gathering with a bunch of old comrades, getting drunk, singing about the good old days and remembering old friends who aren't with us anymore.
then WHY did Putin ape Hitler's EXACT same plan to take Austria and the Sudentland?
Plus, nationalism is NAZISM.
Hope all of them are in garbage bags now. 😁😁😁😁
Feel like the “remembering old friends who aren’t with us anymore” is becoming more and more relevant in Russia.
this wouldn't be possible without the total support from the locals.
“Total support” 100% of the inhabitants voted to join Russia. That is so obviously fake, it’s on North Korea’s level of insanity. This is just Russia, illegally annexing territory like the Nazis taking the Sudetenland. Crimea is a strategic location for the Russian navy.
? I’ve seen many documentation’s of the area. People are put in by the Russian government to make it look legal and supported. This is part of Russia’s strategy, dissuasion and hybrid warfare. In fact, almost everyone knows that this was a forceful take over. The International Criminal Court (ICC) recognized the take over as ILLEGAL. If Russia really wanted to support democracy they would of taken the territory PEACEFULLY. Negotiating through forums like the UN and meeting with Ukrainian diplomats. But they didn’t. They rather take the strategic location and rally Russians behind nationalism. Russia is the ultimate evil in the fight for human rights, democracy, and territorial sovereignty.
Look at history. Do you remember when Nazi Germany took the Sudetenland? This is similar. Some people welcomed it, but you can’t make the argument that everyone did. And no, the election was not real. It was fabricated, hence why the ICC saw that it was illegal. Your disregard of the ICC and international law is frankly appalling, and indicates the rebellious and brain washed nature of Russians and people like yourself. This was illegal. The election was fabricated. What news sources are you getting this from????? I suggest watching the Dispatch’s from VICE, the journalist was actually kidnapped because he was revealing the military intervention, and the truth behind what Russia is doing in Crimea. Look no further than the history of Russia to see dictatorship after dictatorship, a nation forever under the shackles of corruption and tyranny, as Putin seeks to grab as much territory as possible. Riddle me this, if Putin cared so much of Crimeans, why didn’t he negotiate the exchange of land peacefully WOTH UKRAINIAN DIPLOMATS?!?! He didn’t. It was a forceful annex.
Moscow Cyclist Moscow Cyclist first of all. The Ukrainian law requires a referendum within the country. Your not as stupid to believe that a neighboring country can just take a part of Ukraine right? Secondly, you are wrong. The EU has a policy of non-recognization because, again, IT WAS ILLEGAL. Lastly, the Soviet Union transferee Crimea to Ukraine in a 1954 administrative election. And everyone knows that Russia does not have the right to take it. If Russia took Crimea diplomatically it would be one thing, but they didn’t. Also, let’s try to cite sources so we can argue on a base of evidence.
Sources:
eeas.europa.eu/headquarters/headquarters-Homepage/37464/eu-non-recognition-policy-crimea-and-sevastopol-fact-sheet_en
www.wilsoncenter.org/publication/why-did-russia-give-away-crimea-sixty-years-ago
Moscow Cyclist that’s exactly my point. Russia is an aggressive nation that is frequently in the way of international diplomacy. Ever since the Berlin Wall, Russia has pursued a policy of paranoia and aggression. Your whole argument ran on the idea that this was a completely peaceful endeavor. But it wasn’t. And my point is that everyone knows it. Europe and the US are tied together against the aggressive nature of Russia. Did Russia really have to take Crimea? You think that the reality is what Putin, and Russia tells you, look at the action of all other nations. This is an international act of aggression. This conflict is still ongoing today with more than 3,000 civilian casualties. I also assume you think that Africa belongs to Europe because European nations annexed it, just like the Russian empire did with the Crimean Khanate. Stupid argument. You can apply this broken, faulty logic to all borders today, it doesn’t work that way. Similar to the Sudetenland, just because it was a “fairly annexed land” (again, like Crimea) doesn’t mean you have the right to take it away from a sovereign nation!
Crimea finally returned to Russia. A dream come true 97% of the Crimean population.
This happiness and peace.
Its more 62%
the crimean people look happy so i could care less that the cesspool we call Ukraine lost it.
lol^
no there is no such thing Ukrainian. They are all Russians basically. Even Ukrainians they know this fact.
Butters Stotch Soo basically your saying that you cant mix butter with buttermilk buscuits right ?
***** Your right but i will still disagree and call You stupid because i want to have conversation with you.
use the force Ukraine is Russia. Russia is Ukraine. End of the story. Americans have like 100 years to understand this because their education system is designed and organized to make their people stupid.
where did they find this guy that starts talking around 4 minutes? 97 percent of people decided that this is what they wanted for their region... that is the will of the people... end of story. If putin did not step in, catastrophy that is happening in eastern ukraine would be happening in Crimea also.
The Americans and their sheep will not understand 'democracy' and the 'will of the people' despite the fact that they preach it. They have been living under the delusion of one and subjugated by the plethora of propaganda by their own media after decades of exposure.
In summary, they will never be able to understand that this was a choice by the majority of the people there and not determined by some deposed leader such as those sitting in Kiev, Ukraine at the moment.
alex kuzmenko that is exactly what im thinking, Found some idiot out of the 3 percent that voted negative.. I have cousins living in Crimea and they are saying its rare to even find someone who disagrees with joining Russia, even the Ukrainians who live there.
無窮大 There was nothing democratic about that "election", the Crimean government was taken over by pro-Russians with RPGs and Ak-47s (This was in the Crimean Parliament), and then that illegitimate government along with a deposed leader asked Russia to invade. It did, then this "vote" happened, with tanks in the street. Democracy isn't something that happens at the end of the bayonet. Крымь это не Россия...
That is because they wanted people to see both sides of the story, when they can. They show us the paraade, where you can see all the 97 % of the people who wanted in. And then they managed to find one person, which could tell the other side of the story. And in my opinion, yes he has a few points, but he does seem like he's just a Little butthurt.
becuse 97% is an number that you only got in the sovjet union
in north korea 100% votes for kim jong un are thay an democracy?

Thanks for proving my point, fucktard.
You must understand May 9 is a sacred holiday in Russia, Belarus, Crimea and eastern Ukraine! as for the United States on July 4. Now in Ukraine trying to replace history and turn the holiday into a day of mourning. This causes bad emotions in Donetsk, Lugansk and other cities in eastern Ukraine...
Right? They fought and laid down their lives to defeat fascism and now they cant celebrate in remeberence of that bravery that prevented hitler from taking down most of the world? Yeah i say fuck the fashist bendera pigs. Fashizm ne proidet!
Parades on May 9 is a tradition for Sevastopol. It was every year. For example, 2012 watch?v=vMIK17j5CzQ
Russian troops were participating too. It was our common holiday for Russia and Ukaine before 2014. Now Ukrainians prefer to celebrate Bandera's bithday /watch?v=ajd7X3fVsGw. . In 2014 they have burned police in Mariupol who refused to chase people celebrating May 9. /watch?v=uQ7Dvzk-jDw
They think that Russia's government is less fascist than Ukraine. How naïve.
Russia isn't communist. It's economy actually has less regulation than the US's.
Star Lord Groupie Off course it has less regulations, it's run by KGB mafia oligarchs.
The Russian government came to power in the result of the national elections but not in a massacre as Ukrainian. You don't know the situation in our countries if you say such stupid things.
You're the naive one believing all the propaganda you are exposed to ..
I'm sure you know everything about the Russian government, much more than Russians do.
Whoever edited this, I hope you do a better job next time. Because this is very poorly done. Both quality-wise and also narrative-wise.

just came here for the comments
The obsession with Soviet symbols and propaganda is incredibly concerning. Regardless of that country's role in winning WW2, the Soviet Union was a very bad place.
it reminds people of the strength and greatness of the USSR at that time.
It is 69th Victory Day celebration, and this year is the only time that you guys from the west see it as a threat? It's been like this for years! It is done to show respect to Red Army and to the people of USSR who went through war
They have changed a lot since .. But the basic idea of communism sure beats capitalism .. it's where the 99% actually have power ..
*****
Only if Stalin counts as "the 99%"
John Harrison I'm thinking you know very little about the US, where the homicide rate is far lower than modern day Russia. It's not perfect here, but it's better than Russia ever has been, and that includes during the Soviet Union.
Glad to see the Russian people happy to be part of a country they belonged to from the start
Crimea=ukraine
Ju Toa Crimea has always been Russian
Then I can argue that North Macedonia belongs to Serbia, Bulgaria and Greece as each had some kind of control over the country in the past.
Might as well say that the most eastern of Greece belongs to Bulgaria due to Greece not having de jure control of the region and has a large Slavic population when it gained independence from the Ottoman Empire
"adapt Russian standards" That made me laugh, considering Russia is 105th in quality of life index. There aren't many standards in Russia today.
You should look up Ukraines place on that list of yours -_-
Aras
www.numbeo.com/quality-of-life/rankings_by_country.jsp
You can look up some interesting numbers on Russia there if you wish.
Aras I don't understand how people use Ukraine's old corrupt pro-Russia regime as justification for Russification. Yes they lived in shit conditions and had very low GDP per capita. Yanukovich's assets were astronomical in value.
And they fixed this, they saw what the issue was and attempted fixing it. During the process of setting up a government and receiving EU and US donations they endured further unrest and difficulties in the east.
By continuing to state that Ukrainians live like shit it only solidifies the notion that they should be allowed to rebuild it correctly, without such close Russian ties and with far less corruption.

interesting how vice's tone toward this whole thing changed.
Its not that it changed, VICE always be neutral. ViCE just want us to see from another perspective
Holy fuck people, everyone is claiming this is propaganda in the comment section, The russian supporters says this is western propaganda, and the western supporters says this is russian propaganda. Dont you realise it is because this is in fact not propaganda? In this video, they show how the majority of the people are happy to have joined russia, and it also shows one of the very select few, who aren't happy to have joined russia. And they show his perspective as well. Propaganda, is when someone decide to only show one side of story. I dont know about you Guys, but i certainly got to see the story from both sides.
Well said.
VICE news has shown me both sides well enough.

I'm not trying to weigh in on the Crimean situation by any means, but I would like to say that Western countries should understand that politics and ways of life are different around the world. Many Western countries can't comprehend why African nations are in peril, why Eastern European/Western Asian countries have the mentality they do, or why Middle Eastern countries are the way they are.
Every generation raises and influences the next, and it's going to take more than twenty five years (which marked the end of the Soviet Union) to bring about a significant change in mentality. The only reason a country such as the United States gets upset about anything that happens elsewhere in the world is because it affects their access and control of natural resources, and strategic territories. There isn't any other reason why they would involve themselves in conflicts that otherwise have nothing to do with them.
I've traveled to the Middle East, Eastern Europe, Western Africa, and I've noticed that the people (like everyone else) would like a good way of life, and trade with any country is good for that, but couldn't care less about American involvement in their politics.
Well said. I'd love to have a conversation over a drink with you.

Next up: Poland invades Western Ukraine and occupies Lviv, rightfully reclaiming the city which was Polish for 900 years.
and the kiv reclaiming Russia that was fonded by kiv Rus. and we sweds reclaimining finland and Neva (St petersburg)
Satakarnak Russia was founded by Kievan RUS, but not by Kievan Ukraine. So, if anything Kiev is Russian (Rus).
joh do No, you are a fool and have lapped up Russian revisionist lies. Kievan Rus was a much older civilization than any Russians. Russians adopted the name 'Rus' to make their civilisation appear older. Present day Russia used to be called Muscovy, and their people and culture originate from the Moscow area in around 1300. The Muscovites invaded and colonised the Kiev area only a few quite recently (around 1700), and took Western Ukraine even later (between 1790-1945). Ukraine used to be controlled variously by the Ottoman Empire, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, and the Cossack Hetmanate.
Infinite Jest Wow, you are the one who knows nothing about the history of Rus. Kievan Rus is not older than any Russian civilization and Moscow was part of Kievan Rus, that is not revisionist lie. The Russians kept their capitol at Kiev, because it was close to the Byzantine empire, later Ottoman Empire. Do you even know what the work Ukraine means? It means the outskirts as in the outskirts of Poland. No one in Ukraine called themselves Ukranians until this century. What is now west ukraine is what was robbed and pillaged by everyone your wikipidea mentions including the astro-hungarian empire, which made up the ukraininan language by adding polish words to old Russian that these people were speaking in order to take west Ukraine away from the Russian Empire. There is more to history than throwing wikipedia quotes. Do your research amatuer.
joh do You are a typical Russian apologist/revisionist. Basically nothing you say is even close to true. Why do you keep mentioning Wikipedia? I have plenty of academic books and papers on the history of Central Europe and I don't need some deceitful hyper-nationalistic Russian like you to teach me history.
It's quite interesting that while Ukraine was under Russia's influence, Russia had supremacy in the Black Sea. As soon as Ukraine left Russia's influence, Russia was quick to take Crimea, and by the looks of things, is intending to separate only near-sea regions from Ukraine. (Odessa, Kherson, Nikolaev, Zaporozhie, Donetsk + Lugansk) And *ironically*, the public only in those near-sea regions is more or less pro-Russian.
An Ukraine without access to the sea will be landlocked. (duh) And we all know what's the fate of any landlocked country, especially considering the political and economic crisis inside Ukraine.
Honestly, I love watching master-level geopolitics playing out in real time. You can learn so much about life just by observing.
Dude you're a genius.

Vladimir Putin reminds me of a James Bond villain
He IS Bond.
Vladimir for president of Mankind!
but seriously, that wart though.
The problem with Putin's fantasy is that Russia and Ukraine recognized each others' existence and each others' borders in 1991. Regardless of your feelings about Russians or Ukrainians (and there are both groups on both sides of the issue), or fascists (of which there are plenty on both sides of the issue), or the power of Russia, the US, NATO or the EU, this acceptance by Putin that these territories now belong to Russia fly in the face of international law, and Russia and Ukraine are both parties to international law that strictly address this sort of annexation through proxy factions.
Fuck international law. Over 95% of Crimeans wanted to be with Russia. They can make their own goddamn decisions without asking for permission from the international jewish overlords.
Jack Hoff You are the perfect person to represent them.... Trust me....
95% according to a poll with no electoral oversight. It is not uncommon for votes in the most corrupt, totalitarian states to come out 90% or higher than the status quo, because dissenting voters are discouraged from participating in some cases, and in a lot more, dissenting votes are simply not counted.
As for your antisemitic paranoia, it does nothing to make your argument any more convincing.
I also have the feeling that many of the lower classes of the region chose to side with Russia for economic reasons. Since the nasty 2008 financial crisis many of these people were probably negatively affected and they looked at the positive growth of the Russian economy and wanted a piece of the pie. If Ukraine were richer than Russia I am sure no one would try to call themselves Russian after having been assimilated into Ukraine.
It all makes me wonder why Putin wants Ukraine to begin with. How does he benefit financially? I hope those pro-russian people are making the right decision...
Marvin Julien That's true, but only partially. We resisted ukrainian assimilation for twenty years and remained russians in blood and spirit.
That kind of parades in every town of Russia on 9th of May😀
Not in Ukraine anymore.
wasn't this the place called the zhvev meat grinder?
Parade for Day of the Victory in Sevastopol was every year, it is not a first or last time. Yes, it was bigger than previous years.
Конечно Руслану Зуеву, готовившему резню в Крыму, как и Джемилёву, День Нашей Победы как нож в печень. Понял, что ничего не выйдет. А об агрессии США во всём мире он скромно промолчал.
Especially for a guy at the end of the video, he probably just does not know, but in Sevastopol military parades held each year on May 9. And there is almost always involved soldiers from Russia. It's a tradition. Great speculation, and it is a pity that it is not revealed how many people took to the streets.
Yes, I thought the same!

zomg look at this brutal oocupation!!!!!1111
those girls at 3:32 look absolutely terrified of the drunken russian soldiers parading on their streets!!!!!!11111
NATO *has* to save them!!!!!!!!!
Nah it's fine.. As you can see.. CSTO (Russia and others) already "saved" them from gay propaganda, swearing, Emoes, internet websites of opposition candidates, independent Russian media, etc.
Russian censorship really saves everyone.
Thor Jørgensen What do you speak about? They still have shity ukranian tv
Николай Кулемзин No, the "Crimean Prime Minister" shut down the Ukrainian TV stations in the area, as soon as border checkpoints were made, and started airing Russian TV before the referendum had taken place.
Don't worry! Yatsenyuk has already publicly announced that he will hire mercenaries from out of state to do the job that the majority his forces refuse to do
***** Can you bring me a quote instead of made up stories? Could you give me a video of him saying it?

Crimea is in Russia 🇷🇺 Slava Putin !

I'm really tired of this word "fascist", like it's supposed to end all arguments. Just call someone a fascist and you won the argument against that person.

Очкарик ты прав на все сто! У нас есть флот и армия, не вздумайте нам угрожать!
Maybe come to think about it, that is the sign of an extrovert, in any event I have always from the earliest of ages found it difficult to wander into a restaurant on my own.
And pensions and cost of living?
Goodbye poor Ukraine 🤣🤣
Greeting from Canada 🇨🇦🇷🇺
U live in the best country on earth. Except for that guy Trudeau;)
If the people want to live under Putin then let them, but also make areas for those who do not. Adjust borders as needed.
Syria and Iraq should be similarly divided. Let ethnic groups govern their own peoples.
i'm kinda agree, but i don't think it's that simple. i think putin understands that he will be walking on the edge of the razor if he takes territories in eastern ukraine. the trick with crimea worked as it had autonomy but other territories without autonomy is a big nono... geneva convention bro it's not about what people want
*****
hell yeah! even the states in the US should be annex by the united kingdom, they were once a part of the british empire. or maybe korea town in Los angeles should occupy government buildings and hold a referendum to become a part of south korea, if the people want right?
Crimea is Russian!
It's not

No they don't XD
I wonder how far is the radius of special forces deployed in this occasion.
You are watching too much movies, kid. God bless Russia. Crimea is Russian, and you can't do nothing about that.
Funny fact about History, the Soviet Army was able to beat the Germans thanks to the British and (North)American help. Another funny fact is that similar to the recent Ukrainian revolution (claimed to be a Western involved movement), the people of Russia also kicked once their Ruling Class, thanks to the help of the Germans. Ironies of History.
Mmm sure we all studied history bro, US helped USSR alot with material support but they landed in Normandy after war has been raging for 4 years and Germans suffered huge defeats and were on the retreat...
'' the people of Russia also kicked once their Ruling Class, thanks to the help of the Germans. Ironies of History. '' plz tell me more about this alternative history you have been studying :) if you are referring to russian revolution german troops in fact helped the aristocrats fight the red army back then :P
The German bankers and Goverment sent Lenin in the famous sealed train with a pile of money to depose the tsar (long story short). The Germans gave financial backup to the father of Soviet Russia before and during the Revolution.
Lets just say there is alittle more actual historical evidence for german troops fighting on the side of russian aristocrats against red army than to support your peculiar theory. And even if it were true so what? Germans just created the enemy that would destroy them 35 years later, kinda like US backed mujahedeen in Afganistan during the 80s among them Osama BinLaden :)
PS. well Osama didnt destroy US but you get my drift...
British help was insignificant. US help was not decisive. Russian courage was decisive.
@@AwesomeSkills2010 The Germans thought that a revolution in Russia would weaken their enemy, that is why they financed an agitator and flooded Russia with German mark notes. Having a common enemy creates the strangest alliances, like the US with the Soviets to fight the Germans.
The fact that they praise Stalin degrades any validity their opinions may have had.
Concerning my personal opinion, it is incredibly relevant.
What does determine validity, if not personal opinion?
***** Logic and reason are arguable though, what is common sense to one person may simply be denied by another. To clarify what I meant, I originally had some sympathy for the pro-russian protesters, I still do simply because they are human. However the fact that they praise one of the worst examples of humanity in all of history, has made their cause detestable for me. Logic and reason are fine and well, but only amount to the integrity of a personal opinion. My opinion (or yours, or theirs) might be the most logical and reasonable, but others will always be able to deny it!
Well, it's really difficult to affect the state of an abstract concept! Haha especially, someone else's perception of that concept. An opinion (even formed with logic and reason) will only ever be considered valid if whoever is interpreting it does not disagree. While their cause has remained the same, the fact that they praise a monster such as Stalin diminishes their integrity (in regard to my own experience and knowledge). And since an opinion will only be relevant or valid to those who agree, I don't think we'll be able to accomplish anything with this discussion. LOL
***** Might. So a collection of similar opinions working towards the same goal. (Or one opinion with control of others actions) Can we agree then, that my opinion has the potential to externally affect the validity of another persons? But since, I'm a poor, art student, that probably won't happen. Haha
heh 69 years xD

Who's watching in January 2022 Russia about to invade Ukraine
My prediction came true youtube is my witness.
A glorious day for Russia I have a mixed Russian heritage I wish I was in Crimea celebrating with my half brothers and sisters this great victory we have won
you're mentally ill aren't you
taking back your land isn't occupation
Sneaking troops in Crimea = how?
He just did.
He called it the big parade!
The celebration day!
That is how he got his troops in Crimea
3:54 That's one proper loser.
Erik3E There is no dictatorship in Russia, you don't know what you are talking about.
Erik3E You can... sorta. You can't say "I HATE PUTIN HE SUCKS", but you can say "I think we should do things a little differently and see how things go."
@@leostomicek so rigged elections and limited freedom of speech isnt a dictatorship? If you think so you are the real loser, ukraine deserves their independence after years of oppression of the ukrainian People, just look at the 1930s for example
Leoš Tomíček You’re an idiot
Alaska used to be russian. Fancy some oil Premier Putin?
That would be too much of an American move. Why not, though?
Alaska was purchased from Russia.
Freddie Emory We know, for $7.2m. But putin wants more oil to feed his bears so its a fair claim
True. You can take Putin out of the KGB but you can't take the KGB out of Putin.
What does the KGB have to do with communism? Uh.....idiot!
You can tell the soldiers dont agree with this
War is bad simple is that avoids war so that our earth will be peacefully n good for our generation to comes.learn to love n cooperate to each others,dont be so hateful try to live n love each other so that we could live peacefully in the future.
