How dare you call it a unified myth and yet you know that more than 20 million people died, shame
"Unifying myth" your arrogence knows no limite...this correspondant is a bottom dweller.
Exactly what I was saying, how do you call the death of more than 20 million people a unifying myth?
@@alinaswesimutowe9386 By lying about it and what happened after it. Not talking about how Russia was actually allies with the Germans before being attacked and how they started the war themselves with Germans.
@@cyberfunk3793are you saying the loss of life sustained by the USSR is a lie, i don't get?
Did he just call it a "myth"? How long did it take for France to fall?
The great unifying myth?? Did he learn history in school??
Lol 😂 , You guys are becoming hilariously ridiculous
If not for Russia, France would be speaking German now.
2022？No, it is 1941 when all think Russia will lose. 2023? No, it is 1942 when Russia started to mobilize all their resources. 2024 is 1943 when Russians are advancing forward, while 2025(1944) and 2026(1945) will show who wins. History repeats.
Yep, history repeats itself: Soviet Union collapsed 1991.
LoL, where are the Russians gonna be in 2026?? Please explain, they’ve been stuck in eastern Ukraine since the start of 2022, it’s now the middle of 2024! In 2026 The great Russian army will be right where it is now, only difference will be Russians will be even more poor, drunk and miserable.
80 years ago and you trolls think that ruZZia hadn’t changed? 😂

propaganda not worth listening
Yet here you are😂😂😂😂😂
Same here
Myth ???
I think it is rather despicable of you to try and make an anti Putin propaganda piece out of the Russian Victory Day commemoration. It is not a myth that something over 20 million died in that war just as it is not a myth that many British soldiers have lost their lives in service that we commemorate annually on Remembrance Day. I don't expect you to celebrate along with the Russians but you could just ignore it instead of trying to denigrate it.
I wondered whether Ukraine would try to embarrass Putin with a drone attack today but they did not. Maybe they are simply too weak but I like to think that even amidst all the ongoing carnage they thought an attack on such a day was inappropriate.
What a scoundrel,may 9th is not a myth ,is was achieved with 27 million lives .
In a war Russia self was starting with Germans.
And what did you learn? NOTHING!!!
This man is hard to listen to
Zelensky's recruiters kidnapped footballer
Putin's rule? Russia, last time I looked, was a democracy, with a functioning parliament and opposition parties which are not banned as they are in Ukraine.
And Navalny slipped on a banana peel.
@@TacticalFumo-sg2dt RIP Alexey - it was CIA.
Rasputin mum or extremely strong medication.
@@davidchadwick6816 Take it on time.
@@TacticalFumo-sg2dt CIA wa$ providing Navalny with high-quality banana$ for year$.
This guy have been drinking 🍸 😳 🙄
He doesn't sound right in the head 😕
This is the difference between a REAL LEADER in Putin.., and a wannabe in Macron!😂
Macron wannabe Napoleon 😂
What does a real leader do? Send his men to die for profits of elites?
He wants to speak truth but biased steps in the way
The French rooster has laid an egg.
So focused on spinning the reality
Albert Marcel, Lefebvre Marcel, Andre Jacques, Roland de la Poype were awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union. Eternal memory to the legendary French pilots of Normandy Neman, who fought together with Soviet soldiers against the fascist reptile. They did not disgrace the honor of great France. The memory of them is preserved in Russia.
Never underestimate the resolve and strength of Russia and its people, especially when backed into a corner. Something that Napoleon and Hitler learned the hard way.
I urge anyone who is interested to search for a timelapse video called “WW2 everyday with army sizes” to understand the insane sacrifice of human life along the eastern front. All other battles throughout the war, including the western front simply pale in comparison. To say that this sacrifice was a myth is an insult to humanity!
Rubots are saying Russia is a democracy 😂
This is the real Russian democracy, where people are free to choose their president (oké you can only choose one, but that is a detail) and there is freedom of speech. There are no political prisoners and there is free press. Such a great country to live in. Bravo, bravo, bravo.
and they are jealous of Ukraine's Presidential elections...
The west is doomed with analysts like this
You can even hear the pain from this analyst that he knows the reality on the ground but his stupidity and ignorance takes over.
Correction: this is not a myth. That was ignorance or a calculated lie.
Thank God for resurgent Russia under Vladimir Putin
I do not recognize a single person who walks with Pootin ....
... where is Xi ?
i mean, you are stupid it seems, all post USSR presidents are in the footage.
They will meet very soon. They are good friends.
He is in Budapest
I bet you think that Ukraine is a democracy lol
Someone must have some dementia to ask such a question
10:52 WE SHALL SEE. Perhaps in the future, the Russians will be celebrating 2 different victory days in a year.
No...WW2 was won on Omaha beach...i saw the movie.
This guy is understanding the war front situation better than the experts from the king's college London. God bless ukrainians and save them from the war mongers.
Central Europe...Fighting communism since 1870. The reality...
Russian trolls in the comments are trying to convince us that Pootin is not losing in Ukraine .... :)
.... they seem to think that we forgot when they tried to convince us that Kiev will be taken in 3 days .... it was 2 years ago
Прими таблеточки украинец))
No one is trying to convince you pricky facts are facts
No problem mate u can lead your life in lala land happily.
but dont come back again because u cant digest the reality
happy journey dude.
Bye
Ohh it will be taken don't worry
When has Russia ever released a statement saying they would take Kiev in 2 days
Right... What they forgot to mention though is that Russia has been grinding through the heavily fortified since 2014 defensive lines of Ukraine in the areas best fitted for such fortifications, and soon there will be a lot of open spaces lying in front of the Russians.
Pain in their reporting about Putin.
This Guy says it also a myth that Napoleon failed in Russia
I always wonder why we always hear about the casualties in the Russian side but we never hear about the Ukrainian side …
Never forget that the USSR was happy to make deals with Germany. In 1939 Stalin and AH were friends, Russia had no problem with notsees until they got attacked by them
When are elections in Ukraine?
Artillery shells ? Russia produce 3 times faster and more 152 shells than all West can produce 155,, shell combined.
Propagandist channel. I thought they do this only to India. But I see their entire coverage is bogus. I am unsubscribing now. Good bye and never meet me again.
France did not sacrifice a significant number of heroes because they fell shortly after the WW2 started...and stayed there till they were liberated when USSR (and UK to a little extent) eventually won.
Not ashamed even a little bit?
all i'll say is don't forget who helped liberate you from hitler
USA, England, Canada
A celebration of a 80 years ago “war” witch was a slaughter….. thats so odd
Who are those people with Pootin .... not even Xi ?
Xi is visiting Serbia and Hungary now.
You are clueless.
they are heads of states of former Soviet Union.. Xi is in Budapest
@AbyNor. Look, Xi is not Putin's bodyguard.
@@et2709 Yep ... Hungary is much more important than the officially illegitimate dictator of Russia.
The Europeans if they are really united why not represented by one ambassador. This guest is trying his best to down playing the reality on ground the achievements and the industrial production he’s typically English.
They got no hard ware left lol
They forget the wouldn't of beat Germany without our support and that's a fact
With the second front opened in 1944 and Mongolian aid bigger then USA's? Don't fool yourself.
This is one of the stupid analysis of the situation.
So Ukraine will be e russian colony instead of western colony. I don't see why this is such a big deal.
Nobody likes to loose a colony with one of the worlds' best agricultural lands.
In the next 2 year....🤔
Myth?
Again manufacturing consent 😉.
i love how the west has the attitude to dismiss and mock russian history.
it realy gives the idea of what a bunch of shallow clowns western societies have become.
What many people fail to understand is despite Russia is not taking that much territory, the aggressive attrition is taking heavy toil on Ukraine society and Ukraine military strength eg Ukraine have almost run out of his total mobilization and almost totally depend on outsiders for weapons, let assume the war continues for the next 3years with this aggressive pace will discover that 10thousand stronger army will take entire region in few days without much resistance, the territory does not matter much in this conflict
Yes Mother Russia Always WIN .
Supporting Ukraine’s success is Europe’s best security,, NATO will bring peace!
Haha it’s me and a the squealing krembots commenting here.
Russia is the greatest, the greatest.
👀☢️☣️ 🎡
What Victory Day???? Russia din't win anything, Ukraine defeated Germany not Russia. Slavia Ukrainia.
A tyrant who ordered the invasion and extermination of a neighbouring country celebrating the defeat of a tyrant nation that invaded neighbouring countries and exterminated millions 🤦
Silly childish lie . Most likely from a bandera n@zi.
