Photography is a living witness to the victory of our grandfathers and great-grandfathers! The photograph conveyed all those feelings that overwhelmed the feelings of soldiers in grief and joy! Joy of victory over fascism!

[patriot2]

The Great Victory in photographs is a visual lesson for the whole world about the role of the peoples of the USSR in the war against fascism!

[father tudy-syudy]

The whole world puts Stalinism on a par with fascism, alas, and for many on this site ....

[schonia06rus]

Yes, in this war, the Soviet army proved to be the best!
and the ensuing defeat of the million-strong Quatoon, in a week! proof of that

[Vanek]

Quote: Father Tudy-syudy

The whole world puts Stalinism on a par with fascism, alas, and for many on this site ....

And you, with whom to put on a par?

[g1kk]

The humanity of our soldiers knows no bounds - having gone through all these years through thousands of battles, seeing what the Nazis did on our territory and preserving the human being, not to kill, burn, destroy, but just feed the German population ... For this, it would be necessary person with BIG LETTER. Glory to our fathers and grandfathers for unparalleled courage and unparalleled kindness

[lotus04]

Did the German people think in 41? , about such consequences? Judging by the facts, no. There was not a single bright head that would have put Hitler's brains in place. But this war once again confirmed the truth, to fight against Russia is like suicide. And many have proved this by their example, and it makes no sense to list them. It is possible to destroy Russia only from the inside, to quarrel the peoples, to morally corrupt the youth. So, we also need to make an effort and put these "wild little heads" in place. Revoke licenses from channels that pour slop (anti-moral broadcasts) on the heads of young people. They (the youth), as you know, absorb everything into themselves like a sponge, and let some (it is clear who and who paid for it) shout at every corner that this is censorship, etc. etc. ... No, as they say, the instinct of self-preservation.

[FREGATENKAPITAN]

Did the German people think in 41g. about such consequences?......
They thought about Ukrainian lard, Baku oil, Russian bread ... they shared estates in future German colonies in Russia in advance, they imagined themselves as "supermen" (sorry for the awkwardness) ........
Well, we got the full program from the "subhuman" -Slavs !!!

Glory to the victorious Soviet people who crushed the fascist reptile in its nest !!!!

[Call Sign Half Fifteen]

Passed and liberated all of Europe, what else can I say, Glory to the Heroes !!!

[Ross]

Thanks to the author for the best photos! Happy Victory Day friends!

[Roman Patriot]

Great selection.
Glory to the Heroes of the Last War!

[755962]

Photos as an example to posterity and the younger generation. We have someone to equal! With Victory!

[SectoR]

That's what ended ...
May Our people remember and be proud.
Let them remember and be afraid of whom we are not nice ...
Thanks to the author for all the selection of photos. WELL DONE!

[Chicot 1]

Thanks a lot for this war cycle! Each of the five parts from me is "+".

Happy Victory Day!

[Odessa]

Behind each such photograph is someone’s life, the horror of war and the joy of victory! Thank you for the victory of the veterans! All a happy holiday!

[Cadet787]

There are just not enough words ...

[vetdd]

give GOD to the survivors of health, and to the fallen - ETERNAL MEMORY

[BAT]

No one ever signed on the walls of the Kremlin, but our soldiers signed on the walls of the Reichstag, and once walked around Paris ...
And if necessary, then on the walls of the senates and congresses overseas. And if some hotheads doubt it, then let them respect Bismarck. He warned the Germans ...

[sazhka0]

Sounds good

[Kinsman]

It is so important that our children know our history and these documentary evidence play an important role.

[sazhka0]

Glory!!! I have grandfather Killed near Stalingrad. Hooray!! ALL VETERANS !!! He asked for war .. Sent to X

[stalker1229]

With a Great Victory!

[Kibl]

THE WAR HAS NOT ENDED YET, Fascist regimes remained in Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, USA!

[Bruevich]

You look at the photo. Mostly already mature men. Almost no young.

[public]

By the way, the first photo of the series, tank landing. Well, definitely not the year 1945. the tower at the T-34 model of 1942 looks very much like in August

After the battle in the area of ​​Koenigsberg. German assault gun. I doubt that filming near Koenigsberg was done. what would so many horses do there? and these assault guns then came with side screens.

[11Goor11]

The "humanists" who blather about the "bad" treatment of the civilian population of Germany by our army are stubbornly silent about what the SS troops were doing in our country.
But our troops did not arrange mass burning and shooting.
On the contrary, they supplied the Germans with food.

[Vanek]

About all the photos. What to say? Yes, probably the photos themselves have already said.

You just need to remember what happened in 1939 - 1945. And by all means, everything that depends on us - to prevent this.

Once again

HAPPY VICTORY !!!

[Spartak]

Glory to the People of the Winner!

[alps]

I caught myself looking at these photos to the music of Rammstein, a pretty good accompaniment to these photos.

[AK-74-1]

Great selection of photos. Thanks to the author.
Glory to the people of the winner! I looked at the celebrations and made sure that MY COUNTRY IS ALIVE. Despite any vile myths and legends, despite the betrayal of leaders and liberal minions.

[Patriot]

Dear AK-74. You're right. OUR COUNTRY IS STILL ALIVE
Despite the heroic destructive efforts of the enemies of the people, led by the main enemy - Putin

And today, I would like to Everyone, regardless of whether they are FREE THINKING or still remain Zombie Putin and EDROS Citizens of Russia, Congratulate our main holiday - Victory Day on May 9.
I wish you all happiness, prosperity and peaceful sky!
Yesterday, I was at the festivities in our city of Voronezh. I was fortunate to see several veterans of which I was very pleased. And, I caught myself thinking that these are completely different people. You just think. They went into a mortal battle not with financial incentive, but with absolutely no mercantile motivation
For the motherland.
For their families, etc.
There were even those who voluntarily went with the slogan For Stalin, For Lenin. YOU can imagine that one of our contemporaries went to a mortal battle under the slogans "For Yeltsin", "For Putin", "For Medvedev", "For Chubais or Serdyukov, etc."
NO. NO. And, again, no. And, all because, as my teacher-lieutenant-colonel said, "THE PEOPLE OF WISDOMS IN MOST OF THEIR".
That Great People of the Great Patriotic War saw, or subconsciously felt, that their authorities CREATE, not destroy. He understood and saw that power works for the good of the country, and not for the good of its overseas hoyazeys.
Yes, many of our citizens will object that it was not Stalin with his team who first won the most bloody war in the history of mankind, and then the descendants also revived and restored the country, lifting it from its knees, and this merit belongs to the people themselves.
I WILL AGREE. YES IT IS!
But, at the same time, one should not forget that those Great People went to war completely voluntarily, and then restored the destroyed country with renewed vigor.
And the merit of the authorities, AND WHICH ANY AUTHORITY, consists precisely in gathering the nation together, mobilizing all forces and directing it to the struggle against the external enemy, the restoration of the country or any other ambitious, state-important task. Yes. These People were strong and invincible in many respects because they had completely different values. They had true human values ​​— integrity, decency, lack of an all-devouring passion for enrichment, and not exclusively at their own expense, but at the expense of their neighbors and the state.
Yes. I have to bitterly note the fact that over the past 20 years we have almost completely replaced the value system, imprisoned the nation for consumers, but I still HOPE THAT THE END WILL BE COMING SOON.
In fact, the People of Russia is a Great People.

But, he just needs:
True rulers and not Western puppet protégés
- creators, not destroyers,
-unders of the country and collectors of land, and not persons distributing to the right and left of its territory,
-the true reformers, and not having only talk about reforms, modernization, with only one goal-taking for this purpose another batch of billions of dollars with their further cut.
And you say modernization, reform.
I WANT TO ASK THE GDP ADEPTS: "WHERE IS OUR REFORMED ARMY"?

[public]

it is refurbished. The army is like a guard dog, they want to have a strong, but at the same time low-fat and living on the ground.

[Patriot]

It’s a pity that they see the country today that is being destroyed by the Kremlin thieves liberals led by Putin.

[Patriot 34]

Of the last forces, the guys fought in 1945 so that now we would ruin the country like that (

[Patriot]

Do not fuck up. And they voluntarily surrendered to the foreign authorities - the railway station headed by Putin. After all, now they have completely taken over everything — power, finances, raw materials, factories, factories .... At the same time, they have given us a drink of pseudo-democracy, pseudo-freedom of choice and pseudo-consensus. And sho you still wanted, dear GHOSSIYANS! For that fought for it and ran. You see, they didn’t like the Soviet Union ...

[antikilller55]

Thank you for the photo, who came to us with a sword, he received the snot with this sword. I would like to think this lesson has benefited many. The Red Army Winner really accomplished a feat !!
