    That's how it turns out in life - in Spain they erect monuments to those who fought against the Nazis, but they demolish them in Ukraine! World turned upside down. We need to put it back, and in Novorossia the guys really are doing this. God bless them ...

    It is good that in distant Spain the memory of our internationalist remained. And this despite decades of the Franco regime even after the 2nd World War.

    If my memory serves me, then it was with Mansurov that E. Hemingway long and persistently sought a meeting while in Spain. Mansurov categorically did not want to communicate with him, and once, in a conversation with the Spaniards, he called him "a stupid alcoholic." But Hemingway was persistent and the meeting took place. Ham himself later wrote that he left Mamsurov in shock and admiration. But he kept his word given to Mamsurov that he would not write about what they talked about never in their life ... I can confuse what old became sad , memory - to hell recourse ..but it was like that. I apologize in advance for misinformation, if that hi ...

    Look, the Spaniards have not forgotten our common Heroes. They did not forget the gesture "but pasaran", which their grandfathers used when fighting the Nazis. It is all the more a sin for us to forget. Thanks for the memory, Spain!

    Well, let the Baltic states look and think about what kind of cattle they are ... The Spaniards remember and respect the exploits of the Soviet people, and do not demolish, but erect monuments to Soviet soldiers ...

    What the Spaniards emphasize is that a tribute to the Soviet soldier is given at a time when the European Union is sending slops to the Soviet and Russian people ... Thank them, and the warrior - eternal memory ...

      I put you a plus.
      But I wanted to intercede for the "pribalts". Who is their president? Right! Emigrant from America. Ordinary people who dreamed of a noble life found themselves running errands for those who were defeated by their fathers and grandfathers. Simple Balts remember their past life. As soon as the nationalists came to power, democracy ended.

        By "welcome ..." I meant exactly all the rot that crawled out of all the holes and demolished monuments to Soviet soldiers, distorting history ...

        PS For laughs, Latvia could be blamed for the fact that the Latvian arrows at one time contributed to the overthrow of the regime in Russia ...

      There were volunteers in Spain. In Ukraine and the Baltic there was a regular army. They helped in Spain. In Ukraine and the Baltic states they did their duty. Now feel the difference.
      It is painful to realize that, a Soviet soldier saved the ancestors of the current Scheetiny, who do not remember relatives.
