✝"Ostfront". Threat, punishment, despair, death and collapse! 🔻December 1941. Private A. Foltheimer writes to his wife from near Moscow: "It's hell here. The Russians don't want to leave... Every hour brings terrible news. I beg you, stop writing to me about the silk and rubber boots that I promised you. I am perishing, I will die." 🔻Dreams of trophies were shattered by the tenacity of the Russians, terrible weather conditions, hunger and fatigue. The Blitzkrieg had failed. 🔻General Blumentritt admitted: "The days of the Blitzkrieg are a thing of the past. We were facing an army that, in terms of its combat qualities, was far superior to any other we had ever encountered on the battlefield." 🔻For the Germans, the Eastern Front was not a stroll for silk, but an icy hell, where instead of victories there were death and letters full of horror. History does not forgive arrogance. Photo: Waralbum.ru #WW2 #Russian_culture #brief_and_interesting #Kulibin_and_the_Red_Army 🟠RCR | Support | Boost

• Не забудем, не простим! [ni za-bu-dim, ni pras-tim] We will not forget, we will not forgive! 🔻This slogan appeared 80 years ago, on October 14, 1941, in the headline of a front-line correspondence in the newspaper "Красная Звезда" (Red Star), which spoke about the atrocities of the German occupiers. 🔻For this series the artist received the Stalin Prize. 🔻These are works of great life and artistic truth. This is a moving narrative by the artist, capturing the monstrous atrocities and violence of the German-fascist fiends, the suffering and courage of the Soviet people. #Russian_culture #WW2 #USSR #Russian_Arts 😎RCR | Support | Boost

You Don't Mess Around With Comrade Stalin 🔻During the GPW, the troops under the command of Bagramyan were the first to reach the Baltic Sea. To present this event with more pomp, the general personally filled a bottle with water from the Baltic Sea and ordered his aide to fly to Moscow with this bottle. 🔻However, while he was flying, the Germans counterattacked and pushed Bagramyan away from the Baltic coast. By the time the aide arrived in Moscow, they had already been aware of this. And so, the proud aide entered Stalin's office and grandly proclaimed: "Comrade Stalin, General Bagramyan sends you water from the Baltic!" 🔻Stalin took the bottle, turned it over in his hands for a few seconds, then gave it back to the aide and said: "Give it back to Bagramyan, tell him to pour it back where he took it from." 🔻General Baghramyan carried out the order only two months later and poured the water into the same place. #RussianMilitary #WW2 #brief_and_interesting 😎RCR | Support |Boost

On June 24, 1945, the Victory Parade took place on Red Square, Moscow. 🔻The parade commenced at 10:00 AM with Marshal Georgy Zhukov's entrance on a white horse. Marshal Konstantin Rokossovsky commanded the parade, and they both inspected the troops. 🔻Finding a white horse which was supposed to symbolize the Victory, for Marshal Zhukov was no easy task, but one was found in the NKVD troops. Its name was Кумир (Idol). 🔻The preparations for the parade lasted a month. During this time, Zhukov got used to the horse, and the horse was trained not to be afraid of loud noises. To achieve this, an orchestra was present at the riding practices. 🔻The parade featured combined regiments from ten fronts, the Navy, military academies, and the Moscow garrison, including war heroes and distinguished soldiers. 🔻Key moments included the carrying of 36 battle flags of distinguished units and the symbolic disposal of 200 captured Nazi banners at the foot of Lenin's Mausoleum. 🔻Later, at a reception in the Kremlin, Stalin gave a toast, saying: Our government has made not a few mistakes... Another nation might have said to the government: You have not justified our expectations, go away... But the Russian people did not do that...Thank you, the Soviet people, for the trust... #brief_and_interesting #WW2 #memorible_date #USSR 😎RCR | Support | Boost

Postage stamps dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory depict animals that participated in the Great Patriotic War side-by-side with people, providing invaluable assistance! 🐕 Dogs were true heroes of the front: searching for mines (defusing millions!), pulling the wounded from under fire, serving as messengers, and destroying enemy tanks. Without their courage and devotion, the losses would have been much greater! 🐈Cats saved not only from rats, which were destroying food supplies in besieged Leningrad and museum treasures, but also warned of bombings, becoming true guardian angels for their owners. 🐪 Camels, hardy and unpretentious, hauled cargo across the steppes near Stalingrad when equipment couldn't cope. Mishka and Masha are true legends! 🦌 In the North, reindeer replaced transport, delivering ammunition, food, and evacuating the wounded across impassable snowy expanses. 📎 So, it's not strange they chose to commemorate these wonderful animals which contributed a lot to the Victory! And you know which stamp is my fav:) #VictoryDay #WW2 😎RCRussian | Support | Boost

Аn animated video for the 80th anniversary of Victory Day, bringing memories to life and giving them faces was created by Sberbank. 👍At its heart are the touching lines from Robert Rozhdestvensky'sRequiem, a poem that became the voice of millions and a symbol of personal memory of the war: По́мните! Че́рез века́, че́рез года́, — по́мните! О тех, кто уже́ не придёт никогда́, — по́мните! Remember! Through centuries, through years—remember! Those who will never come again—remember! Не пла́чьте! В го́рле сдержи́те сто́ны, го́рькие сто́ны. Па́мяти па́вших бу́дьте досто́йны! Ве́чно досто́йны! Do not weep! Hold back the sobs in your throat, the bitter sobs. Be worthy of the memory of the fallen! Forever worthy! Лю́ди! Поку́да сердца́ стуча́тся, — по́мните! Како́ю цено́й завоёвано сча́стье, — пожа́луйста, по́мните! People! While hearts still beat—remember! At what cost happiness was won— please, remember! #VictoryDay #WW2 #RussianHistory #poetry 😎RCRussian | Support | Boost

Β 70-х годaх в Зaпaдной Гeрмaнии жил нeмeц, который во врeмя ΒОΒ был у нac в плeну, рaccкaзывaл, что eго внук cвязaлcя c нeонaциcтaми и говоpил: "Дeд, мы додeлаeм то, что вы нe додeлали". Тот eму отвeтил: "Можeшь начинать пpямо ceйчаc, купи билeт и eзжай в Сибиpь - там я eщe много лecа нe допилил". In the 1970s, a German living in West Germany, who had been a prisoner of war in the USSR during WWII, told a story about his grandson. The grandson had become involved with neo-Nazis and said: "Grandpa, we'll finish what you didn't." The grandfather replied: "You can start right now. Buy a ticket and go to Siberia – there's still a lot of wood I didn't cut down there." #retrophotos #WW2 😎RCRussian | Support | Boost
