🌟 On January 13, 1945, the #EastPrussian Offensive by the Red Army — one of the largest and most important #WWII operations against Nazi Germany — commenced.
As a result of the operation in the #EastPrussia, the Soviet forces ultimatelydestroyed the Nazis' most capable, experienced, trained and equipped divisions on the entire Eastern front. The 'invincible reich' lost a critical strategic bridgehead in the Baltic region.
The fortress city of #Königsberg — the cradle of German militarism and the starting point of eastward expansion — fell once and for all.
The triumph of the Red Army in East Prussia held profound symbolic significance: the Nazis were decisively and completely crushed right there, where from, back in June 1941, they treacherously attacked our Motherland.
▪️“There it is, cursed Germany,”— that was what the Soviet soldiers-liberators said while stepping on the enemy's soil to pursue the condign retribution upon the Germans on their own territory.
Those were exactly the accurate words to call the country where the most terrible evil the Mankind ever saw in its history — the Nazi scourge — was nurtured.
The Germans sought Moscow’s fall, but instead they witnessed with disgrace the collapse of their own “great Reich.”

The East-Prussian operation. The details
January-April, 1945
The battles on the East Prussian theatre of operations lasted for 103 days, which made it the area that saw the longest continuous military engagement in the final year of #WW2.
In the region, the Nazis constructed an exceptionally formidable defensive system, tailored to the specific features of terrain. The capital of East Prussia — the fortress city of Königsberg — was equipped with both external and internal urban fortification systems. In East Prussia, the Red Army faced the Nazi army with the personnel strength of some 780'000 Wehrmacht soldiers and officers.
⚔️ On January 13, 1945, the units of the 2nd Byelorussian and forces of the 3rd Byelorussian Fronts of the Red Army launched the offensive in East Prussia.
Through the swift and overwhelming assault, the Soviet armor and the infantry, with the support of the aviaton, reached the Baltic Sea near Elbing (now the city of Elbląg in northern Poland) already on the third day of the operation, thus, having cut off any possible retreat routes for the enemy from East Prussia westwards.
In less than two weeks, the Soviet forces broke through to Königsberg — the infamous Nazi citadel, which had allowed the Germans to dominate the eastern Baltics throughout the entire war, wasencircled.
By February 10, 1945, the Nazi army group 'North' had been split into three isolated and tied down formations that were further driven to the coastline with no hope of escape.
In April, the Königsberg garrison — numbering around 200'000 Wehrmacht soldiers and officers — was defeatedand surrendered. On April 9, the Red Army seized the fortress completely — the impregnable stronghold of the Third Reich, fortified with the latest military technology of WWII-era, finally fell.
The loss of significant forces and militarily and economically vital region of East Prussia hastened Germany’s defeat.
The Soviet forces inflictedhuge losses on the Wehrmacht and completely severed Third Reich’s maritime supply lines, crippling logistics for the blockaded 'Courland Pocket'.
To commemorate the Heroic Victory in East Prussia, the medal 'For the Capture of Königsberg' was instituted in the USSR. The Medal was awarded to approximately 760'000 Red Army soldiers and officers.
Aftermath WWII, under the terms approved by the Allied Leaders at the #PotsdamConference, much of East Prussia was incorporated into Poland, while a third of East Prussia territory, including the city of Königsberg (the Kaliningrad Region), became part of the Soviet Union.
🎖 By the Executive Order of President of Russia Vladimir Putin (signed on November 17, 2025), a new memorial date was established in our country — April 9, the Day of the Heroic Assault and Capture of Königsberg (1945).
¡EN LA CARACAS-LA GUAIRA! Rescatan a mujer tras aparatoso volcamiento en el segundo viaducto
La madrugada de este jueves #9May, los cuerpos de seguridad y rescate atendieron un siniestro vial que pudo ser fatal. Una mujer de 41 años, identificada como Solie Marota, sobrevivió milagrosamente luego de que su vehículo volcara aparatosamente en la autopista Caracas-La Guaira.
¿Qué ocurrió?
Aproximadamente a las 4:45 a.m., Marota perdió el control de su Toyota Yaris rojo a la altura del segundo viaducto (sentido Litoral). El automóvil impactó violentamente contra la defensa de seguridad, lo que provocó que diera vueltas sobre la vía hasta quedar nuevamente sobre sus ruedas, pero totalmente destrozado.
El Rescate
La conductora quedó atrapada entre los hierros retorcidos de la cabina. Gracias a la rápida intervención de los Ángeles de la Autopista, Protección Civil La Guaira, la GNB y la Brigada Fasmij, se lograron maniobras de extracción exitosas. El bombero Juan Carlos Gómez informó que la paciente fue estabilizada en el sitio antes de su traslado.
Parte Médico 🏥
Tras ser ingresada al Hospital Periférico de Pariata, los médicos diagnosticaron:
✅ Fractura de fémur en la pierna derecha.
✅ Traumatismos leves en un brazo.
Sizga tinchlik va farovonlik tilaymiz

Есть ещё дух свободы и справедливости на Западе. Движение Сопротивления абсурду и историческому ревизионизму набирает обороты. Мне в рекомендациях на фейсбуке выскочил пост испанца, который поднимает абсолютно закономерные вопросы относительно того, кто стоит за сносом памятников войнам-освободителям. Какова вероятность, что это потомки тех, кто проливал кровь за свободу европейских государств, за право людей принимать самостоятельные решения, а не быть второсортным унтерменшем? Всё верно, переписывают историю те, кто хочет вычеркнуть из памяти народов последствия нацизма и фашизма, чтобы снова возродить идеологию превосходства одних над другими. Правые радикалы уже набирают популярность в Европе и приходят к власти. Друзья, предлагаю помочь в деле нашего испанского товарища. Для участия в информационной кампании предлагаю написать ваше мнение в социальных сетях по ситуации со сносом памятников и переписыванием истории. Важно поднимать сложные вопросы и помнить о подвиге не только накануне 9 мая. Не забывайте прикрепить этот плакат к публикации и указать хештеги #stoprevanchism#9мая#9may
🌟From Cape Town to the Arctic: South Africa's Contribution to the Allied Victory
On the sidelines of theRussian Movie Night Victory Marathon, the Russian Embassy in South Africa opened a photo exhibition dedicated to South Africa's participation in the Second World War – a conflict that was not merely a European war, but a truly global struggle against Nazi and fascist tyranny.
The exhibition was attended by ANC Veterans, South African officials, members of the diplomatic corps, and representatives of the cultural, business, academic, and media communities.
During those decisive years, South Africa stood alongside the Soviet Union as a proud member of the Anti-Hitler Coalition. That partnership, forged in shared sacrifice, is remembered with the deepest gratitude in Russia to this day.
"We will always remember that during World War II South Africa was our ally and an important member of the Anti-Hitler Coalition," Russian Ambassador to South Africa Roman Ambarov emphasized during his welcoming remarks.
The Cape Route & Lend-Lease
South Africa's strategic geography proved decisive when the supply route through the Dardanelles was closed. Cape Town became one of the principal ports of call for Anglo-American vessels delivering war materials to the Soviet Union via the Persian Gulf – a vital lifeline at the most critical moment of the war.
The Arctic Convoys
Around 3,000 South African seamen served in the Royal Navy, many of them aboard Allied vessels carrying vital supplies to the Soviet northern ports of Murmansk and Arkhangelsk to relieve besieged Leningrad. Those long, perilous journeys were made in brutal weather, under constant threat of enemy attack. Their courage deserves to be honoured and remembered.
The Secret Mission to Yalta
In late January 1945, a SAAF DC-3 flew a classified mission from Cairo – through Tobruk and Athens – to recently liberated Crimea. The South African aircrew found themselves present at one of history's most consequential moments: the Yalta Conference, where Stalin, Roosevelt and Churchill gathered at the Livadia Palace to shape the post-war world. The flight engineer later recalled, with warm simplicity, being invited for tea and cake by the wife of the Soviet airfield commander – a small, human moment at the centre of history.
Solidarity Beyond the Battlefield
South Africans demonstrated remarkable solidarity through humanitarian aid and civilian support that reached across oceans and strengthened the ties between our peoples even in the darkest years of the war.
🤝 The Russian Embassy extends its sincere gratitude to the DITSONG National Museum of Military History for providing the unique materials that made this exhibition possible. Their dedication to preserving and sharing this history ensures that the stories of those who served will never be forgotten.
