Russians sent their fleet to protect the Patriots against Redcoats. We also helped the northern states in the Civil War against the south. Russia and USA were close allies for a long time, which has been strongly suppressed. The October Revolution weakened the Russian empire, but strengthened the Leftist revolutionary movements in the Capitalist USA. So during the civil war, the US helped some states like Poland to break off. But it wasnt until the end of WW2 that the US gained total suppremacy on the world stage. Thats when Russia became a competitor. The USSR supplied Europe with cheap resources. Up until then the US was the main supplier of resources for Europe.

[@aleksandarrudic3694]

I guess you can't really be patriotic for a foreign country (unless you are a Serb like I am, and if that country is an Orthodox Slavic country like Russia or Ukraine, but that's a long and tragic story), But... All heroes, all brave and honorable people, friends and enemies, they all have their place in the eternity. If there's Heaven (or Valhalla, I guess), that's where all the heroes sit together and where only bravery and honor count, not the side of the trench they fought in. That's exactly the message of Sabaton music - they don't take sides - they sing about everyone who's loved by the gods of War.

Nobody is allowed to say that USSR started WW2 alongside Hitler by attacking Poland and that they were providing supplies to Germany for the attack on the West. Also, many of the Soviet dead were directly caused by Stalin and his disregard for human life. Remembering wars should be about honoring heros but also about learning from own mistakes. And Russia does ony the first one, ignoring things like enormous material help from USA, Katyn massacre, Warsaw insurrection etc.

@@alexs7189 We have, but there are very questionable decisions made during WW2 by Sweden, it was only militarily neutral but that's where the neutrality stopped. That being said, I do not blame my own country despite that. We were between two military powers that could completely destroy our nation and they would if we ever refused their demands. Regarding our long lasting peace, yeah that is of course fortunate. But which two nations has been at war the most of all other nations in the entire world? Ohh, hello Denmark and Sweden who fought eachother at every opportunity despite gaining very little in terms of territory or wealth. Over 30 wars and several hundred years of being in a state of war between eachother where pauses in actual fighting were simply preparations for the next battle. Yet, despite having the most warlike relationship of all nations, Sweden and Denmark are among the closest and friendliest international relationships to ever exist in present day. Probably second only to the relationship between Sweden and Finland which I really do not think any other international relationship can match. It's interesting how things can turn completely 180 in seemingly no time at all. But yeah, all marches on Moscow have ultimately led to complete disaster and destruction of all attacking forces. The Swedish Carolean army, likely being the most fearsome army at the time, winning battles despite being outnumbered 2-4:1 were pretty much completely destroyed during their march towards Moscow. The russians pay a huge price in blood but they are undoubtedly survivors and that commands respect.

This is a great reaction. Sabaton are better teachers of history than most lecturers in the subject! And in all their songs they bring a feel of the country they are singing of. I love how you highlighted Sabaton's use of male choirs as being a very Russian thing - The male voice choir I was a member of back in the early 80s played host to a Russian male voice choir while they were touring the UK, and this took me right back to then. They capture that Russian male choir sound perfectly. Your adding your voice just enhanced it. It is a very different sound to the one that is most familiar to UK audiences, that of the Welsh male voice choir (and as a bass, I loved the sound - it is deeper!). We learned several of their songs including the anthem, and they several of our repertoire, and on the few combined concerts we gave would do those en-masse - nearly 150 of us on stage. Of course, I only learned the songs musically and as sounds, my brain being stubbornly monolingual - I've sung in Russian, Welsh, Latin, Italian, Dutch, German, and Spanish that I recall, but don't know a word of most of them, and those probably only appropriate to post-concert drinking with other choirs! You would not believe how quickly 150 post-concert dry throats can drink a bar dry!

Unfortunately, many Americans don't know much (if anything) about their own country's efforts and sacrifices in both world wars, so not knowing about Russia isn't really surprising. And I'm American, so this isn't a knock against the US in general, it's a commentary on how little people seem to care about history. You wouldn't believe how little many Americans even know about the Revolutionary War and who the colonies won their independence from to form the US in the first place!

I mean Russia beat Germany almost single handed. Something like 7 out of 10 of the German casualties in the war were on the eastern front. There is a debate on whether Russia could have done it without the supplies provided by the US or the intelligence information provided by the British. Russia’s contribution is often overlooked in the US due to the almost immediate souring in relations after the war. Either way no one should ever downplay the Russian contribution to defeating Germany.

[@maxu.35]

Joseph Stalin himself said something about the war being won with British intelligence, American Steel, and Russian blood.

[@isaiahwelch8066]

I do not think Germany could have been defeated without Lend-Lease. It is what gave both Russia and Britain the materiél both countries needed to hold off Germany, until America entered the war.

[@arismaiden6457]

@@isaiahwelch8066 well that's not actually true. Soviet industry was successfully tranfered behind the Urals soon after the nazi invasion and was able to massively outproduce german war industry. Also the soviets never lost their oil supply. The annual soviet oil production was 25-30 million tons, while the oil delivered via lend lease throughout the whole war was just 2,6 million tons. Red Army had much better artillery pieces, tanks and winter clothing, so they didn't use much the ones sent by the americans. The only part of lend lease that truly helped them were the trucks, the locomotives and the food, since much of their own railway infrastructure was destroyed and they also lacked trucks in big numbers. Surely the lend lease shortened the war by half a year, maybe a whole year. But Russians had already won the war since february 1943 really. Many reasons as to why, but I ll leave that there, because it's going to be a veeery long comment.

[@isaiahwelch8066]

@@arismaiden6457 : Have to disagree. The Germans had better mobility and overall discipline than the Russians did, and the early-war Panzers were heavier than the early-war Russian tanks. They also had more equipment in the field than the Russians -- especially at the beginning of Operation Barbarossa. The Germans also had more and better aircraft than the Russians, having at least 1 escort fighter and 1 heavy fighter (BF-109E, F; FW-190A) that were both better than the Russian Yak-3. The Germans also had air superiority -- and that was the most important. And why was that? Because of Kiev. In 1941, had Guderian ignored Kiev, he could have seized Sevastopol and possibly Moscow by the end of 1941. Point here is, the Russians didn't really beat the Germans, more so than the Germans beat themselves. When Guderian made that decision, all Stalin could do was to desperately cobble together defensive positions hastily, as the Germans had run over and/or destroyed the Russian positions in the Cacausus. With the Russians on the run and little to no artillery or armor that could take on the Germans and their equipment, nor having air superiority, Russia had really no chance at all of stopping Guderian, had he ignored Kiev and bolted towards Moscow. But that decision to turn Army Group Center back, and assist in Kiev's encirclement, is what lost the Eastern Front -- because it gave Stalin time.

[@arismaiden6457]

@@isaiahwelch8066 of course the Wermacht had superior tanks aircraft etc and much better tactics, even local numerical superiority during the first phase of operation Barbarossa. That doesn't change the fact that the Soviets had much bigger reserve forces and much greater industrial output capacity (1500 factories behind the Urals, out of the reach of Luftwaffe). Those two elements were enough to win the war in the long run, together with the emergence of a team of great generals like Zhukov Konev Rokossovsky etc. You see, I was talking about what really did happened in the Eastern Front. And as the real events unfolded, Germans had already lost the war in the East after Stalingrad. They never again had the initiative after 1942 and they were steadily but surely driven back. So again the lend lease, which was delivered mostly after Stalingrad (80% or so was sent to USSR from 1943-1945) didn't change any balance, it just gave the Soviets an extra boost to their advance, which maybe allowed them to reach Berlin a year earlier, but nothing more. You are talking about potential history though. Yes Guderian could ve taken Moscow if he didn't go south to Kiev, but that wasn't just a silly mistake they did by accident or something. The Nazi High Command had totally underestimated not only the red army, but the Soviet Union as a whole. They thought they could take over the whole country to the Urals in a couple of months! "Tear down the door and the rotten structure will fall apart" that was their belief. So when they decided to send Guderian forces to encircle Kiev they didn't think that would cost them at all. They did the same mistake again outside Stalingrad, stretching their lines and creating the perfect conditions for the Soviets to encircle them. But again they didn't think the Red Army was capable of such operations. Plus, even if Guderian had taken Moscow that wouldn't change much in the overall outcome. Moscow was more of a symbolic target unlike Ukraine, Caucasus and the Volga and the war would continue if Moscow fell. The Soviets could still dispatch their Siberian winter divisions and retake Moscow from the exhausted and depleted Germans in the following months anyway, since they knew Japan wouldn't attack them. The only chance for the Germans to win was to capture Volga and the Caucasus, thus solving their huge oil problem and reaching Astrakhan, cutting the supply lines of the Red Army between north and south. Since they failed to secure the oil wealth of Caucasus (lost in Stalingrad) or of the Middle East (lost at El Alamein), they couldn't sustain their war machine for much longer.

My son turned me onto Sabaton. This is a good song. I got to visit Moscow in 1986, very interesting for a Yank. My great grand mother visited, I think, before the Second World War. She was in Leningrad walking battlements somewhere and talking with her guide about some of his oppression... He was pleading with her to stop, saying that people might be listening. The noon cannon at L'Hermitage went off and he dropped to the floor thinking he was being fired on . We had a school girl show us around a school and while in the classes she stood on the party line. While between classrooms she kept asking us about the USA and if it was really like what they were taught. Heck, if anyone studies history at all (and too many don't) they know there was a race to take Berlin between the US with England and the Russian army. So those of us that do study, we know 100% that Russia was integral in winning WWII.

What a good video I liked a lot, in the next you could react to panzerkampf it is a song of sabaton I would love to see your reaction

[@generationxdrummer6764]

As a drummer and musician, I love SABATON, as I have always preferred rock / metal to any other genre of music. Even though I am 46 years old and got to experience the 1980s rock and metal music scene, SABATON is my all time favorite band! As a historian who loves the WWII era more than any other time period in history, I have much respect and admiration for the Russian people and their determined, valiant effort at defeating the Nazis. Defence of Moscow is my #1 played song by SABATON, and I get chill bumps when I hear the guitar solo transition into the Russian national anthem. Though I do not understand the words, the music is gorgeous and full of emotion. I would love to visit Russia one day as a tourist! This, coming from an American who is patriotic, no matter what country is being showcased in one of their songs. One planet, united on our cosmic voyage through space and time!

[@mattphillips2530]

Aren't you from Russian Federation, not USSR? I'm from the USA, not the Confederacy ;-)

[@nigeldepledge3790]

I love your excitement about this song. It's a joy to behold. Sabaton has a gift for taking you back to the time and place about which they're singing. And their knowledge of history is usually excellent. Be assured, though, that not all westerners are ignorant of the Soviet Union's role in WWII. I happen to be a big fan of Lyudmilla Pavlichenko. You'll know who she is.

[@iamironman662]

Fun fact, this song is actually a cover of a Russian artist, who covers Sabaton songs.

[@uria113]

If you want Sabaton songs of other countries, here are a few: Counterstrike (Six Day War from the Israeli perspective) The Last Battle (the battle of Castle Itter in WW2, probably the weirdest battle of WW2) Winged Hussars (charge of the Winged Hussars during the siege of Vienna) Gallipoli (the battle of the Cliffs of Gallipoli in WW1) Coat of Arms (the Greek defence against the Italian invasion in WW2) White Death (Simo Häyhä, a Finnish sniper during the Finnish-Soviet war) Hearts of Iron (the Wehrmacht's 3rd army's defence of civilians during the battle for Berlin in WW2) Honestly, I've yet to hear a bad Sabaton song. Sure, there are some that I like less than others (such as Livgardet), but I cannot recommend Sabaton's songs highly enough.

[@MusicManualsRuNew]

Well, Nastyusha, to say something is not enough to do that much. In general, my 47-year-old man is not inappropriate to cry from your reactions. Because you felt the message so much, not knowing that it was a Russian song. But Sabaton helped you - this band was able to convince the Russians that this is a song about Russians, for Russians and almost .. :-)) in Russian. It is very difficult to believe now that a western rock band will sing something truthful and honest about this war. Thank you for your honest and sincere response! From Russia with Love to you and of course to all Sabaton fans and to the band itself

[@asenka11]

❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@anthonykodaski6161]

There are three things that this Swedish band gets right One historical accuracy Two a history lesson that we all can enjoy And Three pride for the nation the song is about For example 40:1 and The Wing Hussars is Polish pride. Resist and Bite is pride for Belgium. Attack of the dead man, The defense of Moscow, The night witches, etc is Russian pride

[@isaiahwelch8066]

@@anthonykodaski6161 : You can add in 82nd All The Way and Primo Victoria for America, then Fields of Verdun for the French, and even Bismarck and Ghost Division for Germany. No matter what country Sabaton sings about, there is always pride for the men and women who serve, and who have served.

[@AK-American]

I recall Russia siding with hilter at the start but I guess we should not mention that. As an American I'm not a fan of communism. But yes you did spill the most blood I will 100 percent agree there but also Russia fails to tell you in school is that we gave you steel for you tanks thousands of tons of food and enough gun powder for your ammunition. A soviet commander acknowledged that we Americans help Russia wine hint the word allies. We all pulled our weight.

Anastasia, Although relations between the Soviet Union and the United States had been strained in the years before World War II, the U.S.-Soviet alliance of 1941-1945 was marked by a great degree of cooperation and many Americans do acknowledge the fact that without the remarkable efforts of the Soviet Union on the Eastern Front, the United States and Great Britain would have been hard pressed to score a decisive military victory over Nazi Germany.

[@pathfindercl]

"Decisive victory" like What, ¿Stalingrad?¿The Took over of Berlin?

[@isaiahwelch8066]

No -- the decisive victory of D-Day, 1944. Without the Russian military fighting back, winning, and preventing the surrender of Moscow, the western Allies could not have been successful in assaulting "Fortress Europe," nor would the Allies been successful in assaulting Sicily or Italy, let alone beating Rommel in North Africa. What the Russian military did was pull military materiél from the Western Front and North Africa, which could have been used against the US and UK. The only thing I would say is that such a victory was not necessarily a "decisive victory," but rather, a logistical victory. Logistics usually determines battle victories with things like materiél, terrain, space, and time. Russia was able to pin down and delay valuable German men and materiél, thus giving the western Allies the edge they needed to win their battles, and invade Europe, thus making the overall German defeat an inevitability, rather than only a possibility.

[@jean-marcpaganowl8268]

Check out Sabaton Band members describing the song. "Joakim & Pär talk about Defence Of Moscow (pt. 1/3)"

[@rph8083]

"Fighting for Russia" was more likely the slogan of Russian Liberation Army (ROA) - a collaborationist formation, primarily composed of russian volunteers who enlisted into the German Army and led by a former Red Army general Andrey Vlasov. He played an important role in the defence of Moscow, but was later captured during the Soviet counter-offensive in May 1942 by Germans and agreed to collaborate with Nazi Germany forming and chairing the Committee for the Liberation of the Peoples of Russia. Just wanted to make clear, that defending side in the Battle of Moscow was Soviet Union and not Russia as some rewriters of history are trying to depict.

[@wildylupous]

But after this was Rzhev and 1.2 millions of young Russians dead cause of Stalin's Moscow obsession.

[@akersjon278]

Yes I agree, this is a good anthem for the brave soldiers of mother Russia, for all the men and women that lay down their lives to defeat Hitler. But for me the song that best describes the Russian bravery and "can do" spirit during WW2 is still "Night witches. I especially love their longer animated story video version of this song (7: 22min). Now that is some REAL Russian girl power right there!!

I'm American, and I know very well what Russia did during WWII. Without the Eastern Front, the D-Day invasion and the taking back of Western Europe would not have been possible. And I also know the terrible price Russia paid for its defense. I understand that the U.S. and Russia have a very uncomfortable relationship, but there's no denying the contribution that Russia made during WWII.

"From Kazachstan to Magadan" is a russian saying for Stalins recrute of dissidents and criminals from whole of the Sovjetunion to take part in the defence of Moscow. Especially in Magadan, in Sibiria, there was a prison where for example Zhukov was taken and held, because of Stalins fear to not beeing able to hold the power for himself. When the Germans was so near they were a real treath to Moscow Stalin let Zhukov free and recruted him to the defence of Moscow. Zhukov was one of the brightest strategian in Russia and Stalin knew it. After the war he was declared war hero. "From Kazachstan to Magadan" means Stalin was trolling the whole Sovjetunion from Kazackstan to the east, Magadan, for people that could defence Moscow, that must resist and prevail. This is at least what my russian wife tells me. What is your opinion? / Micke P

[@sovietunion8207]

Zhukov was not in prison,what is this nonsense?Moscow was defended by all the people, and when the Germans were already very close, Stalin did not leave Moscow(unlike other heads of state who immediately fled, for example, France), and this further united the soldiers to fight.

[@alexanderzhuravlev9923]

Hello,Mike. I'm sorry, english is not my origin language, but you have a russian speaking wife and she can correct translate my words. Хочется начать с того, что эта песня кавер на кавер. Звучит странно, но так оно и есть. Есть такой "музыкант" как Олег, он же Radio Tapok. В русско-язычном ютубе известен своими переводами на англоязычные хиты, причем, весьма качественными. Так же на канале у него есть рубрика "Песни в стиле ...". Так вот, начало этой истории началось с песни "The attack of the dead men". Он исполнил достойный переведенный кавер на эту песню и ребята из Sabaton пригласили его на концерт(если не ошибаюсь) в Москве в 2019, чтобы исполнить эту песню совместно, что и было с успехом проделано. Sabaton спел первый куплет на английском, а Олег второй на русском. На том же концерте он дал послушать демку Defence of Moskow и на этом эта история должна была бы завершиться. Но все произошло немного иначе. Олег выпустил эту песню в рубрике "Песня в стиле Sabaton", а чуть позже Sabaton сделал кавер на эту песню. По итогу, имеем ситуацию, что кавер на песню вышел до ее релиза.

Additionally, Radio Tapok even was at one of Sabaton's shows, and he was asked to perform with the band! How cool is that?
