Exposing Russia For What It Really Is

[@Savage_Sage]

📍Clarifications/Updates 👉 AK-47 Looks like I wasn't clear how I presented my argument: AK47 is invented by Germans yet commonly attributed as "russian" invention. Many people thought my argument was that AK is a COPY of STG, which it is NOT. AK47 and STG might look similar visually but from an engineering perspective they are different 👉 But Americans also used German scientists for the space program // Everyone copies Yeah and they never hid that fact, like they also embraced that they were British colony, unlike Muscovites who shy away from being a vassal to Golden Horde and who renamed a copy of German V2 into R1 and claimed it was theirs. Americans even wrote on their rocket "German v2" wwiiafterwwii.files.wordpress.com/2016/05/whitesands2.jpg?w=809 Thank you!

[@sh0erick_squishy]

again this is complete nonsense, at least have the integrity to admit at least ONE of your points are just FALSE. The AK was NOT invented by Germans, the AK was inspired by the Canadian M1 GARAND, Kalashnikov is very clear about this and is clear to anyone who understands gun mechanics. The stg btw is VERY differant than the ak in terms of actual MECHANISM, the only things they have in common is that they are both assault rifles and look vaguely similar. p.s Almost EVERYTHING is inspired by something some one else did, it is called EVOLUTION.

[@sergeipetrov_rzn]

@@sh0erick_squishy he will say it was the German engineers who were inspired by Garand, not Kalashnikov because Kalashnikov was an illiterate peasant and didn't produce anything after AK (except for PK maybe who nobody knows about anyway)

[@sh0erick_squishy]

this is just empty words, kalashnikov before he ever created the Ak he created an SMG that unfortunately did not win any competition, and then he went on to create the ak and kalashnikov was very honest in his writing about what inspired him, not some german engineers, this claim about German engineers coming up with the ak is just a hollow invention by anti russian bigots.@@sergeipetrov_rzn

@savage_sage one more thing that I faced several times in Moscovia: They all seem to be mad, that the "evil west" disrespects Mendeleiev and calls the periodic table "periodic table" and not "system mendeleieva". Fun story: If you research the story of the periodic table further, there were about 10 predecessors and other smart brains working on such a system many years before Mendeleiev and had made substantial groundwork, published by e.g. Lother Meyer already five years prior of Mendeleievs publication.But Moscovians are totally fine ignoring their work and just talk about the final steps, that Mendeleiev contributed. The Moscovian inferiority complex seems really deeply rooted, that they insist so much on this. To me it sounds just laughable. I have never heard a German complaining, that in the English speaking world, it's called X-rays and not Roentgen-rays. Oh nooooo, they're disrespecting our scientists .... mimimi, wtf.

have to disagree on the AK being a copy of the StG. it is a copy of the "assault rifle" concept, with an intermediate cartridge and large capacity, but the inner mechanisms are completely different. StG uses a pistol delayed roller lock, with a buffer tube, AK uses a long stroke gas system without a buffer tube. they cant really be more different. HOWEVER, the system in an AK is extremely close to another gun, the M1 Garand. if anything, the AK is a copy of that.

[@Savage_Sage]

in video my claim is that AK47 is a Germany invention, and it wasn't made by Kalashnikov. Didn't want to make it sound like AK is a copy of StG - it's not. Maybe very well improved copy

[@Ivan_Powrosnik]

@@Savage_Sageyou could say that it is a copy of the concept, and that would be true to some extent. Fire and suppression tactics were done by every combatant nation in ww2, and pioneered well before that, but Germany had the first concrete squad tactics incorporating such a weapon, which weren’t copied so much as improved upon post war, the stg-44 was a squad support weapon with 2-3 in a squad on average, while the AK, AR, FAL, etc were standard for all infantry. The Soviets certainly took inspiration from Germany in the early years of modern infantry rifles, even copying the concept of one after seeing it on the frontlines, but didn’t exactly steal it.

At a very basic level you denigrate the borrowing and adaptation of differing customs, products, and traditions as "fake". The Industrial Revolution took place in England in the latter half of the 18th century. The entire rest of the world has 'borrowed' industrial economic development from that source. The Western European conquest of the rest of the world following the Renaissance relied upon gunpowder and the compass, not to mention the efficiency of printed books -- all three of which were invented by the Chinese. The Renaissance itself was based upon the 'rebirth' of classical studies, translated in the predominance of cases from Arabic -- if you like, 'stolen' from scholars resident in the Arabic lands. The microbiology, chemistry, and physics of the twentieth century was all (or virtually all) developed by the Germans and 'stolen' by the victors of the First World War, without acknowledgement of its origin within the Wilhelminian Empire of the Second Reich. It is breathtaking, that you denigrate the Russian space project as based on German expertise without mention of the German scientists who fathered the American space program. The first human being to walk on the Moon did so using rockets designed following the plans of Werner von Braun.

I don't know if you realize but the world isn't a set of isolated countries.

The point with AK is also unclear, is anything that improves on previously designed inventions considered fake? Why would anyone make something from the ground up instead of accounting for what was already made to make it better? By your logic every single car design is fake because a wheel was invented in Mesopotamia. The part with post stamp is also weird, there is "Russia" name on every post stamp made in Russia, it isn't exclusive to this one. As for the country name "Russia" it is much more complex than you present it here. "Rus" was a name for the people rather than a certain territory. Also using modern day google translate to prove naming process of a country in 1700s is just beyond my understanding.

The Ak-47 was not invented by germans. It has 0% parts compatibility with the Stg-44, and uses a different calliber (7.62x39mm). It was invented by Mikhail Kalashnikov and his team. To imply that Hugo Schmeisser was the true inventor because he worked in the same instittute is problematic: did he also invent all the other prototype guns that were in competition with the AK in the soviet army trials? Thats a lot of work in a short space of time. The americans also used captured nazi scientists in their space program prolifically (google Operation Paperclip). Wernher von Braun, a former nazi, was not just a simple scientist working for the US, he was the director of NASA. The first rockets fired by the americans were also captured V2s. Most of your criticism regarding former german scientists being involved in the soviet space program also applies to the american one.

[@CodeFun691]

Man Slavs manage to lie even in videos about lies. The Cyril alphabet is a derivative of the Greek alphabet. Nothing was "invented" there. And no, you don't get to claim the Greek alphabet. The Swedes for instance don't say "we invented the Latin alphabet" just because they have added and modified some letters.

Lmao, nice video 👍

[@liammoynihan2187]

There's some pretty obvious mistakes you've made here in this video. The red, white, and blue flag was adopted by Czar Nikolai Alexandrovich Romanov II in the late 19th century. The Romanovs were relatives to several Royal families across Europe, such as the Windsors of England. If you take a look at other countries with red, white, and blue flags you will notice that the colors were adopted to denote royal familial relations. You could argue that these colors do not represent the People of Mosckovia, because they don't, they represent the relationship between British, French, Russian royal families (when they had royal families that is). The Kalashnikov rifles are vastly different from the German STG-44. They look similar, but aside from gas operation (which is also common to the US made M-16/AR-15 as well as other NATO Assault rifles) there are no other similarities. The Muscovites weren't the only ones to capture Nazi scientists. Verner Braun was captured by the Americans and worked on the Manhattan project. I believe that he was also responsible for alot of early NASA projects as well. The British captured hundreds of nazi scientists as well and put them to work across their industry. Muscovite culture is one of appropriation. However, to say that this is unique to the Muscovites is intellectually dishonest.

[@valentink487]

Werner von Braun wasn't working on the Manhattan project, he was a rocket scientist and worked together with a lot of other German scientists later on all American space programs from Mercury to Apollo and the moon landings. On Apollo he was basically director of the whole moon program.

The funny thing is that Borshch wasn't really a thing in the Rus...

[@Stormcloakvictory]

Yes Russians copied or stole many designs. But sorry but even from a German standpoint, the AK-47 has pretty much nothing to do with STG/MP44 Early AK, was milled not stamped. AK has a completely fundamentally different operating system as well. It's a long stroke gas system. (Honestly the AK-47 is closer to the American M1 Garand internally, so if it's truly a copy, it's a copy of the M1-Garand) The only thing they really took from the STG was the use of an intermediate round.

[@colbunkmust]

Yeah, AK usage as a doctrine copies from Germany(sort of, though the STG was suppose to replace the service rifle, not SMGs) but mechanically, it's more of a copy of the Canadian/American M1. Magazine shape you could probably argue was inspired by the STG, although the "rock and lock" mag catch/release mechanism is more similar to the British/Czech Bren gun.

[@chainoad]

A small correction: the AK was at first stamped, but they've immediately realized their stamping tech was very bad so they reverted to milling for several(?) years until the stamping was improved.

[@pontiuspilatus7900]

Well done!

[@florinadrian5174]

First, remember to call them Muscovites. Second, there's nothing wrong with copying, as you said, just with claiming that you invented it. Japan copied and imported everything they could find from the West in their Meiji period. And then they improved it. But third and most important, Muscovites' most relevant fault is not their plagiarism but their imperial streak. They share that with many countries of the West, some who have repented, allegedly. Not even their brutality is unique: they wiped out entire peoples in Siberia and Caucasus but US and Spain did the same to the native Americans, Germany wiped out Namibian tribes and did the Holocaust and England and France did countless genocides around the globe. US and Israel are doing one right now in Gaza. This sharing of methods and brutality is not an exculpation, not even an excuse. Their crimes stand on their own.

Good Video but one correction. The AK-47 is not a copy of the STG-44. Yes it has the same roll as the STG-44 on the battlefield, but it doesn't funktion like it. Brandon Herrera has a video about the differences between the two on his channel where he also explains from what firearm the firing mechanism of the AK-47 is really inspired by. Sry for my bad english.

[@trueSavageSage]

it's not a copy, it's an improved version of it Point was that AK-47 was invented by Germans - not Russians

[@misterserious3522]

I have to agree, having owned, fired and evaluated both in detail from an engineering and historical point of view the only similarity is the orientation of the major components vis a vis the basic technology and intended purpose of the time at the time they were logical extensions and upgrades from what existed to that time.
