All people outside Germany: Yes. Germany clearly caused the First World War. That a group supported by Serbia killed parts of the royal family of Austria-Hungary, and Austria-Hungary then attacked Serbia, has nothing to do with the First World War. And the fact that Germany was dragged into the war as an ally of Austria-Hungary, was attacked first by Russia and then only defended itself, is also completely irrelevant. Germany is to blame for the First World War. That's why the war winners had to take away 1/3 of Germany's land, occupy their most important economic center and send a bill of any amount in billions every year, which Germany has to pay, although the Treaty of Versailles didn't specify any amount about the reparation payments. No idea why Germans started hating their neighboring states and minorities so much that they elected a man who brought them a better economic situation and who started a new war 30 years after the end of the war against the war winners of WWI. Germany evil. And only through the Americans, Germany learned democracy. America! Fuck Yeah! Land of the Free!

[@sarmadali7191]

I was literally trying to learn something about the USSR yesterday, and today you uploaded a video about it.

[@Ragulenschaft]

You want to learn something about USSR? So Russian Empire's popultaion on 1913 (without Finland) was about 171 millions, in january of 1923 USSR's population was 137 millions. Yeah there was a territory loss of western so-called belarus & ukraine, also of baltic states, but obviously population of those regions wasn't reaching 34 millions, so what happened then? Bolshevik party happened. During WWI they talked about the need to start a civil war, and as a result, they started it. There are at least 10 million of loses during civil war in Russia, which was started by communist. Those loses include victims of the red terror and «prodrazverstka» (confiscation of grain and other agricultural products from peasants) politics arranged by the bolsheviks. The second one resulted in the famine in volga river region which was very horrifying: around 2 millions of deaths, some cannibalism incidents. There was some tries to help victims of the famine including from abroad ones, but they all were supressed by the bolshevik party, moreover they started campaing of destroying russian culture by eliminating remaining parts of the russian orthodox church in region that suffered from the famine. So how then bolsheviks won in the civil war with those to put it mildly unpopular politics? Because of the red terror, which resulted in at least 1 million and up to 2 millions of deaths, especially because of the hostage taking politic: bolsheviks was taking hostages not only to get a ransom, but also to force the officers of the former imperial army to serve in the red army. Also bolsheviks had a conscription army, and the white army was a volunteer one. And there is also a myth that the Whites were supported by the Entente, this is true, but this assistance was extremely limited, and sometimes help went into the hands of the Bolsheviks, for example, when the entente left the port city of Arkhangelsk, then the entire huge arsenal that was stored there went to the Bolsheviks, a similar situation was in Odessa. The Entente believed that the worst outcome for the Russians, the victory of the Bolsheviks, was the best outcome for it, but it was mistaken and the red plague began to spread rapidly to the surrounding countries. So after the end of the civil war there was NEP (new economic policy) which was basically capitalism and this was the best economic development of USSR for all of its history - this is the only fact you need to know about planned economy. But if new economics were the best option for the russian people, the cultural they were suffering a cultural genocide policy called «korenizatsiya» which was a policy of destroying russian identity and making from russians the so-called ukrainians&belarussians in western regions by rewriting russian history, destroying the russian cultural heritage (such as destroying the church as i said) and eliminating russian intelligentsia by killing them or forcing to flee from country. But in 1929 there was a moment of the «great brake» and all of 30s were a new huge wave of genocide of russians policies: in the period of 1930-1934 died about 8 millions in all of the USSR, most suffered region was the «middle-volga kray» and all of the volga, don and kuban rivers regions with saved russian majority and not the ukraine, but ukraine also suffered a lot and actually as i said majority of so-called ukrainians had a russian identity before the 1920s, so this golodomor tradegy is not genicide of ukrainians, but the genocide of russians. Also kazakhstan suffered but not mainly kazakh people but the russian nation: in ural river and north kazakhstan regions there were a russian majorities, but all russian population of those regions were deported and only in north kazakhstan this majority was restored (nowadays it is opressed by kazakhstan authoritarian xenophobic regime minority), but to the ural river region russians never returned. So, only to the 40s there were at least 20 millions of deaths that were mainly a russians, but this genocide never stopped to this day in the territories of former Russian Empire, it just remains unnoticed not only in the West, but also among the Russians themselves, but this is another conversation. Obviously USSR is not Russia, for the Russian nation USSR is something like Nazi Germany for the Jews (but don't forget that nazies also wanted to destroy the Russians, not only the Jews and Poles). Please share this information with your people, world must know about this.

Some more tips (by the memory so some facts might be not very accurate): 1. Situation in Russian Empire during the WWI: The most of Russian industry belonged to foreign capital and hosts, the formal liberation of peasants wasn't enforced with any new law or orders - politics of Alexander The 3rd Peacemaker and Nicolas The 2nd - last imperator - were rather cold to peasants and workers. The lost "little victorious" Russian-Japanese war of 1904, The 1st revolution of 1905 wich was savagely shot down at the rising and the common status of reforms - all these tips became a soil for revolutionary charge. The last two things to brake all believe to Tsar are (1) Enter to WWI (this decision wasn't unescapable) and (2) the doll-position of a new-built state body - Legislature (rus. Земское Собрание - Lands Forum) - it was fully taken under the Imperator's will with no chance to pass it. Nicolas The 2nd since 1914 and till 1917 made the Legislature to deny all decisions and all deputats to leave back to homes 3 (!) times. After the kill of Gregory Rasputin before the February Revolution of 1917 (Tsar's adviser with reputation of both seduced Saint and an Oracle, who said that if Russia will take part in the war when everything will crumble down) lots of hidden revolutionaries of Marxist/Anarchy/Anti-Monarchy/pro-rich/pro-foreign/radical and forbidden politition unions began to call workers and peasants to deny power of legal bodies. After the lost Kornilov's riot and the attempt of him to take Russia under control of Tsar-loyal generals the "white' powers lost popularity in european Russia and were made to face "Reds" in a civil war under the music of people pain - poor harvest, maraudering of outskirts by all parties, savage diseases and so on. The level of chaos was so high that for example some northern-caucasus divisions were taken into reds and whites both same time and because of that were getting double salaries of both red and white armies. + The intervention was really deep and with its hepl huge parts of "Imperial property" was taken abroad by white armies, including the most of state gold reserve, royal property and treasures, banks and so on. None of these were given back to USSR or RF. + The rise of some local national and politition groups made the situation even more foggy. For example - appearing and short existing of Far-East Republic (rus. Дальневосточная Республика) wich isolated the east border till Reds to come at places and undertake this "state" to Soviets. And one more fact. The Soviet (rus. Совет) means The Forum or - if to be more accurate - The process of democratic voting and actions. 2. The Holodomor (rus. Голодомор - Hunger and Death of diseases) happened because a lot of reasons and the politics of Joseph Stalin (Joseph Djugashvili, "Stalin" - is a pseudoname) wasn't that matter. Very poor harvests and deny of peasants to work at fields for free, insufficient of food supplies in cities, lack of tools and an industrial-coursed economy at last - all in common made regions of european Russia, Ukraine and Belarus suffer the most of overs when the Test by climate has come (actually even today these lands aren't very great to gathering food if to compare 'em with France of USA for example). + contradictions of new thing - sovhoz/kolhoz (rus. Совместное Хозяйство / Коллективное хозяйство, shortened Совхоз/Колхоз - common/collective hosting) 3. The Great Purge of 1936 further turned into The Great Terror of 1937-1938 (rus. Большой Террор), wich was started by an order 00447 of NKVD and signatured by Nikolay Ezhov - director of this service (rus. Народный Комиссариат Военных Дел, НКВД - People's Commissariat of Military Cases.... ~close translation). Unlike the Purge task - to clean away too radical and "original" revolutionaries - the next one's task was originally - to give local powers (like city/district soviet etc) ability to judge weird or anti-soviet elements in "Triple court", made of NKVD member, local Administration head/member and a Procurator - they could blame anyone, arrest and judge without the regular procedures. One month later the taste of ability to arrest and send you enemies away or even to execute them has become "meta". The most suffering of this order were old/original KPoSU members. Stalin's step in the Terror isn't so large (unlike the Purge, wich ejected Trotsky and co. away of USSR as "radicals" who were fans of original Marx plan to wreck states apart), prolonged for a year this part of an operation against of "Kulacks" (rus, Кулак - Fist, the creditor in speaking russian) and counter-revolutionaries was criticised by Stalin and stopped with arrest of Nikolay Ezhov. A new director of NKVD - Beria Lavrentii (one of Stalin's old friends) - fired about 90% of NKVD workers because it was "overcrowded". So make your conclusion about the effectiveness of some early soviets bodies. Bonuses + In soviet (and modern russian) history "war for Khalkhin-Gol" in Mongolia of 1939 is a border conflict same as conflict for Khasan Lake in 1937 nearby. + Soviet Union is the last state who made a "peace" with The 3rd Reich, remarks: GB - september of 1938, France - december of 1938, then Romania, Lithuania, Italy, Denmark, Estonia, Latvia and only then - USSR... This list misses more amendments though... some more to say if you like...

@@Lberlinsu про самый гуманный суд в мире - это шутка в среде юристов, как, например, в среде оружейников есть шутки про пакистанское происхождение... Во всех странах правосудие работает несколько по-своему, в силу чего порой встречаются такие положения законодательства, которые у нас либо не имеются, либо намного мягче, либо противоречат нашей уголовной доктрине. Например, только у нас имеется такое процессуальное положение, что для начала расследования следует возбудить уголовное дело на основании фактов, добытых в предварительных следственных действиях, Оперативно-Розыскных Мероприятиях и т.д. В других странах расследование запускается без необходимости в наличии уголовного дела - его собирают по ходу... И на обилии таких мелочей, которые могут стать решающими в суде, возникла эта шутка. Поискал, кстати, про двойки. Вообще я знаю про двойку, как дуэт главы НКВД и представителя от Прокуратуры СССР (допускаю у них "филиалы" на местах, о чём не могу быть уверен, ибо искать лень), но они не судили сами, а утверждали репрессионные списки, наделяя документы юридической силой. Сведений о двойках, как самостоятельных судах не помню и не смог найти, но исходя от вашего описания, это просто обычный суд - судья и обвинитель, перед ними подсудимый, у подсудимого советник - адвокат.

My great-grandfather, Yaakov Pevzner, lived on the outskirts of Leningrad when the Germans invaded in 1941. His house was repossessed by the Soviet government to use for the war effort. This resulted in him moving into the center of Leningrad, which was now blockaded by the German Navy. Throughout 1942, my great-grandfather suffered through the worst of the Blockade of Leningrad. He was evacuated in 1943, after the victory at Stalingrad. He was taken to Kyrgyzsia (Kyrgyzstan), where he first met my great-grandmother. One year later, in 1944, they had their first child, my maternal grandma. At the same time, Yaakov's cousin, Sacha, was shot down by the Luftwaffe. He was lucky to survive, but his legs were shattered. He, a member of the Soviet Air Force, should have been given military awards for his bravery. Instead, once the war was over, Stalin put him in a gulag. Sacha survived that only because Stalin died in 1953. One of Georgy Malenkov's first acts after Stalin's funeral was to release all prisoners in gulags, which included my great-grandfather's cousin. Sacha died in 1971, without receiving any military awards from Malenkov, Khrushchev, or Brezhnev. However, my great-grandfather received three Thank You Letters: one from Gorbachev, another from Yeltsin, and a third one from Lukashenko. He also got military awards from Andropov and Chernenko. Yaakov was NOT in the Red Army, Navy, or Air Force. He was simply a factory director who survived the blockade in Leningrad. Furthermore, he lived long enough to see the fall of the Soviet Union, the rise of Yeltsin, Putin, and Lukashenko, and long enough for me to actually know him. He was born in 1919 and passed away in 2012. He was born before the Soviet Union was and died after the Soviet Union did.

You didn't mention: 1. 1961, the USSR launched the first man into space - Yuri Gagarin. 2. The economic crisis in the USSR was caused not by the actions of Brezhnev, but by the economic policy of Gorbachev, who abruptly switched from a planned economy to a market one. As a result, the plan for the supply of food and products was disrupted, which caused a total shortage of goods and a catastrophic increase in prices. For the economic catastrophe of the USSR, Gorbachev and his mediocre transition to a market economy are responsible. No matter how terrible the planned economy of the USSR was, this did not prevent it from existing and achieving significant success. The reason for the collapse of the economy was precisely the reforms of Gorbachev.

@@Wirsindimmernochhier Yes. She conquered space, built a nuclear power plant, won the largest war in the history of the planet, became a nuclear superpower .. Oh, No. In reality, it was the USSR. You know, even if we take the rights of women, then in the USSR a woman became equal to a man in 1918. In Nazi Germany, a woman was not at all equal to a man and was considered solely as a mother and wife. This was the official doctrine of Nazi propaganda. When the Nazis invaded the USSR, they were extremely surprised and puzzled by the fact that, together with Soviet men, Soviet women fought on equal terms against them. What many wrote in their memoirs. And this is only a small part of the achievements of the USSR. Nazi Germany without a doubt has a huge number of achievements. I think she has collected all the anti-records of statehood. After all, in just 12 years, she managed to destroy herself.

[@reorioOrion]

​@@Wirsindimmernochhier 1. No. You're lying. 90% of the troops of Germany and its allies (with the exception of Japan) were concentrated on the eastern front. The battles between the USSR and Germany amounted to a million people on each side. And there were not one, not two, and not three such battles: Battle for Moscow: Germany - 2 million soldiers. USSR - 1.2 million soldiers. Total losses - more than a million soldiers. _ Battle for the Dnieper: Germany - 1.2 million soldiers. USSR - 2.6 million soldiers. Total losses - more than a million soldiers. _ Battle of Kursk: Germany - 900 thousand soldiers. USSR - 1.9 million soldiers The largest tank battle in history. In general, almost 10,000 tanks took part in the battle. Total losses - almost 1 million soldiers. _ Battle of Stalingrad: Germany - 1 million soldiers. USSR - 1.2 million soldiers. Total losses - almost two million soldiers If we take the largest battles on the western front, then these are: USA - D-Day (Normandy landings) USA - 150 thousand people. Germany - 50 thousand soldiers. Total losses - 25 thousand soldiers. And Battle of Britain Britain - 1900 aircraft. Germany - 2.5 aircraft. Total losses (military) - 6 thousand soldiers. After the victory in the Battle of Stalingrad, the USSR adopted the plan of "ten Stalin strikes". These are 10 major battles designed to free the Soviet land from the Nazi, brown plague. This: Leningrad-Novgorod operation Dnieper-Carpathian operation Odessa operation (1944) and Crimean operation (1944) Iasi-Kishinev operation and Romanian operation Baltic operation (1944) East Carpathian operation and Belgrade operation Petsamo-Kirkenes operation Each of these battles is 5-10 times larger than the biggest Allied battles - D-Day and the Battle of Britain. It was the USSR that won the victory over Germany. He would have done it without allies. Also, the USSR in 1945 launched the Manchurian operation, during which the Kwantung Army of Japan was destroyed, numbering a million people (~ 600 thousand Japan and ~ 300 thousand Korea) It was this event that forced Japan to capitulate, and not at all the launching of nuclear strikes. 2. I don't care about your friend's grandmother. In my judgments, I rely on facts, not the stories of your friends. A woman in Nazi Germany was forbidden to teach at universities, work in the medical field and hold political positions in the NSDAP. Propaganda in Nazi Germany viewed women as exclusively mothers and domestic workers. There were certainly exceptions, but the general agenda remained unchanged. Women in Nazi Germany were EXTREMELY infringed in their rights. And a similar attitude towards women persisted in Germany for a long time after the defeat of Nazism. In the USSR, the woman was completely equalized in rights with men in 1917. Nazi Germany never achieved such equality between men and women, which was in the USSR. 3. Germany was extremely technologically advanced. Her achievements were stolen by the United States during Operation Paperclip So what? Did the United States develop nuclear weapons with the help of Germany? Or maybe the internet? It will be news to you, but discoveries like this don't happen in a vacuum. This happens in the course of an intellectual, economic and political race between powers. Germany stole from the USSR, the USSR from Germany, the USA from Germany, the USSR from the USA, and so on. This is the normal form of things. The fact is that technologically advanced Germany has LOST. She's over. The fact is that space was conquered by the USSR and the USA, not by Germany. Germany is now conquering the expanses of multiculturalism and patience in relation to pedophiles, gays, migrants. You can say thank you for this to your Nazi Germany, without which this would not have been possible. It doesn't matter how well built you are if you've been losing in a fight. 4. a) Don't tell me what works and what doesn't. There was no communism in the USSR. In the USSR, there was socialism, which was building communism. You clearly don't understand the issue you're talking about. Communism comes with the withering away of the state. There was a state in the USSR. b) "Holodomor" is a myth of Ukrainian and American propaganda. His goal is to quarrel the peoples according to the Roman rule "divide and rule" There really was a famine in the USSR. It was all over the USSR and was a consequence of the global financial crisis (Great Depression), the first world war, the civil war, and yes - mistakes on the ground. "Holodomor" is presented by Ukrainian and American propaganda as a genocide of the Ukrainian people. I have one question for you: If Stalin wanted to destroy the Ukrainian people....who prevented him? This is the most uncomfortable question, to which none of the propagandists can find an answer. Maybe you will find. c) "In fact, Germany won the war, not the USSR" Yes. Everything was so. Yeah. And it was not the Soviet flag that flew over the Reichstag. For your information, Germany has developed an OST plan. In the course of this plan, in the event of a German victory, the genocide of 70% of the Soviet people was envisaged, the rest was planned to be enslaved. It doesn't matter what kind of victims the USSR turned white in the war. If the USSR had lost this war, it would have literally lost everything. So it was the USSR that won the war. d) "elections in the Russian Empire" The Russian Empire did not have the USSR. On March 17, 1991, an all-Union referendum on the preservation of the USSR was held in the USSR. 77% of the citizens of the Soviet Union in all the republics were in favor of preserving it. This referendum was provided for by the constitution of the USSR and was necessary for the legally justified withdrawal of the republics from the composition. He failed. The people did not want to secede from the USSR. Then the referendum was ignored, forgotten, and instead illegal referendum were held in individual republics. In new, separate referendum, "the numbers converged" and the oligarchy gained power.

[@reorioOrion]

@@Wirsindimmernochhier 🥳🥂 Happy reading.

[@reorioOrion]

​@@Wirsindimmernochhier 1. a) Of course, Germany's war on two fronts weakened her army. However, not only Germany fought, but also its allies. All of Europe fought against the USSR under the heel of Germany. The USSR also fought on several fronts simultaneously. The USSR fought against Germany, Finland, Hungary, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Bulgaria. Do you know who the RSFSR (the future USSR) fought against in the civil war in 1917? He fought simultaneously against the British Empire, the USA, Canada, Austria, India, France, Italy, Greece, Romania, Poland, Japan, China, the Ottoman Empire, Austria-Hungary, Germany, the UNR, the BPR, Finland, the Whites (supporters of the constitutional monarchy ), Greens (supporters of anarchism) And I'm sure I missed someone else. Study the foreign intervention of the Entente in Russia, in 1917. Do you want to whine about how poor Germany fought on two fronts? Well... find someone else. I am Russian. It is normal for us to fight on 2, 3, 10 fronts at the same time. You either win or you lose. And if you lose fighting on 2 fronts, this is exclusively your problem and no one else. There was no need to start fighting on two fronts. And I repeat once again: the USSR defeated more than 600 divisions of Germany and its allies. The British Empire and the United States, together, defeated only 170 divisions. The USSR won the war against Germany. With the support of the USA and Britain. This is exactly the same as if the Second World War was won by the Axis countries. In that case, it would have been won by Germany, with the support of its allies. Because in the Second World War, in Europe, the main, most large-scale, key, important and bloody battles fell precisely on the eastern front. There was nothing like it on the western front. b) You are talking about Lend-Lease, which was supplied by the USA to the USSR. Yes he was. It amounted to approximately 6% of the total military spending of the USSR during the war. This is a lot. But this is not the determining factor. The Soviet Union would have won without Lend-Lease. There would just be more victims. But that's all. 2. What does Nazi Germany have in common with gays, pedophiles and migrants? Don't you understand? In Russia, this is indicated by the proverb "out of the fire and into the frying pan" From one extreme to another. It is precisely because of the radical position of Nazi Germany regarding migrants, sexual minorities and other things that now, in Germany, there is another extreme, where all this is categorically welcomed, causing irreparable damage to Germany. Destroying her nation. Radicalism is never good. Extreme always leads to excess. And kinks lead to collapse. 3. a) During the collapse of the USSR, an oligarchy came to power in the future republics, the goal of which was one idea - hedonism. The oligarchy plundered the heritage of the USSR and plunged their republics into poverty. The only justification for this was nationalism, which blamed not the current elite, but the USSR for what was happening. Hatred for the USSR is imposed by the modern oligarchy in the countries of Eastern Europe. A dead lion can be kicked by any hyena. I do not argue with the fact that hatred in the former countries of the Warsaw Pact towards the USSR takes place. I have already given reasons for it. However, in your words there is no factual evidence. This is a personal assessment and nothing more. In my own words, on the contrary, there are facts. Namely, the referendum on March 17, 1991 on the preservation of the USSR. This referendum was the most honest possible since it was carried out by those oligarchs who wanted the collapse of the USSR. This referendum showed that 77% of the inhabitants of the USSR are in favor of its preservation. As for the population of the former republics of the USSR, we can refer to their demographics during the Soviet era and after. During the time of the USSR, the demographics of the republics grew at a rapid pace. The increase was from 30 to 90%. Under the European Union, after the collapse of the USSR, most of the republics have either zero population growth or a decline of 30% or more. Here are some examples: Latvia. 1946 - 1,550,000 population. 1991 - 2,650,000 population. Over 45 years, an increase of 58% 2023 - 1,890,000 population. For 32 years, the population decline is 29% Lithuania. 1950 - 2,570,000 population. 1991 - 3,700,000 population in 41 years, an increase of 69% 2023 - 2,860,000 population. For 32 years, the population decline is 23% Georgia. 1950 - 3,520,000 population. 1991 - 5,450,000 population. For 41 years, an increase of 64% 2020 - 3,700,000 population. Population decline 33% over 29 years And so on. We clearly see that under the "totalitarian" USSR, the population of the republics grew and prospered. And with "blooming" Europe, these republics are dying out. And the reason is the oligarchy, which does not care about their country. Which turned their countries into the periphery of US capitalism. That is why nationalism and propaganda against the USSR flourishes in these countries. Because this is the only way to explain why they used to be doing well, and now they are bad. They need to find the culprit, but they themselves do not want to be guilty. According to this, the Soviet Union was appointed guilty. b) The reason why the Berlin Wall was destroyed is that the USSR allowed the GDR to unite with the FRG. Only instead, the FRG absorbed the GDR; together they became a colony of the United States, which before that was the FRG. The USSR gave the GDR freedom. The Germans did not want to live under socialism. The USSR was not opposed. The Germans got their freedom. And what did you do with her? You handed her over to the United States. c) How do you feel now in Germany? Or is it not Germany anymore? I don't think it's Germany anymore. I think your German nation no longer exists. Where is the new Wagner, Marx, Hegel, Faerbach, Kant? Where are the great German achievements and discoveries? Where are they? There is none of them. Because your nation is destroyed. And who did it? 4. You do not know the history of Russia. The Great October Socialist Revolution passed almost without casualties. Blood began to flow later, after the start of the civil war, which was sponsored and supported by supporters of the Whites - the United States and Britain, also after their invasion of Russia in 1917. The bloody civil war in Russia was unleashed by Western imperialism and this is a fact. If the Entente had not taken the side of the White Guards, the civil war would not have happened because the people were for the Bolsheviks, and this was proved by their crushing victory over the whole world. I already wrote above how many countries the Bolsheviks fought in the civil war. 5. "The Nazis came to power not by force, but by election" Yes, and the massacres of communists, Jews and gypsies were just fun games, not violence. Apparently, you do not really know the history of your country. First, you forgot about the 1923 beer putsch. This is precisely a violent attempt to seize power. He failed. That is why the Nazis did not seize power in 1923, but not because "they did not need to seize power by force" That is, the reason is not in the Nazis' humanity or democracy, but in the fact that they simply did not succeed. Secondly, Hitler did not become Chancellor by election. President Hindenburg appointed him Chancellor. As chancellor, Hitler began to implement a policy of terror and dictatorship. Hindenburg died in 1934, which allowed Hitler, who at that time had already completely seized power, to hold a fictitious referendum on the unification of the post of president and chancellor - that is, to appoint himself the leader of Germany. There were no democratic elections. Presidential elections are when there are candidates, when there are debates. This is not a referendum. And Hitler took over as head of state bypassing the elections. Appointing yourself as a ruler bypassing elections and through a referendum in a country in which you already control power is not a democracy -) 6. "The victory of the USSR was pyrrhic" In the last post, you claimed that Germany won, not the USSR. Now, I still managed to convince you that it was the USSR that won, and not Germany. I'm glad even this promotion-) Victory in the war, the USSR got monstrous sacrifices and losses. True, it must be clarified here that for Germany this turned into a complete collapse. Nevertheless, if we are talking about whether the victory of the USSR was pyrrhic or not, it is necessary to start from the meanings of victory and defeat. What would happen if the USSR lost. And we know the answer. With regard to the USSR, the OST plan, which was approved by Nazi Germany, would have come into effect. I already wrote about him. The OST plan provided for the genocide of 70% of the citizens of the Soviet Union and the complete destruction of the USSR as a state. What should be sacrificed on the altar of war in order to defeat such an adversary? All. Because losing is losing everything. Therefore, the victory of the USSR was not pyrrhic. By the way, if you forgot, after the victory, the USSR became the second nuclear superpower, conquered space, atomic energy and made many more discoveries and achievements. So the victory over Germany did not completely exhaust the USSR. But even if these achievements weren't there... The victory was still worth it. Because Russia is everything. And the rest is nothing. The Germans have forgotten what it means to love their homeland. You must now love gays, pedophiles and migrants.

Russia was the largest republic in USSR, 50% of the population of the USSR lived in Russia, the capital was in Moscow and all other republics were subordinate to Moscow. In Western countries, this is an established tradition.
