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.

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!

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.

Not so fun fact: my great grandpa served in world war 1 fighting for the Russians. He was a medic and he would help injured soldiers in the trenches. He would say how the shrieks of pain as they amputated limbs with nothing but a shot of whiskey or vodka still rang in his ears. Eventually he had enough and he deserted back to his home where he hid in his hayloft till the war was over

Fact: Austria/Hungary didn't immediately go to war with Serbia after the assassination of Franz Ferdinand. They were of the opinion/thinking that Serbia was directly involved in the whole thing,so they sent a 10 point ultimatum to Serbia. Serbia went along with 8/9 points of it,they asked for the 1 or 2 points they didn't agree with be submitted to the international tribunal at the Hague. Austria/Hungary considered this to be a rejection of the whole ultimatum,so war was declared.

[@diongibbs312]

You mean they gave the lands which they stole from Germany to Poland 15 million German civilians not Nazis but Germans were raped murdered and drove out of our lands by ethnic cleansing and yes I said our lands because my grandfather my great-grandfather sorry him and his family for hundreds and hundreds of years maybe even a thousand years lived in the area which is Silesia, Southwest Poland today. In Beslau and its still largely Germanic near Berlin and Brandenberg. I want to add that agreement was made in support with Churchill and FDR to give German East Germany to Poland that was east of the odor- Neissen line however you still managed to take hold of Stettin and Stettin is according to the Arts and agreement German territory cuz it's west of the of the Border.

“We drove across the Red Square past Lenin's Mausoleum and the towers and domes of the Kremlin--and stopped a block away at the Grand Hotel. Our rooms were ready for us--clean and comfortable, with hot and cold water, homelike settees and deep roomy chairs. Courteous attendants were there, baths and elevator, a book shop and two restaurants. Everything that a hotel for white folks at home would have--except that, quite truthfully, there was no toilet paper. And no Jim Crow. Of course, we knew that one of the basic principles of the Soviet Union is the end of all racial distinctions. That's the main reason we had come to Moscow.” ― Langston Hughes,

After the meeting churchill said how he was astonished to see mountains of food and alcohol and a lot of servants stalin used everyday while the rest of the country starved. This kind of luxury wasn't found in the uk for years everywhere, even in the monarch's family. And stalin just had feasts everyday.
