with more than 2 million tons of strategic cargo, fascist submarines sank the ships of 3,000 british mercilessly. they never returned home, the germans continued to attack the convoys, even in april 45, when there were several days left before the surrender of germany. in the last ship that sank was the frigate whistle in the kola bay at night, it was hit by a german torpedo or by. then it was not possible to figure out the ship instantly engulfed in flames. it can be said that the ship has become a real funeral pyre. i couldn't take my eyes off it terrible sight even after the war, when former allies turned into opponents, soviet veterans gratefully recalled the courage of british sailors, but in london they simply forgot about their heroes for many years, i will show you the medals that the war was awarded like this,

which i most proud of the medal. ushakova has been presented to other veterans of the arctic convoys by president putin. i always wear it on the march in honor of armistice day. for us, this feeling and the medal is a very beautiful russian award. captain of the royal navy received in honor of the 55th anniversary of the victory , along with him then 14 more british sailors received this honor, and only then did the former allies in london think. in our country, russia remembers you as heroes later on. here's something the british prime minister asked his subordinates what was done in order to express gratitude for the participation of compact convoys, they answered that it was done extremely, you never know, then he initiated the awarding of us with arctic star medals. and that's it. why because it is president putin

first raised the question of how those who participated in the arctic campaign were honored, so we received our awards. today, all veterans of the polar convoys know that whatever happens in russia, they will always be met as real fighting friends. the brotherhood was above politics. all i hope for is the world. i am 94 years old. i'm approaching 95. i've seen the war and i hope never in my life to see that again, but as a world ruler. i would like to say that i never want to see or hear about wars again in my life. january 30, 1945, the twelfth anniversary of the nazi rise to power. adolf hitler stood before the microphone for the last time. he had nothing to please his people. it was obvious to everyone the so -called millennium. the reich is living its last days. i hope that every german will do his

duty to the end. and that he will be ready to make any sacrifice that is asked of him, i count on every german capable of fighting. i call on the sick, the weak, and all those unfit for military service to work with their last strength. today we must admit that our great undertaking requires the abandonment of personal desires. by the way, did you hear the last speech of goebbels according to him. we have powerful and effective means of warfare waiting in the wings. well, let this come as a surprise to us. i cannot imagine that our leadership would continue the war, if there were no prospect of its victorious end. it would be senseless destruction. it was one of the last messages from non-commissioned officer herman dunker to his mother during the war, he sent home more than 150 letters, forty-second he wrote about the inevitable victory over the russian forty. the third called on stoiko to endure hardships, and in the fall of the forty- fourth frau. dunker has already received another

piece of news from a deeply regrettable ma'am. i must inform you that your dear son is a non-commissioned officer. herman dunker was taken to the hospital with a chip wound to his left leg on october 7, 1944. your dear son passed away from the received estates. let it comfort you that your dear son did not suffer before his death, but fell asleep peacefully. the closer was the end the funeral of the third reich, the more often germany was in a panic, the fanatics still believed that the course of the war could be turned around, they hoped for some kind of miracle weapon, well, the pragmatists of those who were now afraid to answer for what the nazis had done, there was only one dream, so that the allies advancing from the west managed to take berlin earlier than the soviet troops, my division, which received hitler's order to break through the ring of russian troops around berlin and

release the whitewashed people back, and there were already americans behind the elbe. even a few years ago. nazis despised the americans published russian cartoons in the american army, every tenth soldier, niger and now the highest ranks of nazi germany at any cost rushed to the west to the americans. wünsdorf, just 40 km from berlin , was the headquarters of the high command of the wehrmacht sound forces during the war. it was one of the state secrets. reich, the location and layout of the maybach-1 and maybach 2 bunker complexes were supposed to be known only to a select few. maybach alone consisted of 23 buildings from bunkers we we can see them in these photos, and in this aerial photo we see the maybach 2 point, it consisted of 12 buildings these buildings have three floors above the ground, so the size of the buildings is 15 m

in height and 9 m in depth. reinforced concrete structures that look like huge rockets are bomb shelters, the so-called winkel towers. visible from afar, they were intended for service personnel. but the general's bunkers, which kerhoffman showed us, were disguised as ordinary residential buildings. this is where fate was decided in europe, the plan of attack on the soviet union barbarossa was born here in the forty-fifth, soviet troops occupied this fortress almost without a fight , the wehrmacht command was by no means going to die along with the reich. this is the house of the bunker of the field marshal, paulus, the author of the failed blitzkrieg to the east. this is the only one who was captured by the soviet troops and the only one who later remained to live in the gdr. but the rest. for example, the house of the

bunker of the chief of the hitlerite general staff of the ground forces of the halder, he surrendered to the americans and until the seventieth year, with his contribution to the cold war, he earned almost all the highest awards in the united states. and then it’s even more interesting. this is the house of the bunker of general reinhard, hellin's chief of intelligence on the eastern front, having surrendered to the americans. he gave them tons of documents on the red army. and that the americans trust this prisoner to create the main intelligence service of the frg . not just with the help of the americans avoided nuremberg, but also essentially created the entire modern german army and intelligence. about ordinary

germans in the forty-fifth, the agonizing reich put under arms all of the unfit for military service, detachments of the volzturrma of the people's militia were formed. the wehrmacht was strengthened by such boys from the hitler youth as loter scholz. we were part of the 9th army in the khalbe region on the zal river, a defensive rampart was created, they say ivan you won’t get through here, here we are peace and gave out a steel helmet, one adult soldier poured me a lot of cartridges. i am i had to insert them into stores, and into stores into weapons. this was my arsenal. one boy of 12 14 years old faust launched a cartridge and so our panties caught him, they took off, they didn’t shoot him from the password. and

now he says, go to your mother, and he thought that he would be shot. the civilian population of germany was preparing for the worst of ordinary germans, they were seized with fear when they only imagined themselves. how can the soldiers of the red army respond to the pain of death and destruction brought by the nazis to an innocent people in one village. forgot it already name, but you also need to go in to get water, approach to each other knocked no one is dressed at first this is not closed, the house is a civilian man guy. committed suicide. western historians love to describe the troubles that fell on the german people with the advent of the red army. but those germans who do not live according to the manuals from politicians have been carefully preserving the monument to the

soviet liberator soldier for many decades. in the very center of berlin, a sword is in one hand, and a little german girl is clinging to the other. this is not staged footage, documentary chronicle, berlin 45 red army soldiers in berlin feed the townspeople. during the war, front-line cameramen fought alongside the soldiers of the red army. they filmed the entire terrible retreat of the summer, the forty-first boilers and the battles of defeat and victory, one of our comrades told me that somehow they arrived at the front line in the unit, and there they were seen by soldiers and they say guys. all of us will remain alive. the cameraman came to us, they really are forever. remained alive on newsreel frames, thanks to these frames we can look at the war today through the eyes of those who defended our right to life front-line

operators were 258 boris sokolov died the last of them in january 2019 our filming for documentary filming. it's not a written word. this image on shows the truth about the war is our work. this is still the truth about the war, along with the first belarusian. there boris sokolov traveled all over europe saw the offensive of the red army nadre fighting on the zeilov heights the horror of street fighting for berlin any shooting at the front is terrible on the flight of the office found the corpse of a double of hitler and we went to shoot. and so we entered the basement of the large floor by the quickly wounded defenders of the jewish chancellery of the

imperial chancellery, who could not leave , were wounded to such an extent that they could not help but run away. do not surrender anything they lay still in the thirty-eighth year, time magazine announced adolf hitler as the man of the year. on may 2, 1945, the leader of the third reich appeared again on the cover of this edition. on that day, newspapers around the world told readers hitler was dead to the germans. this is news became the collapse of the last hope. it was written there. today we learned that our beloved fuhrer, fighting the bolsheviks to the last breath. pal. in berlin so you became aware of the death of hitler it was the end of the world, practically the world collapsed was not. i was in hitler's office. i am the second day after the capitalization of the chair open boxes, everything is scattered droskin. she has a hanger, a cloak, a leather cloak and a peaked cap

on a swastika pad. we did not pay attention to this raincoat cap, and the english journalist took both, and later, almost 20 years after the end of the war, he sold both to the national museum of england for a lot of money, after the fuhr went and the leadership of the third reich , along with his wife and six children, was poisoned by the josefbels act, and the unconditional surrender of germany had to be signed by wilhelm keiteril, the chief of staff of the high command immediately stood out. he behaved very arrogantly. the impression was that he did not sign the capitalization. he accepts surrender. they behave very similar. today. many western leaders arrogantly pretend not to remember. the soviet union liberated europe and are trying in every possible way to cross russia out of the countries of the winners. and the first attempts to fix history began back

then in may forty-fifth, the act of capitulation of germany had to be signed twice. the first time, on may 7, the third reich surrendered to an ally signing a document on a french voyage. well, how can it be? we took the whole war out of our shoulders. we took berlin . and here behind our backs. here you are, the way you are there everything is fine, then we did not let them steal the victory from us, stalin categorically demanded the surrender of germany must be signed in berlin in the presence of the supreme command of the ussr , and only after that sofen. the ford bureau declared the war ended on may 8, 1945 in berlin by representatives of the german high command on the unconditional surrender of the german armed forces in the leningrad region

near the village of sologubovka, the largest german military cemetery in russia is located. there is a small church temple of reconciliation. entering meets the message of a german soldier, left many years after the end of the war. i am sorry for all the terrible deeds of the german people during world war ii. i hope something like this never happens in the future. i would like to believe. here, the desire to lay on someone the responsibility of putting the soviet union and nazi germany on the same level is certainly projected onto today for tomorrow so that russia feels necessary to

justify itself for something, uh, to put us in the false position of people who should experience guilt. we do not have and cannot have any sense of guilt, but laying on the altar of victory 27 million of the lives of our citizens in the soviet union mean to the total therefore there is and cannot be any justification for those who are trying to rewrite history. we must be eternally grateful to the heroes of the great patriotic war, our grandfathers, grandmothers, fathers, our mothers, for the fact that they obtained this victory for us and ensured the future of our country and our children.

nazi filth and expressed confidence that, as in 1945, victory will be ours in a message addressed to veterans of the great patriotic war and citizens of ukraine, the president of russia emphasized the inadmissibility of revenge on the ideological heirs of those who were defeated by the great patriotic war. the minister of defense presented the highest state award to military personnel who showed heroism during a special military operation, the title of hero of russia was awarded to deputy commander of the attack aviation regiment dmitry litvinov and navigator of the fighter aviation regiment viktor dudin . this is the highest appraisal of our fatherland and your exploits in accomplishment. special military liberation operation

donbass, i would like to wish you further success, you serve with dignity, you represent the armed forces with dignity. the new generation of the generation of those who have come to replace today. i say this, on the eve of may 9 to replace those who back in 1945 defended the independence and freedom of our fatherland lugansk village svetlichny is another settlement liberated from the ukrainian national battalions this is peaceful village. no fighters. there is no reality. everything turned out wrong olga kurvaeva will tell what the nationalists have turned the school houses and kindergartens into. it appeared in the ukrainian media as mirny settlement, however, when a serviceman of the people's militia nevertheless came here after clearing it from the national battalions, it turned out that in almost every house the fortified area

used the school, as a firing point in the three-story school there were mortar crews, a fighter with the call sign wolf leads us to ukrainian neo-nazis hid the school boiler room. it was the mortar that did not live. here's what they were drowning in. it's stacking stacking in a drawer among dirty mattresses and cans with sour raznosuls, we find pork stew, zhov, tobacco label, tells us that ukrainian schoolchildren volk and slavyansk naturally read letters from lugansk first-graders into their fists. thank you all so much for your support. especially to kids. it's really. very nice in a different way. this is probably one of the most expensive awards. the fighters on the front line drove the enemy svetlichny to the lower ones. now there is a sweep combat with the callsign peter says that nato is helping the ukrainian military. the mercenaries saw through binoculars. well, either

a georgian, or some southerner from there. you tell us how the village was turned into a real glue. there were practically no civilians here, but the militants rode on motorcycles taken from the villagers, firing from nato weapons. everyone was kicked out of here. and what kind of habit is this of these national battalions. they are so really stubborn. i'll be honest, the combat syringes are all around the storm gate leading us to the place where we should was to be the tomb of the unknown soldier. on the eve of the holiday, the military personnel not only remove the school from the position of the allied forces, but also restore order on the streets, as in any village in the soviet union there was the grave of the unknown soldier here with the advent of the turchinov church, that is, well, the new ukrainian authorities turned this place into a kind of altar . here, if you see here. virgin mary some other

symbols which are in our church, well, there is no such thing in the orthodox church. now luhansk sappers are demining houses, soldiers are burying the bodies of the abandoned for the old people, for us, she was just a grandmother. somebody else's mother, somewhere. maybe there are grandchildren. well, we couldn't leave her like that in the house. as they say, the cat and that, he was buried; the unfortunate woman was an invalid; her husband was killed by shrapnel. she tried to escape, but fell and died without help, and the ukrainian authorities were not going to evacuate the woman. they knew they had a disability. i don’t understand why, when everyone was evacuated, this grandmother was simply not taken out. she would not resist once svetlichnaya was a prosperous agricultural village. here in may 2014. the national battalions entered the school administration and even the kindergarten became real fortified areas for militants. almost all local residents have gone away from sin. and this is a thief. the kindergarten was made into a fortified area. this is what the locals told us all

who stayed here two people. and this is kindergarten . the ukrainian military lived in it as early as 2014. alex is sure that the strongest dugouts were built in the basement of the kindergarten, after all, mentally ill militants hid in the bomb shelter for children when we entered here. there were some strange rooms. everything is like in porn. it's a public system, but they had everything pasted in porn in magazines with pictures under their pillows, they had porn magazines. well, of course, everything was torn from here. here at our house the wives are waiting. once a right warrior from kindergarten. i looked at the light, the pensioners did not have a mustache, my grandmother, did not drive the guest away, but treated him with a strong tincture. she, too, must know all sorts of things on the road. yeah, i say how it means, and where to drive. where will i go? if i was born here, i lived here, i worked here. before i need to be driven, i'm on my own land. and here you are. where did you work? and you say that you

worked in poland. so, for whom did you work for polyakov? and i say, nina sergeevna worked for ukraine, she worked all her life at the local vodokanal that provided water, artyomovsk buried her accordion player's husband, and now she is left abandoned. for the three of us there was not enough space, and a friend came to me, this fuss had just begun. all of her, oh-oh-oh-oh, i say, well, i think, the three of us have been sitting in the basement without electricity for 2 months. without without water. without bread. you on the servants lnr. they promise to fix the roof and clean the cellar, in which the woman herself has been sitting for she does not know how long. thank you very much, they suggested that tomorrow we don’t know victory day, we don’t know anything, i don’t know anything. nina sergeevna was dumbfounded by the news for a minute, and then she sang, this is victory day . nina

is happy with the gifts from the luhansk servicemen, she says they fed her. she is ready to chat with us for hours and ditties and dance. if only dear russians would not leave anymore olga kurlaeva denis tsitseronov kulak mirzayants lead, luhansk according to ukraine in germany, andrey melnik was booed in berlin when the diplomat arrived to lay a wreath at the monument to the dead soviet soldiers, shouts of the nazis and melnik get out of the crowd. andrey melnyk almost disrupted the procession of the immortal regiment in madrid on the streets of the spanish capital on may 8, hundreds of people came out with russian

flags and portraits of participants in the great patriotic war, despite the large number of police guarding the order of the action, they tried to prevent one provocateur from the ukrainian the flag was taken out of the column to the sound of applause in several countries for ceremonial events, representatives of russia were not invited to victory day, how did it become possible, or because of this khramtsov on the occasion of victory day in europe , for the first time, pandemics passed with spectators in the stands and for the first time for debts for decades, among those invited there were no diplomats from russia and belarus, posts and military relations of countries without which the victory simply would not have happened did not receive an invitation. but visited for the holidays representatives of states during the second world war who fought on the side. for the russians of germany, there are ceremonies that will duly pay tribute to the memory of the thousands of fallen soviet soldiers in power.

the austrians tried to justify themselves in their letter, in which they informed the russian embassy that this year, at the celebrations on the occasion of victory day, our diplomats are not waiting for the anniversary of the liberation of europe for many politicians, just another reason to reproach russia in his message, on the occasion of the holiday, british prime minister johnson took the opportunity to once again talk about the support of ukraine, our respect and appreciation for those who fought in previous conflicts strengthens our commitment to support the people of ukraine in their struggle. we will not forget the sacrifices that have been made for generations for the sake of peace and the freedom of europe , and the state, which considers the key event of the war, the opening of a second front, in the summer of 44, the head of the us department of state blinkin, in his address on the occasion, could not stand aside . 77th anniversary of the end of the war in europe, as expected, she did not mention the role of the soviet people in the victory. but he did not forget to accuse moscow of the fact that it was the leadership of russia
