here our guys showed courage of courage and raised the stream to attack the unit by their example. the official name of the mission with which the nineteen-year-old boatswain sergey grigoriev arrived in vangulu in 1977 is to maintain peace and tranquility in the region driven by ideas to help international people, with a light heart went and provided assistance, and unfortunately, not all of this assistance went without loss, they were injured crippled dead. why we didn't have such questions if we were told that we needed to do this. for for the majority of the soviet military who arrived

, it was the first time in their life that they were abroad that they were waiting for a performance there. we enter the bay into the london fog, very strong, nothing is visible at 5 o'clock in the morning, and suddenly the fog clears and we see the capital of a foreign state with very high houses in front of us. with advertising that was for us, then very surprising is the most magnificent london embankment. uh, where palm trees grew , they drove three buses and there were no whole glasses in any bus, that is, during mutiny, all the windows were broken buses were shot in several places and here on this

excursion. at least i understood that we came for a walk from the car from the passenger cuban cuban angolan patrol pulls out a man. shoots and only bloody chips on the wall remained. after gaining independence, the ongols were at the helm of three national liberation movements empola, which was supported by the ussr and cuba unita, which received military support from the united states and the aparthaid regime of south africa and fna, oriented against the usa, france, zaire and other countries of the west , the fna and unita, in fact, having formed a coalition , sought to eliminate the empula from the political arena by military means.

after the recognition of angola, naturally, we sent a fairly large group of military soviets that were very able, uh, to repel an attack from the south with the experience of our advisers with courage, cuban soldiers, and we fought for a very long time, pushing the enemy back, retreating in some territories of the national armed forces of angola against external aggressor or armed opposition did not happen without the participation of the soviet military. this is a quito from about 1981 to 1983, where there were fierce battles and cubans. a lot of uh died there, and among ours. uh , there were much more victims of specialists than in previous years, the angorians themselves said that this is our stalingrad, because in fact it is a small town. some kind of

e on the river, he became e, well, practically, stalingrad where everything was destroyed was completely bombed. uh, destroyed by art arrows. here but nevertheless people held on, went on the attack, retreated. eh, but in the end. eh, the south africans understood what? this will not lead to anything good, because their troops are backed by mercenaries. uh, lost a lot of people. although we also had quite serious losses, i have not only the soviet mission, but also the average cubans. this is also an indication that we provided more than just assistance. and we sent our best sons. and victoria for the ussr

was a war for the political influence of angola, which the soviet leadership saw as an outpost of socialism in africa, it was supposed to become our enclave in the southern part of the mainland and could resist the economically powerful south africa, which was supported by the united states precisely in the fight against imperialism, because any free territory, no man's land, quickly became a territory subject to the capitalists , an american, a british, a french, and we are these territories. and yours, including so that our camp is the camp of our supporters. uh, as quickly as possible, new countries grew on the sailors, a special mission was set out for the ships the soviet navy, among other things, escorted soviet and cuban ships , which transferred troops and military equipment to the head of the ampulla and the government of angola, and fidel personally came

to vanga, personally inspected his troops and encouraged them. unlike us, there were a lot of cubans and there were regular military units, cuba is a small state, and the soviet union is a world politics, and we could not allow that someone would say something about us, therefore, in our military units there are large vojvodina parts of the formation of the vanguls were not exclusively advisers exclusively. uh, specialists cuban pilots flew air battles along with our bombing sorties, cubans, repelled south african air raids very strongly. worked

the cubans trained the angolan special forces, which in 2002 eliminated mr. savvi bibi, thereby ending the civil war completely. during the 17 years of the presence of our military mission , about 40,000 servicemen passed through angola, helping in the construction of the national army, however for a very long time , the soviet union did not recognize the evil participation in the angolan conflict, irony, our military fought, got injured and died in the war, in which, according to the official version of the authorities. they could not be in every possible way, it was forbidden to mention that soviet citizens were there and, god forbid, it would be revealed that they were fighting. one of our ensign soldiers was taken prisoner, by the way,

they were taken prisoner and tortured for a very long time. and in the literal, figurative sense, e that they will confess that he is a soviet citizen. the whole block of times would be a scandal that we are fighting they do not fight, although all the weapons. and the mercenaries were both american and english. uh, from all over the world there were mercenaries who fought, uh, in angola on the side of the army. yegor the same famous gray geese. also there were present. here, uh, they hid it in every possible way. and we also hid sausages so as not to provoke any international scandals. the soviet military, performing their international duty, went in the form of an angolan or cuban regular army without identification marks. often misleading the enemy. we arrived in angola

we weren't allowed to talk about that, and neither did my wife. and when did the pravda newspaper publish soviet servicemen in angola. no, she has a question. where is my husband then? but, and then when there was an order from the minister of defense that combat operations were underway in e vangoli. what is afghanistan and a number of other states, and then only it was possible to say that it was a military adviser? was wangola in the 76th task and the formation of an infantry brigade in the south of the country near the border with namibia for the year he had to learn portuguese from scratch. well for example, uh, when i say or, let's say, i give it to someone, stop, i inform the alto of the situation, well

, there are many such moments when i had to speak portuguese, nikolai ivanovich recalls the angolan commanders , i had to learn a lot from scratch when i arrived directly to the brigade. she was at the stage of deployment of the creation and met her sub-council chief of staff of the brigade. he had an education. four grades seven grades and basically, it was literacy was low, but they grasped everything pretty quickly, what we told them and believed that everything that the soviet military says is correct, the military of the angolan army, the introduction of intelligence, maintenance of military equipment, planning and

battle tactics by a strong opponent. the republic of south africa invaded the territories of the ongola and advanced up to the capital of the longi, this anti-colonial struggle is led by the entula people's movement for liberation from the head and as a result. uh, especially when the soviet union delivered a bm-21 that hit the south american troops, and they began to retreat and the cuban troops, drove them to the very border. well , after all, in 87, the south african republic of its armed forces had to, uh, remove it from the territory of angola because the angolan

army became still strong. so we are armed with our mission of creation. uh, they did some of the union, especially abroad, they say, our military advisers went there for a long ruble. we had no idea that we would be checking some money we were doing and just international duty and doctors and they were all doing international duty. many and military civilian specialists were sent to perform tasks in angola along with their families. nikolai ivanovich had to leave his eldest daughter in a boarding school , the youngest and his wife got used to the congo military field romance. we had to teach the wife how to shoot a grenade, and

the child and run the shelter on command. that is an air raid. you said you have some kind of picture there. there are, of course, my daughter's comrades standing together and guarding our house. uh, the infantry squad and the armed forces are guarding them and our home. mid eighties years, the angolan army almost equalized its forces, the most combat-ready at that time the army of the african continent from south africa, the strengthened embla government begins to assist the national liberation movement of neighboring namibia by providing its territory for training camps.

serbian dragon djokovic has been living in namibia for 30 years, people come to his souvenir shop for badges and t-shirts with portraits of political leaders vladimir lenin nelson mandela sam nuyoma the first president of independent namibia and vladimir putin when russia launched a special military operation with the biggest demand for putin t-shirts, i have been selling them for 15 years, the biggest sales have gone since last year. i went on for about 2.000 t-shirts. yes and this military mistake is also in demand more and more people are asking if there is something with the symbols of the soviet union n

countries gained freedom with the help of the soviet union african republic of mozambique beautiful received military training, weapons training all this they received free so people don't forget and give thanks. africa is definitely for russia and putin since 1966, patriot whiskey introduced the struggle for the independence of their country, which was actually occupied by south african troops. it was considered the south african republic of its fifth province from the sixty-sixth year bc, in fact

, the ninetieth year , the national liberation struggle was going on for more than two decades. military translator igor ignatovich worked for three years in the training camp of the namibian partisans, which was located in angola. people's organization south west africa, as it was officially called, it had a military wing, which had the plan designation of the people's liberation army. namibia in these training centers. within a few months. we trained partisans in a whole range of specialties for artillerymen. in signalmen medics, e-e tankmen, after training at training centers on the territory of angola, they went on an operation. uh, in namibia,

the desert territory is about three hundred kilometers 300 km across the desert. how much water do you need to take with you, food, plus more weapons explosive ammunition? well, that's all, the rest of the radio station is all great to you. three hundred kilometers in order to carry out the operation and in 90% of the 100 uh they did not return back, because the south african troops yor destroyed them. you can imagine what her motivation was. uh, how focused they were. uh, how eager they were to fulfill this task of liberating namibia even at the cost of their lives, and we saw this and we understood, therefore we also offered our best efforts to prepare them qualitatively, so that, well, she had some chance of a camp in which soviet

instructors often visited, the future first president, the independent namibia hay yoma. he attended all the training centers. he visited the military field, lord, who was in the shelter. we, e, worked in fellow countrymen . operating rooms were in fellow countrymen; he visited, uh , repair shops, he visited warehouses, i mean, he was a person who was interested in everything from reviews and in my personal impression , sam well, the humor is exceptionally charismatic personality. and everyone who met him at the first moment felt some trust in him , well, first of all, respect, of course, as a person who devoted his life. here

is this e struggle for the independence of their people of their country. she joined this struggle at a very young age. i am a trained soldier in the namibian liberation army i was in a freedom fighter unit that fired rifles in namibian territory i was trained in this in tanzania i walked 7,000 km. from tanzania to namibia to fight and shoot this rifle. it's not easy being a woman in the army. especially at that age we worked with russians. we had russian instructors at military ranges and military training camps. ak-47 ppsh machine guns makarov katyusha pistols they taught us

how to handle them in such a way as to force the colonists to flee from our country of the liberation movement. namibia , just like once in south africa, at some point they decide that the political wing was active in the first 60 years, first education, and armed actions, and they switched only at the end of the sixties. well, minus the sixty-sixth year, when they already realized that south africa would never. e hmm of his own free will, will not give in and will not leave, and knowledge only then was a decision made at the beginning of the armed struggle. i must tell you that the swapa party and the supporters of the then president samuel. well , youma, they tried several times to talk to the un about the peaceful solution of our issue. we talked about

what in heaven should be released. we talked about what he should allow namibia to have their own government without bloodshed, but we were not listened to then samuel uyoma and other leaders decided to leave the country and go to the friends they trusted the most, they did this in order to organize armaments. this was the only way to resolve the conflict that could affect the colonists, and that regime, besides military training in the field camps of tanzania and angola sophia shaningo. she graduated in the ussr . i was just sent there because we were part of that military resistance. we fought for our countries. and when you are ordered that you cannot say no to your command. we have to travel in your country to ivanovo by profession. i'am a teacher. i am a russian language teacher. it was my specialty today i can proudly

say. my name is sonya, if i show you my diploma, you will be surprised. they were very motivated. no, well, if mrs. shaningoy's knowledge of the russian language was not very useful, then her knowledge in the field of political science and diplomacy received in the ussr helped her a lot in her party activities. you should understand that it is not easy for a woman to do my job. you have to be tough enough to hold a position like mine in the ruling party in order to be chosen as a leader with the knowledge that helped me achieve this. of course, i borrowed from the russian people.

namibia completed its long road to independence in 1991, becoming officially the last african colony to be liberated , the last country on the continent in which the people's liberation struggle could also end with the words uttered by the patrisse lumumba 30 years ago. are we going to show the white man what the black man is capable of when he is toiling in a free country? in 2022, 61 years after the assassination, the belgian authorities handed over the remains of a golden tooth, which was kept as a trophy by an officer involved in the massacre of the prime minister

and placed in a coffin for 9 days. the whole country said goodbye to the legendary people from the airport. in many countries there are monuments to my father, but it was important for us that in the end the main memorial place was in our country in the country, for which he fought in the country for which he gave his blood and his life for me it was to some extent the restoration of historical justice. it was a great day for the family. lumumba is a great day for the congolese people, i believe that this is the second great event that has united africans since the liberation of the modella. so we saw that, despite that brutal desire to destroy the name of lumumba, she remained alive even after 60 years. and he is one of the main symbols

of this hardest struggle of africans for their independence.

as a very young man, he joined the ukrainian galician army. there, they were trained as scouts for saboteurs. and,

of course, the monster, the holocaust in lviv was organized by the ukrainians, 6,000 bandera people were destroyed. western intelligence services kept used in anti-soviet activities. the fundamental task that they left before themselves they have not solved. there are no now 30 one prisoner for yesterday. mercenaries came across mercenaries. we listen on the air. this is

my workplace, my office. here we work and live and manage.
