@@valentinberg7 People tend to forget that the USSR couldn't and wouldn't have won the 'great patriotic war' against Germany without the help from Britain and the USA. Simple fact is that the USSR's economy and industry would have collapsed before '42/'43 without the humongous financial and material aid they received through the lend/lease act. Most visibly, the United States provided the Soviet Union with more than 400,000 jeeps and trucks, 14,000 aircraft, 8,000 tractors and construction vehicles, and 13,000 battle tanks. However, the real significance of Lend-Lease for the Soviet war effort was that it covered the "sensitive points" of Soviet production -- gasoline, explosives, aluminum, nonferrous metals, radio communications, and so on, says historian Boris Sokolov. Khrushchev said in his memoirs: "If the United States had not helped us, we would not have won the war," he wrote in his memoirs. "One-on-one against Hitler's Germany, we would not have withstood its onslaught and would have lost the war. No one talks about this officially, and Stalin never, I think, left any written traces of his opinion, but I can say that he expressed this view several times in conversations with me." ."In a hypothetical battle one-on-one between the U.S.S.R and Germany, without the help of Lend-Lease and without the diversion of significant forces of the Luftwaffe and the German Navy and the diversion of more than one-quarter of its land forces in the fight against Britain and the United States, Stalin could hardly have beaten Hitler," Sokolov wrote in an essay for RFE/RL's Russian Service.

It took all 3 of them to finally defeat Germany and it still took them 4 years to do so.

Germany was not interested in stopping at France. Though it was far off, if everything went well for the Germans, invasion of the Industrial powerhouse that was the United States was almost a certainty. The Russians had a lot to lose sure; it’s not a competition though. Everyone had stakes in the war.

Defenders of democracy? Germany and that fat hag merkel are now defenders of islam a completely anti democratic ideology in fact theyll attack democracy to defend islam
No problem from the Russian point of view. Russians as a people feel closer to Germans than the English and USA. For the average Russian the presence of USA Troops would be harder to handle than that of Germans. Understandable. Those two nations have never paid due respect to the Russian people for the sacrifices they made and the losses they suffered. Germany though understands. In terms of Culture Russians share much more than the UK and USA. After all it is a very spiritual day for Russians. A day of celebration and remembrance and honouring those who fought. The Parade in Red Square is impressive enough but the Millions of people that gather in the Streets all over Russia and have a Parade carrying Photos of those lost and who fought is truly impressive. All remembering and honoring those that fought. Putin and Russian Politicians walk with them. That must worry his Security people. Australian.
@@skippy5712 Russians were collaborating with Hitler, and occupying neighboring countries just like Germany. Yet Russia tries to sweep that under the rug, and play total victim. If they told both sides like it is, the west would be more forgiving.
@@mountainguyed67 Russia was signing a non aggression treaty with Germany one year after Britain and France had been in bed with Hitler at Munich to betray Czechoslovakia. You must not forget that ! History was a fatal sequence of cause, reaction, change and result. But not a collection of individual events.
The Russians did play a large part in winning the war but one must not forget that it was a joint effort, even Stalin and Zhukov had to admit that the war probably couldn’t have been won by Russia alone. Stalin said “the war was won by British intelligence, American industry and Russian blood.”
Yeah, It's not like the US sent millions in aid through lend lease for which even Stalin himself emphasized as a major contributing factor to the Soviets successes. Not to mention the allies did most of the fighting in the Pacific and North Africa meanwhile the Soviets didn't declare war against Japan until the very last month. Arguably the US did contributed the most by supplying the UK, kicking the Nazis out of North Africa and Italy, Liberating Europe, Destroying the Imperial Navy, sending aid to the Chinese, island hopping, and finally the surrender and occupation of Japan.
@@FloofyMinari Yeah But most damage was done to soviet union after germany itself. On lend lease treaty wikipedia page, its written that Roosevelt Thought that if Soviet lost then US will also loose to Nazis
It is truly a tragedy, because of what’s happening now, I can never imagine this happening again as the diplomatic relations of Russia to the west has been at its lowest since the dawn of the USSR. But I still have small amounts of hope wishing for better relations in the mere future
Funny thing is that we are taught since our childhood at school that the allies were just chilling and waiting until the winner is determined to just swoop in at the end and grab a piece of post-war pie. The fact that Britain engaged Germany 1.5 years before USSR is conveniently ignored.
if you atually studied history, you'd know that germany and the USSR signed the molotov-ribbentrop pact during the time britian fought germany. also you must be jewish
to us Germans, it isn't really awkward. As we don't associate ourselves with the Nazi regime, We see those who liberated us with respect and honor, because we are a land of freedom and unity. Our only duties are to know the history, and never repeated it again :)
I always wanted to ask germans, what do they tell you in schools about this period? I mean, do they like speak about it for hours or just saying, that it was a huge mistake, lets don't do the same, ever?...
As a Russian I can confirm that me personally, to this day (may 2023), would not be against American troops coming to march again on the Red Square to celebrate the Victory Day, but only if the reason they are coming would be a Victory celebrations, and not any sort of provocations. I think a lot of people would not be against that. We have to be consistent, if we're saying that Victory Day is about people that were victorious, veterans, labour veterans and all the people affected by that war, and not about the current thing, or current political situation, we need to be welcome to all the allied nations on the parade. And I think this wouldn't be a problem (not from the Russian authorities at least) if American or British troops would like to come, but I don't think that American or British authorities would allow this to happen, and also I don't think that a reversed situation is possible to happen. I don't believe that American authorities would ever allow Russian troops to march in Washington D.C. to celebrate WW2 Victory, nor they ever would allow this in the past years. And that's the difference between us. Hopefully these differences will be solved in the future.
Maybe so...but what you haven't addressed is the lie the Russian Victory day purports, and the accusations it paints on not just your allies... your saviors...no one appreciates how you look down on the west...you people of Slav origin need to recognize exactly where you came from and why you think it is ok to lie and look down upon others for their sacrifices and good will, just so you can pretend you are better than the 5th world country your leadership has dragged you down too. Putin paints himself as a messiah today...forgetting how much money and aid the US and Europe poured into Russia to help your people after the fall of the communist regime. Instead...he took that money and built a military with design on world dominance. Tell me again why we should believe anything from Russian mouths! In a more humble way of course if you truly believe any of what you first wrote.
I dunno, man. US and Russia could become very productive allies. They already cooperate a lot of scientific research, space and even on patrolling the Bering Sea. Maybe sometime in the future
I wish the russian government would have a much more open mind to america. Washington multiple times have asked russia to be a trade ally against china. China is the real threat honestly.

It kind of brings a tear to the eye and a sense of hope for the future.
Defenders of democracy? Germany and that fat hag merkel are now defenders of islam a completely anti democratic ideology in fact theyll attack democracy to defend islam
No problem from the Russian point of view. Russians as a people feel closer to Germans than the English and USA.
For the average Russian the presence of USA Troops would be harder to handle than that of Germans.
Understandable. Those two nations have never paid due respect to the Russian people for the sacrifices they made and the losses they suffered.
Germany though understands.
In terms of Culture Russians share much more than the UK and USA.
After all it is a very spiritual day for Russians. A day of celebration and remembrance and honouring those who fought.
The Parade in Red Square is impressive enough but the Millions of people that gather in the Streets all over Russia and have a Parade carrying Photos of those lost and who fought is truly impressive. All remembering and honoring those that fought. Putin and Russian Politicians walk with them. That must worry his Security people.

Merkel is an EU Jewish puppet, so not really surprised.
@@skippy5712 Russians were collaborating with Hitler, and occupying neighboring countries just like Germany. Yet Russia tries to sweep that under the rug, and play total victim. If they told both sides like it is, the west would be more forgiving.
@@mountainguyed67 Russia was signing a non aggression treaty with Germany one year after Britain and France had been in bed with Hitler at Munich to betray Czechoslovakia. You must not forget that !

And now we are here…
The Russians did play a large part in winning the war but one must not forget that it was a joint effort, even Stalin and Zhukov had to admit that the war probably couldn’t have been won by Russia alone. Stalin said “the war was won by British intelligence, American industry and Russian blood.”
I’m happy Americans were in the parade, good relations lead to a better world

You’re about 10 years too late. Relations have already deteriorated again.

2:01 he actually said "Thank you to Our allies that they, at least in the end of war, helped us".
As opposed to the beginning of the war when the Soviets were allied with Germany🙊
@@HayastAnFedayi They were not allied it was a treaty to not be attacked and Germany then attacked.
Yeah, It's not like the US sent millions in aid through lend lease for which even Stalin himself emphasized as a major contributing factor to the Soviets successes.
Not to mention the allies did most of the fighting in the Pacific and North Africa meanwhile the Soviets didn't declare war against Japan until the very last month.
Arguably the US did contributed the most by supplying the UK, kicking the Nazis out of North Africa and Italy, Liberating Europe, Destroying the Imperial Navy, sending aid to the Chinese, island hopping, and finally the surrender and occupation of Japan.

It is truly a tragedy, because of what’s happening now, I can never imagine this happening again as the diplomatic relations of Russia to the west has been at its lowest since the dawn of the USSR. But I still have small amounts of hope wishing for better relations in the mere future

Funny thing is that we are taught since our childhood at school that the allies were just chilling and waiting until the winner is determined to just swoop in at the end and grab a piece of post-war pie. The fact that Britain engaged Germany 1.5 years before USSR is conveniently ignored.

@@DonDon45-i5h probably the most random response to my comment, which makes no sense, but whatever.
„ 8 years from now people will learn about it in social studies“ 14 years later i hear it for the first time
to us Germans, it isn't really awkward. As we don't associate ourselves with the Nazi regime, We see those who liberated us with respect and honor, because we are a land of freedom and unity. Our only duties are to know the history, and never repeated it again :)
I always wanted to ask germans, what do they tell you in schools about this period? I mean, do they like speak about it for hours or just saying, that it was a huge mistake, lets don't do the same, ever?...
As a Russian I can confirm that me personally, to this day (may 2023), would not be against American troops coming to march again on the Red Square to celebrate the Victory Day, but only if the reason they are coming would be a Victory celebrations, and not any sort of provocations.
I think a lot of people would not be against that. We have to be consistent, if we're saying that Victory Day is about people that were victorious, veterans, labour veterans and all the people affected by that war, and not about the current thing, or current political situation, we need to be welcome to all the allied nations on the parade. And I think this wouldn't be a problem (not from the Russian authorities at least) if American or British troops would like to come, but I don't think that American or British authorities would allow this to happen, and also I don't think that a reversed situation is possible to happen. I don't believe that American authorities would ever allow Russian troops to march in Washington D.C. to celebrate WW2 Victory, nor they ever would allow this in the past years.
And that's the difference between us. Hopefully these differences will be solved in the future.
Maybe so...but what you haven't addressed is the lie the Russian Victory day purports, and the accusations it paints on not just your allies... your saviors...no one appreciates how you look down on the west...you people of Slav origin need to recognize exactly where you came from and why you think it is ok to lie and look down upon others for their sacrifices and good will, just so you can pretend you are better than the 5th world country your leadership has dragged you down too. Putin paints himself as a messiah today...forgetting how much money and aid the US and Europe poured into Russia to help your people after the fall of the communist regime. Instead...he took that money and built a military with design on world dominance. Tell me again why we should believe anything from Russian mouths! In a more humble way of course if you truly believe any of what you first wrote.
Don’t take it personally. The reason why Russian troops wouldn’t be invited is because it’s not a holiday and US troops themselves don’t march.
How sad, we were almost friends.
Fun fact: The last time American troops actually set foot in Russia was in Vladivostok (1918-1920) during the Russian civil war

How times have changed 😢
Russo-American military cooperation is an elusive, but attainable goal in a much troubled world.
I wish the russian government would have a much more open mind to america. Washington multiple times have asked russia to be a trade ally against china. China is the real threat honestly. While you can call americans nationalist all you want, we dont take over adghanistan and call it an american state whilst having anything other than an economic presence.
@@honkhonk8009 America is the real threat waging un-necessary wars around the world.. It's good that China and Russia are friends cuz they fight the same rival - US.
@@honkhonk8009 It's a two way street. You'll find just as many distrustful Americans as you'll find Russians distrustful of us. The leadership on both sides is very cold war minded right now.
@@honkhonk8009 China is a supposed to be a bigger threat to you instead of none at all, and so you have to play nice to everyone else you beg for. Even weaker powers scare you though. Your alliance with smaller Western states didn't even exist until your Germany surrendered in 1945, in case you're too dumb to remember your history.
10 years later, the world is a whole different place now...
It’s chilling to see this now
Feels weird now in 2024
Good relation between Russia and USA is impossible now, not because they are enemies, but the american moguls have their own interests in keeping tensions between these 2 superpowers. It s not about the people…

Not an alliance, a pact, and he doesnt consider anglo-french alliance since the start, but only the americans and the conjoined D-day
@@M.I.Antoniniit was a fully functioning alliance including mutual military agreements and the supply of resources.
@@UA-cammessedupmyhandle a pact, not an alliance, a pact regarding the division of territory and commercial exchange. Without the presence of direct military assistance in conflicts which is crucial for the matter of the definition of what separates an alliance from a non-belligerance pact
@@M.I.Antonini
1 a pact is just a word chosen to avoid the fact - it was also ‘non aggression’, while actually being about aggression.
2 there was direct military assistance including simultaneous invasion of Poland
3 an alliance doesn’t have to be direct military assistance anyway - it just has to be mutual benefit.
Call it what you will, the USSR was Germany’s ally
Funny how France and England managed to do absolutely nothing and funny how russians and Germans never had alliance
In my opinion it was a great gesture from Putin to invite American troops to take part in Victory Day parade at Red Square.
One of the signs given by Putin that was never reacted to. Unfortunately this tradition is not continued.

Because it was not Putin, it was Medvedev. Putin was prime minister back then.

I see it as more symbolic. It was a time when two nations that would have otherwise been at each other's throats joined up and became an unstoppable force. Imagine if that alliance didn't break apart after the war.

При этом Польша сама была не против передела версальских границ и после Мюнхенского соглашения 1938 года, вместе с Германией и Венгрией приступила к разделу чехословацкой территории.

It always seems everywhere WWII vets always talk about coming together as a whole world to fight for peace while all the vets after that era all get on the "My country did the most!" wagon
We were taught in Britain that Britain won the war and Russia and America aided us in America I’ve heard that they were taught that America won the war and now it seems that Russia thinks they won the war
James Evans yea sadly that’s true why can’t we all accept that it was a major allied effort
Well four years of fighting and 27 million people lost from SU side. Barbarossa plan was the largest invasion in human history so I think it’s fair to say that Soviet Union’s role in the victory was the largest. But allies have done a lot also no doubts. Any human life is priceless.
