  • World War 2 history is taught in virtually all schools throughout the world. In western countries we focus mostly on the Battle of Britain, D-Day & the Normandy Landings plus the horrors of the concentration camps. Little space in textbooks is given to what happened on the eastern front, apart from perhaps the Battle of Stalingrad and the siege of Leningrad.
    Until I came to Russia, I had never even heard of Kursk, let alone the epic tank battle which took place nearby.
    Join Kursk native Oksana and I for a walk around to see how the city looks today, before we drive down to Belgorod where Natasha takes over.

    the moment you say 'tank' around 1:48 it's a tank destroyer right behind you ) like, in a way it's literally the opposite of tank (even if built on one's chassis)

    But why combine 2 cities in one video? I bet theres plenty to show in one city per video ❤

      That's a fair point, Alexandra - we decided to add Belgorod at the end because the massive Kursk war memorial is in fact much closer to Belgorod (& we flew back to Moscow from there) !!

    Totally failed topic. You just show tanks and war memorioals. Hey it‘s Russia, it‘s everywhere. No words about beautiful old towns, culture, food, streetlife.
