Trauma and hardship can age you terribly 😢😢

The two photographs above are photographs of one man from two different times. The photo on the left showed a healthy face and the other on the right showed a thinner, tired-looking face plastered with wrinkles. It appeared to be looking through you. As you can also learn from the video, the man in the photograph was an artist named Evgeny Stepanovich Kobytev. The two photographs above were displayed in the Andrei Pozdeev museum. The photograph on the left shows the day before Kobytev aged 30 left to fight the German forces in 1941, and on the right, showed the day he returned from a four-year War in 1945. The photograph on the right was The Human Face after witnessing 4-years of a No-rule war on the front. Whereby the man in the photo not only suffered the hell of the front, but also two years as prisoner of war in German captivity. Because after a few months of fighting he was captured by the Germans and became a prisoner of war. And that was absolute hell to be in the camp called “Khorol pit”. As the prisoner of war camps were actually death camps as a rule although he was actually "lucky", because it was a camp for prisoners of war who were supposed to work together with captured civilians. Because of this, the prisoners in this camp did not starve to death as quickly. Nevertheless, prisoners in the camp were also murdered. Ths camp functioned for several years on the territory of a brick factory. Although the camp was an abandoned brick factory, prisoners were forbidden to take shelter in its buildings. If they tried to escape there from the rain or snow, they were shot. The commandant of this camp liked to observe the spectacle of prisoners struggling for food. He would ride in on his horse amidst the crowds and crush people to death. So during the war-time at the concentration camp of "Khorol'ska pit" was perished 90 thousand soviet prisoners of war and civilians. The video then shows pictures of the Germans that Evgeny saw during his captivity in the camp, which he then drew. Probably even drawn relatively realistically considering what kind of sadistic killers they were. After two years of imprisonment, Evgeny finally managed to escape from this hell. He then fought again against the Germans and was highly decorated for his bravery.
As I mentioned, other prisoner of war camps were mostly death camps where a total of about 3.1 million Soviet prisoners of war were murdered. Most of them starved. Even the transport to the camp serves to murder the prisoners of war. Although there were also death marches to the camps! When the German army transported Soviet prisoners of war by train, it used open freight cars, with no protection from the weather. When the trains reached their destinations, hundreds or sometimes even thousands of frozen corpses would tumble from the opened doors. The death rate during transport was very high! Perhaps two hundred thousand prisoners died in these death marches and these death transports.
In practice, all camps were often nothing more than an open field surrounded by barbed wire. Prisoners were not registered by name, though they were counted. No advance provision was made for food, shelter, or medical care. The official calorie quotients for the prisoners were far below survival levels, and were often not met. Freed Survivors remembered it as pure hell where prisoners were crammed so tightly between barbed wire that they could barely move. They had to urinate and defecate where they stood. At the command of the watchdogs terminally ill living were buried along with the dead.
Soviet prisoners of war were also held in camps in German occupied Poland. Here members of the Polish resistance filed reports to the Polish government in exile in London about the massive death of Soviet prisoners of war. About half a million Soviet prisoners of war starved to death in occupied Poland. Despite the recent Soviet invasion of Poland, Polish peasants often tried to feed the starving Soviet prisoners they saw. They just felt sorry for the starving young men. In retaliation, the German soldiers shot the Polish women and men secretly trying to throw food over the fence, and destroyed whole Polish villages as a punishment.
In fact, these mass killings of prisoners of war were negative for the Nazi troops. Because if soldiers knew that they would starve in agony as German captives, they were certainly more likely to fight. Another side effect was that as knowledge of German policies spread, Soviet citizens began to think that Soviet power was perhaps the preferable alternative as the German occupation and that the Soviet propaganda about the protectors of the working people is correct. Whereby that is only a side effect, because the decisive factor is millions of murdered prisoners of war. And the ramifications of this terror can clearly be seen on the photo on the right.
it's the eyes. he has seen things that have aged him 1000 years
Also the meth
@@Anthony-wq4wethat was the Germans, not the soviets
Sim, voltou com o sofrimento e o terror vivido gravado em seus olhos!
Quanta dor Meu Deus!😢🇧🇷
The eyes, Chico. They never lie. 💔
I imagine the starvation played a part, too.
I could never see what you have seen but I feel it through your eyes…
Through time and space 😢
War is not good for children and other living things.
Sad unfortunately it happens, did 3 deployments of Iraq and my hair is mostly grey
❤ Thank you so very much for your service. ❤
Same as my grandfathers before and after WW2 photos. He looked young and happy in the first. Then eyes looked dead and glazed over in 1945.
Edit: I should also note that my grandpa was known for his survival of D day among some other well known battles.
I thank your grandfather for his service.
That is a man who's been to hell and back.
A man who watched his friends die only for him to survive.
A man who witnessed all the horrors of the war.
That is a man who's seen some shit.
adolf hitler also had suffered from same fate.
@@kanishkdhiman8379wtf

This is what "survival" looks like.
It's not pretty, but it beats the alternative. He remained alive and he lost any illusions he might have had about "heroism", "valor" or "glory".
His eyes have seen the reality of war, and he'll carry that with him for the rest of his life.
Это для вас иллюзии, а советские граждане проявляли великий героизм, сражаясь с европейским фашизмом.
@@ИраБарс-р4шthe soviet's were forced into fighting for the Jewish Bolsheviks who caused the Holodomor in the first place. They were literally forced to fight at gunpoint with the NKVD behind them with guns pointed at their backs. Any surrender resulted in either execution or their remaining family sent to the gulags and or executed.
это для вас "героизм" иллюзия
War is hell
All generations after should be thankful
I think world would have been a better place if the austrian painter had won the war. Still, he was stupid enough to start it.
He was a very young man and quite handsome. I never heard of him.

Thank you for sharing.
OMG what brutes😢
Thank you for the education. ❤
And your sources for this are? That just sounds like the Eisenhower Rhineland Meadows Death Camps holding German POWs after the war.
His eyes clearly show he has seen some horrible crazy shit.
Omg, he looks about 20 yrs older! My maternal grandfather was in the Army n fought in WWII. Not long afterwards he became paralyzed due to a car accident. He was my sweet loving grandpa, I surely miss his hugs n kisses.
yes, this man survived the war, but his face looks so exhausted because he survived the Nazi captivity and remained alive by the end of the war
Yeah looks malnourished, everyone assumed it was just bc of seeing things, which does play a part but not to that degree
That's very powerful just how deep that shock shows in him
Thats what meth does
A perfect example of the thousand yard stare.
The eyes are the window to the soul.
went to war handsome - came back as Gareth Bale
🤣😂
More like Willem Dafoe (green goblin in spiderman). I always felt Gareth bale looks like him
They ages him good and proper
the contrast is truly shocking
What war does to the ones who manage to survive them :(
❤❤❤
Watching this made me emotional. War is a horrible, horrible thing...
Wow crazy
Yea men have it so good throughout history
😶
cry me a river.
men are the ones who created war.
shall we talk about what happens to women in wartime?
no.
i didn't think so.
Wow…you go in at age 19 or 20; and FOUR YEARS later you come out looking like you 80 years old. My Lord. War is ugly. It’s not a good thing at all.
Its one thing to do this to a still photo but I cant even imagine the patience required to do this to the videos you do. Incredible work.
War happens and it's always pointless pride and arrogance 😤 that does unspeakable things to mankind. Every war in history was started over something stupid.
So sad! Soon there will be no more wars or sadness. No one will suffer or be traumatized. These people will be resurrected and healed.
He seen all those reptiles and vamps
War is ....
When was the before pic taken vs when he entered ww2?
Didn’t WW2 last about 4 years? This man has aged 50 years in a 4 year span. The trauma of war.
Ww2 lasted from September 2, 1939 to May 8, 1945
50 years is a huge exaggeration
I'm sorry, man. Life's been hard. I hope you found peace and redemption.
At 1:33 you can see a pic of a snake head on the guys left pic & right collar.. Thats pretty kool lol..
How long after the war? 10,15 years??
Only 4
Not to be mean but why does his after war pic look like thomas shelby
Probably because both men have like 0% facial fat so you can see the contours of his skull all throughout his face, giving them a hardened and chiseled appearance.
He obviously lost weight and along with the stress really took a toll on him.
This is what happens when you dont sleep
I have family who fought. Of four brothers 3 were deployed. One was killed in italy, another took his own life the following year after the war.
The other bairly spoke. The only story we got out of him was about watching a german tank crush a seven year old boy right infront of him.
Its the eyes he does look older. Its cheesy but he looks like he lost some of his soul, like s part of him died
And women think they have it worse. HA.
Talk about 4 years of marriage🤔
🥺 so heartbreaking 💔😢
Looks like he’d lost a lot of weight.
Oh the horrors of war..
Amazing work. Thank you for bringing all this to the Forefront of our thoughts
😮
Those wrinkles are HARDSHIP, FEAR, DEATH!!
“War is not the answer” ☮️
Bro went from the best student in class to the green goblin!
My grandfather was in the Vietnam war and got shot in the foot, saw people and even a couple friends die, he looked about the same after, and has the same exact wrinkliness as he did the day he got taken home, he talked about how hippies would make fun of him and other fellow veterans that had been brought back, unsure of the amount of kills he had or what class he was in.
I will say as a person from Russia, for the last hundreds of years we have had endless wars with someone and probably there is no family that does not have a story about a relative who died in the war, such units. No matter how terrible I consider the war and myself, looking at how people are demonized from both sides, that jokes about the death of people, because they are different, have become the norm, I myself have acquaintances who fell under the tragedy of the war in Ukraine, I understand how terrible it is to feel when their own devalue the feat of your grandfather, who became a victim of politicians and just out of love for his country and people went to war and the most offensive thing is that all these politicians will remain clean, and millions of people have grief
Our solder's need to respected for fighting and protecting our freedom. They need to supported after serving . Its sad how people are in America now a days are Burning flags in college campuses, supporting terrorist groups . Wanting us to be a socialist country .. These brave men and women died so we can have our freedom and rights.. why is our borders opened and we are giving illegals money and care but we have many veterans on the streets , homeless . They are forgotten, not taken care of medically for mental health .. They barely make enough serving in our military.
How sad!!! Millions of lives either lost or ruined due to the greed and whim of the few powerful!
wow if that's a before and after from the horrors of ww2 I wonder can they do one from slavery
I can't imagine how brave of these people are
They autrocities they commit show in their faces.
he was forced to see r/exmuslim for 2 second
How long was he away for?
Bankers wars!
just 4 years btw
that is not the same person, look at the lips and chin, this is fake clickbait
⚡
A few "frau, komm"s later..
His face looks like it aged twenty years.
His eyes look like they aged 200.
He was so handsome 😳
