Victory Day 🎖️and why we must never forget.

I talk about the legacy of the Red Army of the liberation of Europe during WW2 and the attempts to either downplay the contribution of the USSR in defating fascism or to rewrite history. #ww2 #belarus #ussr

    Below is a list of mostly non aggression Pacts with Hitler, signed before the Soviets decided to make a non aggression pact also. ‘On January 26, 1934, Germany and Poland signed a non-aggression pact known as the Pilsudski-Hitler Pact. The document marked the onset of the Polish-German rapprochement, which enabled the Nazis to prepare for its massive aggression against neighboring nations’.30 Sept 2021 Treaties signed with Hitler: 1933- UK, France, Italy - The Four Powers Pact 1934- Poland (in January) • Pilsudsky Pact Poland (in March) - German-Polish Trade Agreement 1935 - UK Anglo-German Naval Agreement 1936 Japan Anti-Comintern Pact 1938 - UK (in Septenber)| German-British Non-Agression Pact 1938 - France (in December)| • German French non aggression Pact 1939- Lithuania (in March) German-Lituanian Non-Agression Pact 1939 - Romania (in March) • German-Romanian Economical Treaty 1939 - Danmark (in May)| German-Danish Non-Agression Pact 1939 - Italy (in May) • Pact of Steel (Friendship and Alliance) | 1939 - Estonia (in June) German-Estonian Non-Agression Pact 1939 Latvia (in July) German-Latvian Non-Agression Pact 1939 - (the USSR in August - German-Soviet Non-Aggression pact)

I like his videos but it's obvious that he has to 'tow the line' regarding what he says to avoid trouble with the authorities. A bit like Mr Bald when he was questioned in Russia. He also said what was needed to stay safe...

You don't see mass migration making it's way to Belarus, Russia, Syria, Burundi or Cuba etc. But you hundreds of thousands monthly try and get into western countries. Why is that?

    Correct. While the narrative in the West has always been that many Soviet citizens were forced into resistance by Stalin (and this may still have truth to it) the facts are that these people suffered brutally at the hands of the Nazis and for much longer than most of the West did. Many people brutally murdered by the Nazis in the East were also Jews and way before it popped up on the West's radar,so to speak. Interesting titbit about Stalin using a pact to try to buy time to arm the Soviet Army to resist the strength of the German military at that time as that is barely spoken of in the Western countries either. Documentaries such as The World at War should be regular watching for schools and colleges as they were for those of us growing up in the 60s/70s/80s so as to never forget these horrors and to prevent them happening yet again.

    Three points on Molotov-Ribbentrop: 1. The Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact was not simply an 'insurance policy', it was a carve up of Europe between nazi-Germany and the USSR. It was more of a 'mutual aggression pact' than a 'non-aggression pact' and led to misery amongst the states allotted to the Soviet sphere. 2. At the time of the Pact, Britain and France had already agreed to come to the aid of Poland. The Pact pulled the rug from under their feet; doing nothing would have been far more helpful. Instead, Stalin promised a joint invasion of Poland and provided supplies to Hitler in his wars against the allies. He positively aided Hitler. This is a fact. 3. If Stalin needed the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact because he was not strong enough to face Germany in 1939, when Britain and France were already committed to war over Poland, what credibility has the assertion that he was genuinely trying to forge an alliance with Britain and France at an earlier date? It might be an exaggeration to say that the USSR caused WW2, Hitler's ambitions were obviously the prime mover, but M-R helped.

    The crucial non-aggression pact was the Hitler-Pilsudski (German-Polish) Pact on 1934. By securing his eastern borders Hitler was able to break the terms of the Versailles Treaty. This had restricted the size of Germany’s army, Navy, and Airforce and demilitarised the Rhineland. Following the Polish German Pact, Hitler was able to remilitarise Germany and move back into the Rhineland (1936). Then Anschluss of Austria was then completed in 1938, before Germany with Poland (and Hungary) took apart Czechoslovakia. Seeing that most other countries in Europe had made a non aggression pact with Hitler and rejected the proposed Soviet security arrangements (Eastern Pact) the Soviets made a non aggression pact too.

    @@rjames3981 Except that the Soviet one wasn't a non-aggression pact, it was a pact to collude in aggression and support each others aggression. Neither the Poles nor anyone else had a secret protocol that arranged the joint invasion of a third country and gave carte-blanche for each party to do what it liked in its 'sphere of influence' with the approval and even help of the other party - and with quotas for materials supplied. The provision of war materials by the Soviet Union to nazi Germany was even extended after the initial protocol was concluded by the German-Soviet Commercial Agreement of 11 February 1940 and the 10 January 1941 German-Soviet Border and Commercial Agreement. So, there is no comparison at all between the non-aggression treaties and the Molotiv-Ribbentrop pact which was intended to support nazi aggression and make it as difficult as possible for the allies to fight it. But the allies did not hold it against the Soviet Union when come-uppance day arrived in June 1941. They were unstinting in their supplies to the Soviet Union and sent nothing at all to nazi Germany to help it in its endeavour. The descendants of the seven million Ukrainians who fought in the Red Army could be excused for thinking that we made the wrong choice.

    ‘It was only when it became absolutely clear that Great Britain and France were not going to help their ally and the Wehrmacht could swiftly occupy entire Poland the USSR decided to send in Red Army units into the so-called Eastern Borderlines, which nowadays form part of Belorussia, Ukraine and Lithuania. There was no alternative - the USSR would have had to enter into the inevitable war with the Nazis from very disadvantageous strategic positions, while millions of people of different nationalities, including the Jews, would have had been left to die at the hands of the Nazis and their local accomplices’

    Good history lessons, but do you still think that we have to sit at the table to negotiate with them while they are trying to kill our leaders like they have done today in Slovakia? Do you think that we have to provide more weapons to our policemen so that they can fight more efficiently arab commandos with war guns like yesterday in France? Nobody will sit at any table to negotiate with anybody, you can be sure of that. I look forward to the end of this year to see what I am almost sure that will happen in the US...
