I learned some Russian as a kid, a weird thing for an American kid to do, and visited Russia for a month in 1985 as an individual traveler so that I could wander around on my own instead of in a group. It is so much fun getting to hear little conversations in Russian in the videos. They're happy conversations with useful phrases. You're such an empathetic, kind, happy human being which the world doesn't have enough of to show examples of how to be a good person. Oh, and brave... OMG BRAVE! Yet you laugh through scary moments as a way to handle them and it works. Thank you so much for this channel! It's gotten me through some rough periods. This one was particularly sad to learn about these wiped out villages. We're not taught in school in this level of detail of how bad things were. Damn, I'm really fortunate.

How is the Russian going?

I live in the Mozyr(or Mazyr, we have 2 spellings), the city near Chernobyl and ukranian borders. In 1986-88 after Chernobyl explosion, some part of city were given a choice - you could move out from city to another place in the entire USSR or stay here, but my grandparents decided to stay in Mozyr. Now we don’t have some troubles with radiation (but we have 1 park where you can see old soviet signs bewaring you about radiation, but i can consider you that we are clean). Also we have enough old and leaved buildings, especially in the suburb Pkhow. I would say that they are stuck in soviet times. We have 100k small city. I can only hope if bald visit us.

Unfortunately, WWII was not taught in school. Unless you watched documentaries when young, you won't know. Thanks to historians that have channels on YT, the majority do know that the Soviets suffered the largest amount of human loss. And please don't think we don't know about what other atrocities took place around the world. I'm sure there are many from other countries that never bothered to learn.
