I had been there in September and it was pretty hard for me to staying there.. every single thing reminds you of those terrible days and time which faced every Russian family
Visited the battle of Russia museum in Moscow. It was an experience I’ll never forget. Standing in the room with all the crystals hanging from the ceiling representing all the Russian people killed in the war while the guide asked for a moment of silence. Then his statement “so many deaths ...and for what?”
Thank you… I was looking for the fountain and was nowhere to be found, then I went to the train station and there it was! Later on I found out it is a copy, the original survived at the original site but later was destroyed or it was beyond restoring, not sure…
Antonio Acevedo Unfortunately not. Everything is in Russian and in this part of the country, unlike Moscow, or St. Petersburg, everything everything is Russian.
Very interesting. It is the first time someone tell about the concrete on the buildings. Ity amuses me this is not something told in documentaries about WWII.
Indeed, I never knew this until my visit to the museum there; basically the bombing by the Germans instead of destroying completely the buildings created a mess of laberints thanks to the skeleton of the buildings that was made of rebar and concrete.
Do you know the fact that Volgograd is officially called Stalingrad six days a year? According to the law "hero-city - Stalingrad" adopted by the city Duma, our city is called on May 9-Victory Day, June 22 - the Day of Remembrance and Mourning, August 23-the Day of Remembrance of the victims of the bombing of Stalingrad by Nazi aircraft, September 2-the Day of the end of World War II and November 19-the day of the beginning of the counteroffensive of Soviet troops near Stalingrad.
@@jetdude787 I think it was a compromise. The veterans wanted the city to be renamed Stalingrad again. But the people whose relatives suffered from Stalin's repressions were against it.
Yup, got your point entirely; when I lived in the island of Guam, in the Pacific, used to go jogging to this peaceful beach, and one day I read a plaque posted there, the island had been the site of fierce battles in WW 2 and in that beach alone, one day, one battle, 5000 Americans and about 33,000 Japanese died, right there. From that day I felt different about that beach....
In Volgograd, there are mainly descendants of those people who were born here, fought, and then restored the city from the ruins after the war. We are connected with this land by our roots.
I know! Especially traveling solo, I was affected because I didn’t understand them, still, they are soo well made that if you know a bit of history, it would be enough to get a point.
I have to visit Volgograd before I die......the heroism shown by the 62nd army,will never be forgotten...long live Russia...!
Сейчас всё закрыто в связи с пандемией. Прогуляться можно, но посетить музеи, выставки не получится.
Glorious history! Russian courage at it's greatest!
Great video! I did watch it before, but man, I really enjoy your videos....
Thank you 🙏
Going to visit next week... Really looking forwards to it!
@@jetdude787 Thanks for your warning. I go with my girlfriend and she is Russian. So I think she will know how to behave there.

jetdude787 it’s sad but at least you got more motivated to visit it again 😉
No one will forget nothing is forgotten-
никто не забудет, ничто не забыто

I was in the same museum and remember being in that room of tears, I think it is called, very very somber…
Nice. Would've liked more of the fountain. Yours is the only vid I've seen that even shows it. Except for wartime images of course.
Thank you…

Thank you for sharing, would love to visit those places, so full of history.
Thank you 🙏
Wonderful! Thanks a lot!
And there it is, the children's fountain. So glad they kept it!
I want to see that....but I am not able to
It’s not difficult to get there... maybe one day...
Any explanation in the museum written in English?
Antonio Acevedo Unfortunately not. Everything is in Russian and in this part of the country, unlike Moscow, or St. Petersburg, everything everything is Russian.
@@jetdude787 Thank You.
Antonio Acevedo You are welcome

Me emociona quando penso nas pessoas que caíram lutando por sua pátria!
Meu mais profundo respeito aos heróis russos!
🙏
Remarkable!
Honra eterna ao patriotismo russo!
Great to see there is no barking dog in a historical museum video comment section.
👍
1:51 please everyone stand up
She's explaining how a big factor in victory was American lend -lease.

Hi! No, I did not know that, but now I do. Thank you very much for the information 🙏
@@jetdude787 😊
@@ВикторияА-ь8ж I like the idea of honoring Stalingrad with its old name six days every year. Great idea!

@@ВикторияА-ь8ж Totally agree, and I think it was the best option; a compromise.
Must be strange living in a place knowing more people died in combat there than anywhere else in human history.

1:00 so disrespectful to laugh at that, за Сталину, за родину! Stalin was a great leader
The laughter you heard was part of the recording at the museum, and maybe scared screams and not laughter.
Cheers 🙏
too bad the museum does not have those expositions in English

History still History. Sejarah tetap sejarah. German noob.
