- Hey guys! Finally, I'm back. Apologies for the delay, this one was a hard one to write and edit. I had to do a lot of research and watch a lot of Russian propaganda. Not fun.

You know it's bad when a newscaster openly says over the air that they don't want to say their real opinion because they will certainly be imprisoned for it
Not just their opinion - any opinion is ill in this situation
same in the West! Listen to the disclaimer before the video starts.
Hey when can I have my guns back?
@@mathiasalexander6119 Nobody in the US is being imprisoned for say a opinion not approved by the state.
You shouldn't feel bad for him. He is one of the main war instigator and supporter, just as anyone else on the state TV.
All TV for past 10 years is de facto a state TV.
Yeah, my grandparents were 'evacuated' by the Russians back in 1939 from Poland (now Ukraine, a little ways south of Lviv).
They were taken on cattle trucks to Siberia, and the ones that survived were used as slave labour. They were told Poland will never exist again, and they had to learn russian and think of themselves as russian now.
It was only after Operation Barbarossa that they were granted amnesty, and my family were among the lucky few that managed to escape Russia with the Polish army to Palestine.
It fucking breaks my heart that the Ukranians are having to go through the same thing again 80 years later, and nothing has made me angrier than seeing tankies and the russian government trying to justify it.
Prepare to be surprised.
same with my great grandmother, she was brought to Kazakhstan and forced to learn russian. (the audacity in that btw.) not knowing the language or really anyone she was taken away from her parents into a foster family that didn't care for them, they basicly were slave workers that ate whatever the locals didn't finish and that she survived at all is a miracle
Regarding the so called nazis in Ukraine, it got especially cringe when Russian state media invited a Belgian to say he loves Russia, and that Russia is fighting against fascism.
Small detail, the Belgian guest was a neo nazi with a criminal past, whio was kicked out a far right political party for being too extremist
Given how Medvedev is still in his position in Russian politics, that's quite low-hanging fruit.
Russia is a Nazbol state.
there are Nazis everywhere in Ukraine u bozo its not a lie
Check this out, it's a play on words: Not-Zs.
Ukrainians are "Not-Zs" because they are not ethnic ruZzians.
He was exiled. From the far right. For being t o o extremist
The black man toilet skit is by far my favorite. As an African American, I find think hilarious. They could not even find a black man with an American accent to play the part and the African actor makes no attempt to pretend to be American which makes it all the funnier. Russia, can we have more of this comedy. I had no idea you all could be this funny.
The video author calling it "racist, sexist, etc." is completely missing the point and hes basically the guy the skit is making fun of.
The reality is that this portrayal of American society is false. If things were actually like that, it would be horrible and I would run away to Russia too. But the reality is, most humans are normal people and the "black people get to cut in line" would never actually fly in any western country because of the massive number of discrimination lawsuits that would be filed.
The video author failed to point this out, and instead fell into the trap and embodied exactly what the skit mocked.
@@PrimetimeXyeah the video is just an exagerarion hahahahah, imo its funny asf and as an european i kinda agree with it (not from the russian point of view)
@@prodtxxzy And btw, if society does ever turn into that level of discrimination then I will definitely go to Russia or whatever. I do not take disrespect or discrimination lightly. But luckily, alot of the stuff on the internet has never actually manifested this way in real life. In real life, people generally keep to themselves like they do in pretty much every country
The most hilarious thing I've heard from the pro-Russians TH-cam comments is when they tried to downplay the retreat from Kherson city by referring to it as just a "town".
They'd need nukes to destroy that 'town', I wonder if they are trying to let them take it then artillery it into the ground, but supplies aren't exactly russia's good strengths.
don't this mean they admit Russia choosed a "town" as the new capital of an anexed state?
@@marrvynswillames4975 Bold of you to assume they thought that far ahead. Or at all.

"We saved them from the mustache man with our own mustache men"..........amazing
When it comes to anything to do with a mustache contest britain tends to win it.
As an alternate history fan I kinda want to get my hands on some of those Russian novels where both mustache men team up to defeat the *real* enemy: Britain!
@@davidty2006 only if not the only mustache man in UK at the time was Chamberlain...
Guys guys you don't get it. The globalists, Ukrainian ultranationalists, lgbt, far right, jews and nazis have all conspired to destroy Russia by maliciously living in not-Russia.
the mustache wars. thats why england was losing.
When discussing Nazis from the Russian perspective, the very first thing you have to keep in mind is that Russians are focused on the exact opposite side of the coin that Americans and much of the Western world are focused on.
The American perspective is that the Nazis are / were bad because of the ethno-nationalism, the racism, the holocaust, the war crimes, the populist assault on liberalism, etc. Yes, they were also aggressive warmongers, but that's ultimately *not* what makes them history's greatest villains to Americans. If anything, the militarism is what Americans respect about them.
To the Russians, that *is* what makes them history's greatest villains. No one since the Mongols managed to cause such devastation. No one since Genghis Khan was ever such an existential threat. Not Napoleon, not the Ottomans, not Sweden, not even Kaiser Wilhelm.
When Americans say "Nazi" they mean "genocidal totalitarian," but when Russians say "Nazi" they mean "existential threat from The West."
Thus, it doesn't matter that Zelensky is Jewish or that Russia itself is the closest thing to a fascist state in the modern world. Ukraine is run by Nazis because Ukraine is run by people who hate and fear the threat of Russian power. That they share cultural and historical ties with Russia and share a border makes them the greatest threat and therefore the greatest Nazis on earth in Russian eyes.
"DeNazification" can be viewed as an update to the old pre-Soviet concept of "Russification." The 'lesser' slavs must be shepherded into the superior ways of Russian culture and made part of the Russian nation, by whatever means possible. Until this is accomplished, they are not Russian, and whatever is not Russian is a threat and therefore a "Nazi."
That's bullshit. I'm Russian, and I can add some perspective to it. By calling them Nazis they are calling them out *exactly* for the things that make Nazis bad guys from western perspective. They're just hypocrites, and don't see that they're doing the same thing they accuse Ukrainians and "the West" of. I talked with many pro-war people, and while speaking about the topic of Nazis in Ukraine, they are pointing out ethnic cleansing of Russian-speaking population in Ukraine. The burning of Odessa building, confirmed by international commitees cases of torture of Donbass citizen by Azov, and so on. Doesn't matter if most of it is propagandist bullshit -- if you disprove one thing, they'll find some cases you can't really disprove, and that's the fascinating thing. By their logic, the stuff that Russian soldiers do should be the proof that we are nazis, too -- it seems like if there's torture or beating or killing somewhere by the people from the country motivated by race of those who are tortured, it makes the ENTIRE country a neo-nazi state, not some groups or marginals. And when we kill and/or torture Ukrainians, it's all justified -- we're supposedly fighting against the whole country of neo-nazis because there were some crimes against the ethnic minorities or because... Azov. Yeah, they have Azov, we have Wagner group, they beat and tortured Russians, and I saw a video of how Russian soldiers cut off the balls of the Ukrainian soldier, and everyone in the comments was cheering those freaks on. They don't understand that war is the breeding ground for crimes against humanity, and *we* started it. When elephants fight, it's the grass that suffers.
That's the best description I've heard yet. Thank you
Just to add, Nazi is a term coined by the Communists to undermine the relation to the National Socialists in Center Europe. Both were Socialist Ideologies and the Soviets and afterwards did not want any relation with them to have a good Antagonist.
@@MrDerKnofiThat is incredibly wrong, the Nazis were no socialists, from a political & historical scientific Perspektive, fascism is the most radical form of capitalism.

“General Steinavich’s offensive” is a criminally underrated joke

49:26 That was actually the standard method of removing anti-tank mines taught in the South African army. The reason being the mines were often booby-trapped to detonate from the slightest movement, so it was too risky to unscrew the detonator in situ. The sapper would (very carefully!) clear a small amount of earth around the mine, attach a hook, unwind about 20m of cord, and then flip the mine over from a safe distance. I never found out why they didn't just shoot it from a distance or use a small demolition charge to dispose if them.
As you said it may be booby-trapped and you could set off a chain of sympathetic detonations, detonations whose possible locations are everywhere and nowhere, especially the everywhere you and your men are standing. Explanation given to me years ago when I asked an EOD/UXO guy the same question. Sometimes they do shoot if there is a real time-crunch, but only larger IEDs and then from a significant distance using an anti-materiel rifle.
If you can see it, it can see you.shrapnell might hit you
shooting it from a distance is why US military EOD teams have the Barrett .50 cal. the just shoot it option has a possibility of going wrong and setting of linked explosives.
We used to use a 20m then went to a 50m pulling rope due to new Soviet AP bounding mines with a much lager lethal radius - that was for silent breaching when you dont want the naughty side to know you were clearing them for a gap (or to see what sort if any booby traps were used)
We would use a 1/3 stick or more of PE4 set up with a ring main to detonate those found in a single go (which could set off sympathetic detonation of others around the area - for a noisy breach or individual boobytraps/IED/mines/bombs)
Anti material rifles are not that common in a unit, we had none in our Sapper Sqns, they were reserved for dedicated EOD units
They are booby-trapped against sapper, with simple device like a grenade placed under.
It is not the mine that is the danger to the sapper and if you shoot it the explosion will be massive and very dangerous.

To be honest though their is a danger to having NATO enter that plain. Honestly if Russia wasn't so fucking hilariously incompetent they could've scooped up Ukraine before NATO started sending them everything but the kitchen sink.
23:12 important correction: this is a deliberate policy, Victory day was a minor holiday for a long time, only becoming a huge celebration when super-patriotism became necessary. And even now I would consider New Year a bigger holiday.
This. Victory Day was holiday untill 23 december of 1947, when holiday was transferred to New Year instead.
Next big celebration with parade and other things? 1965. 20 years anniversary and 7 years after Stalin's death! What other dates? 1975, 1985. That will give total count of tree parades.
Nowadays it's, well, year routine with demonstration of power, "new toys" and "West forgot that *we* won this war, so we need to remember it".

@@ReySchultz121 communism is basically just feudalism by another name. Ruling aristocrats with personal loyalty to the head of state that move around people like serfs and force them to work on government projects in return for whatever wage, often paid in food and supplies, that the aristocrats feel like paying and often toiling away on large plantations and collectivized farms or in large mines owned by the state. Serfs starve while their rulers feast, food is confiscated by the aristocrats to ensure their own financial well being at the expense of the serfs. It's kind of crazy Russians pretend like their nostalgic for communism and any of it's supposed ideals when they're really just missing being a powerful empire with colonies to supply the Russian majority with cheap materials and goods; they're like the British nationalists who yearn for England's glory days but at least the British are mostly ashamed of their imperial/colonial past even when they are proud of their power and influence but Russia lacks that kind of self awareness.

I am an American and in all seriousness one year ago I barely new Ukraine existed. In the last year I have grown to care more about Ukraine than any other country except my own. I've grown to feel a genuine love for your country, your culture, and your history.
Speaking of your history I plan to write a comprehensive history of the Russo-Ukranian War to share with the world the story of your country's struggle for survival.
When the war is over and Ukraine has had a few years to recover I plan to travel there to learn more of your culture and history so I can do a better job on this project. I also wish to learn Ukranian.

I second that👌
I want to remind once again: the Iron Cross is still used by the german army. It dates back way before the 3rd Reich. Yes it has this background, but german soldier under other idologies also used it. Ukrainian might use it because they go our equipment to show their gratitude, for the memes or whatever. But this symbol is not that closley tied to the 3rd Reich as People think.
Unfortunately for many Germany was birthed in 1930's and it never existed before then. For those who know better would say modern Germany was birthed in the mid 19th century but its people's and culture span over thousands of years. People are to lazy to do simple research when knowledge is literally at their fingertips.
I feel like it's because of modern media's obsession with replacing the swastika with the Iron Cross. It has caused people to assume they're interchangeable.
This is fine and everything... but when the Azov Regiment's symbol is a Wolfsangel, the unit insignia of SS Division Das Reich... and Ukraine is a Post Soviet State with no land border and minimal cultural crossover with Germany... And their nationalist movement collaborated with the Nazis... I don't think it's use is an accident. Or used in the Imperial German context.

At 49:00 you ask why they are using a grapple on an AT mine, the reason is to ensure there are no anti-lift devices under it, i.e. booby traps to stop people just lifting the mine and moving it. This is normal procedure for large mines. And yes, if you just want to clear it, it would be possible to just place a charge on it, but you need to take into consideration the surroundings or if you wanted to reuse the device.

This is true, we were tought to use the same method durring our mine sweeping lessons back when i was a conscript in the Danish army ten years ago.
our instructors would instal different types of simulated ant-ilift devices under and and next to the mines leaving us wit fireworks, smoke grenades and paint-charges going of in our faces if we messed things up.

Army: When?
...
Air Force: Now they are ground vehicles
Navy: The ships turned into submarines
Army: A Javelin and the tanks evolves into helicopters.
The mine thing ( 49:24 )is, as far as I know, to make sure there is not a secondary mine under the AT mine. Sometimes in order to kill engineers clearing minefields, armies put an AP mine under an AT mine, so that when the AT mine on top is removed, the AP mine below is triggered and kills or severely injures the engineers. That's got the purpose of moving the mine around safely from the cover of a wall, a tree or a foxhole so that in case there is a secondary mine, that's the only thing blowing and you can then disarm the primary mine more safely.
This. If you can't prevent enemy engineers from clearing the minefield, the minefield needs to defend itself. Hence, AP mines & traps for the engineers and big explosives against the mine clearing vehicles & equipment.

@@tarektechmarine8209 careful comrade. Might overdose on the cope.
It's worth noting that the massive amount of suffering and death that occurred during the German occupation of Ukraine in WW2 was due to the Kremlin's complete military incompetence. Hundreds of thousands of men were killed due to Stalin's insane orders not to retreat, lack of preparation, and formation of "black militia"/people's militia battalions that died in unbelievable masses while inflicting no damage onto the Wehrmacht; similar to how mobilized Russian soldiers today are thrown into trained Ukrainian troops. The Wehrmacht was largely able to completely smash through Ukraine into Russia due to Stalin's refusal to believe any intelligence regarding the impending German invasion.
Incredible destruction could have been avoided had Ukraine and Belarus not been under control of the madmen in Moscow in 1941.
True. The Ukraine War is not the first time Russia leaders have employed Meat Wave attacks. They’ve been using the same tactics (literally) since the 18th-19th century.
@@grahamstrouse1165their whole history lol
@crabluva Please correct your comment. I hope you are not referring to The Ukrainian People's Militsiya with "People´s militia battalions". The Ukrainian People's Militsiya didn´t fight against the Nazis. They fought against the Soviet Union.
Ukrainian People's Militsiya was an Antisemitic faction created by the organisation of Ukrainian Nationalists and was an active ally of the nazis. They targeted minorities and Polish people and they are said to have killed up to 100K Poles in Volhynia, Eastern Galicia, parts of Polesia and the Lublin region from 1943 to 1945.
I hope you didn´t refer to "People´s militia battalions" as this group and this is just a misunderstanding...
Please go check out ---) organisation of Ukrainian Nationalists, if you wanna read more.
That propaganda ad seemed like a comedy movie
It's true that there were Ukrainians that collaborated and aided the Germans in WW2, but that's hardly a unique thing. The grim reality is that basically everywhere the Germans went, they recruited from the local population to aid in the Holocaust. Lithuania in particular saw such large participation from the population the Jewish population was virtually annihilated.
Its telling the Russian Federation just ignores how many Russians collaborated with the Germans. Or how the Wagnet Group is headed by a Neo Nazi psycho.

One thing that this conflict has shown me is how, even in the absence of direct propaganda, a narrative can be created and kept alive by selectively reporting on things. If an act of russophobia happens, Russian media will overreport on it, making it seem as if it's a constant thing, whilst Western media will, if anything, bury it in some footnote. It does not take propaganda to influence people and shape an opinion. All it takes is selective reporting. Please do note that I am not taking sides here; it's a general observation.
Well yeah, though I’m learning that some of it doesn’t really even need to be intentional. Like I know Ukrainian and mostly understand Russian, and there’s like so many things I can say about the war but the question is being able to have time or a chance to mention it (like I cannot understate how much Ukrainian TH-camrs have fundraised for the troops and continue to fundraise).
Very true. And one of my biggest worries is honestly what I read from people of "my side" - who will happily denounce Russian propaganda as what it is, and call Russians stupid (or worse) to believe it, but then happily never question or fact-check their own chosen news sources. Obviously you'll be hard-pressed to find something as outrageously biased and misinforming as Russian state TV in western mainstream media, but that doesn't mean there's no mistakes, no deliberate or accidental bias, and no propaganda there.
It's far more pronounced on NATO side.

RT is banned from TH-cam. We don't get any Russian news. In February 2022, RT America shutdown and gave all its employees 3 months pay. 😃😃😃😃😃
36:08 there are days I am surprised the term “reverse-advance” are not used unironically by the Russians. This report is one of those instances where I fully expected to hear it.
Ukrainian here, this was surprisingly accurate, though I I have to make a correction. It is true, there were ukrainian nationalist regiments who joined the SS during ww2, but they are not glorified today. At the beginning of ww2 there was the ОУН (organization of ukrainian nationalists) organized by Stepan Bandera who was thrown in prison by the germans pretty quickly. There was another leader with more radical ideas, who is not glorified in ukraine today, his name was Melnik. So the OUN was split into 2: the Banderi and the Melniki. The ss regiments youve heard of consisted of those more radicalized nationalists, I have to accentuate that those people are not glorified in Ukraine today. The followers of Bandera fought both the nazis and the russians
He said a lot pretty accurately things, but the anti UPA narrative was straight out of Soviet propaganda handbook.
Very true, Russia forgot very quickly that they would be speaking German were it not for the aid sent to them by the allies, with great loss of life by the poor souls in the Merchant navy. Ukraine lost a huge amount of their army holding the German army back. Putin is a dyed in the wool communist, as George Orwell said (Animal Farm) "All pigs are equal but some are more equal than others." The riches that have flowed into the pockets of Putin and his cronies prove that Orwell was ahead of his time. The Russians on the whole appear vicious and backward, dare I say it, STUPID! Please have your items translated and blitzed into the Russian you tube, oh, be careful, if someone in Russia accuses you of cyber bullying you might, as I was, be given a warning (threat) from you tube. Good luck, and keep up the good work.
This is essentially the reason behind Poles' anger towards Ukraine, and why the overwhelming support towards Ukrainians was in a way unexpected; for us, especially being from eastern Poland, seeing red and black flags carried by Ukrainians during different protests or celebrations, or to see how Zelensky celebrated Bandera's birthday, when he was one of the masterminds behind ethnic cleansing of Poles and Jews from western Ukraine, slaughtering around 100k defenseless women and children while men were busy fighting Nazis, in such brutal way that even the most vicious nazis were shocked by it, and how they managed to do such damage in few months...
Every nation has dark parts of its history, but usually they dont celebrate mass murderers like this and its very painful to see from the Polish perspective, especially after the help Poland offered to Ukrainians... for us its like Germans celebrating Hitler to this day. Saddening. Nonetheless we will continue helping Ukraine because its the right thing to do, and in the end only a small percentage of Ukrainians truly believe the Bandera ideology; and a lot of those who celebrate him seems completely oblivious to what he stood for so it's hard to blame them for it.
@@aw2584 How Bandera could be a mastermind of a polish purge if he was imprisoned in a nazi concentration camp at the time it had happened?
@@aw2584 Thank you for mentioning this, I am Ukrainian and I do believe that Bandera is very contraversal figure. Right now he plays a symbolical role as one who was a leader of Pro-Ukrainian resistance once. So maybe if it rises battle spirit this is a good thing in such hard time. In the same time I know that nobody here supports radical movements today. There are plenty of people from international legion who fight for Ukraine right now. And especially everyone is gratefull for the help of Polish people. I am not a historian but I trust that new true heroes who will be risen now will replace the contraversal past.

Not to mention that Finland only retook their old territories and took defensive positions only a couple kilometers past the pre Winter war border as those positions were better and easier to defend.
They also fired artillery at a village that was out of range of Finnish guns

Not to be an armchair propagandist, but Ukraine really would have done well to reclaim their WWII heroes, 'cause they certainly got a lot to brag about - the top Soviet sniper, the top Soviet fighter ace, and the man who raised the Soviet flag above the Reichstag (as well as the one who photographed him).
I know that the USSR was just another form lf Russian imperialism, and I get why the Ukrainians would want to distance themselves from that. But "the Soviet Union's greatest heroes were Ukrainians" is a great optical blow to Russian propaganda, especially the "Ukrainians = Nazis" bit.
Didn't the soviet military get nicknamed the army of r*pists during their march west.
Mayhaps rephrase it to "the greatest Eastern European heroes of WWII are Ukrainian". A bit wordy, but you do mess with Russian propaganda and distance from the USSR
As an Estonian, aged 35, there is a certain boring loathing against 'realpolitik realists' who say the world composes only of the top 3 countries of the Earth.

"If Marshall Steinovich attacks, everything will be alright."
"...mein Führer..."
49:25 / The AT mine: An AT mine like the Soviet era TMN-46 (I believe that's the type shown) is equipped with a secondary fuse well on the underside. It is used to set up an anti handling device for the mine by wiring a secondary shock tube detonator to a peg buried in the ground underneath the mine. Moving the mine with a grapple and rope from a safe distance / behind cover is the quickest way to clear the mine. Detonating it in place would be more time consuming since typically only a small number of mines in a mine field would be fitted with anti handling devices. You dig it up, hook in the grapple, take cover and pull the rope. If it blows up - fine. If it does not blow up you can disarm the pressure plate fuse and dispose of the mine.

First time viewer of your content here, and boy was I impressed! I don't know what it is with Aussies, but some of the best commentary about the Russian onslaught has come from down under (Perun, just to name one of the obvious suspects). As a native Russian, I can vouch for the veracity of your historical account as well as the psychosis of the Russian psyche and the intensity of their ressentiment. I wish more people in the West had understood this going into any discussions of this war. This is much needed context without which one cannot even begin to understand the Russian narrative or the causes that have led us down this destructive path.
As a Russian speaker deeply immersed in this war, I can just say that what you've touched on from the Russian side is just the tip of the iceberg, and one would probably need 10 hours to cover it all, but your video is a major contribution to the cause of educating non Russians on the shape of the reality on the ground, so a huge thank you for that.
As a final note, I just wanted to recommend a TH-camr who probably has some of the best grasp and commentary on this war and Russia in general in the English YT sphere named Vlad Vexler. He has two channels: Vlad Vexler and Vlad Vexler Chat both of which are teeming with great insights (including a response video to Kraut's recent video about the philosophers who (allegedly) inspired putin).
That's a big issue with a lot of western thinkers, in my experience. They expect the "other side"(whichever it might be) to act just like them, ignoring historical and cultural context. And so they are often surprised when they act in an "irrational" manner, based on their limited information. Vlad has been doing a great job of filling that gap, but as you say, there's so much more to cover - I haven't heard anyone mention the historical role the orthodox church has played in promoting imperialism, for example and influence they have over the common person that's deliberately kept undereducated.
Russia has done so much damage to my country in the past 2 centuries that we'll probably need at least one more century to recover (and I have doubts we ever will..) However I see the average Russian just as much a victim as we have been - maybe even more so. Hopefully humanity will move past this insanity and we will one day see each other as brothers.. but I don't think that will be in my lifetime.
@@gogudelagaze1585 Thank you for your comment. Glad to see another Vlad appreciator.

Just curious, what country are you talking about?
Vlad vex is a great channel
I have watched a lot of Vexler's videos, but always lacked confirmation of the correctness. It always made a lot of sense, but is what he says how Russians actually perceive things?

Writing a popular song that becomes wildly popular is no easy thing, and as the example at the end of the video shows, just being very clever and highly competent and knowledgeable won't necessarily do it, but I am content to let history do it's thing on this point. But I am reminded of the story of Jerome Kern and the song "All the Things You Are." The day after it premiered on Broadway, Kern has lunch with a music critic who asked Jerome if he thought the song would become popular. "Oh, no," replied Kern. The melody and chord progression are far to complex. Most people will never be able to remember it properly." And as Kern and the critic left the restaurant, much to their surprise, a man went by whistling the tune.
What you didn’t tell about “ukrainian nazi collaborators” is that Bandera himself was imprisoned by the nazis to the concentration camp. And his successor, Shukhevych, stopped any collaboration with nazis once it became clear that they want to occupy Ukraine, not make it independent. So for some percentage of Ukrainians nazis were seen as a liberators at first, which makes sense after a decades of red terror with holodomor and stuff, but it quickly became clear who they are, and Ukrainian Rebel Army fought against nazis and against soviets at the same time.
Honestly this is not very different from Baltics states, they were eager to fight against commies more than against nazis. As you said ruzzia artificially exaggerated all this “ukrainian nazism” shot to a crazy extent. What ruzzians are often forget about is Russian Liberation Army, the biggest nazi-collaborators organization in all soviet union. And this is despite only a relatively small piece of ruzzia was ever actually occupied by nazis, like 25% or so.
Although I an not justifying any real neo-nazis that definitely exist in Ukraine as in any other country. I just don’t like when people talk about nazism in Ukraine mentioning Bandera, who wasn’t a nazi.

Propaganda has this effect, which is probably its worse. People start not to care about the truth at all, as it can always be magically explained by some long boring pretext that no one cares about. They simply lose the consensual references and start judging only the source, instead of attempting to analyse information according to logics…
The funny thing is, while you are correct, you are also describing this channel's audience as well. People who are in a cult can't see they're in a cult. Propaganda is pretty much the same.

@@allydea One such person, as anyone who’s incapable of doubting one’s own judgements, is simply stupid, and thus an ideal victim of propaganda.

Certain people will take very precise information about topics they’re not familiar with and distort it completely into an emotionally compatible perception of the matter.

Most reliable daily source I've found.....oh yes and I work for our national TV station in news.....🤦♂️
Lazerpig and animarcy are the most entertaining
Vlad Vexler also hits hard.
The channel called " Ukraine Matters " is great. Very straight-to the point, great arguments and clearly presented.
And for the daily frontline update you should check the channel called " Reporting from Ukraine "
The Soviets invaded Romanian Beserabia and Finland in the winter war. Also 90% sounds believable because if you make everyone who dislikes you leave and ask those who remain if they like you there
As the Ukrainian I want to say that this video must have more views, it’s very useful and nice video, I haven’t seen such informative video about Ukraine and Ukrainian history on English channels. I agree with all in this video
Why arent you fighting?

Love from Germany
Love how this came out today of all days💀
this man's timing is immaculate
"If I say literally anything I'm going to jail so I'm not gonna say anything." Real life really is funnier than fiction could ever dream of being.
"I'm all for ending the world for the memes." Same dude, same.
49:34 - the reason is the mine itself can be additionally "trapped" in multiple ways - so when you try to move it after defusal, it would trigger another mine hidden under it or on the side.
Awesome the pepsi navy
Pepsi navy got Pepsi too!
Thank you for your content, Animarchy! I love both history and Anime ship girls, and I'm glad follow all of your content. You never disappoint!
Russian military is so powerful they've destroyed the entire Ukrainian air force, then rebuilt it just so they could destroy it again. In fact they're so powerful they've done this 2 times already.
the ukrainian airforce still flies after two years of war. against an enemy who has a airforce 10 times larger.
That is nothing to be proud of.
@@sH-ed5yf Nah, the russians just rebuilt the ukranian air force a third time so they'd have something to fight against.
Putin himself reassembled all the sukhois from debris. Shirtless. Twice.
The hook on an AT mine 'trick' is used to remove mines from a safe distance. Basically it's to avoid boobytrapped mines, as u could place different traps below AT mines to make them blow up as someone tries to disarm it.
