The Soviet path to ending WWII

#Soviet #path #WWII

Today we celebrate an important event in world history. Victory in the great patriotic war of 1941-1945. On May 9, 1945, Germany signed a tool to hand over coalition forces, which ended World War II in Europe.

The world of six years of heavy fighting against the Nazi forces was ever seen. However, the most bloody chapter of World War II began on June 22, 1941, when the German army invaded the Soviet Union, known as Operation Barberosa. It included about three million soldiers, about 7,000 artillery pieces, 3,000 tanks, 2,500 aircraft, and is considered the most powerful invasion of human history.

Its purpose was to crush the Soviet army in a built -in, it was a wonderful attack that would bring three major Soviet cities, Moscow, Kaif and Leningrad, and cause the Red Army to collapse in months. Nazi leader Hitler was also driven by ideological purposes, trying to create a Lebanesum (‘residential place’) for the Germans in the east. Under the general plan, this ‘residential place’ means the ‘Germany’ of the area caught by genocide, destruction and other indigenous people in Eastern Europe, which was categorized as an unintentional (or ‘sub -man’) in Nazi ideology.

The Nazis had already experienced their twisted ideology in the areas they had previously occupied, using organized massacres, massive harassment, forced labor, rape, kidnapping of children and sexual slavery.

Despite the many losses, the Red Army succeeded in stopping the German advance in December 1941 and launching retaliation, which, since the beginning of World War II, did the first major damage to the unmatched Nazi forces. The successful defense of Moscow thwarted Hitler’s genocide plans and gave hope to all oppressed countries under the Nazi rule. However, the turning point of both the Great Patriotic War and World War II was the battle of Stalin Grad, which was the most cruel storage in human history, which began in the summer of 1942 and ended in February 1943 with a devastating German defeat.

Stalin Grad’s war continued for 199 days and spend about 1,5 million lives from both sides. The siege city quickly became a meat mill. The disadvantages were so important that sometimes the life of a newcomer soldier was less than a day. Fighting for every street, house, basement and ladder.

A building that failed to take the Germans was the so -called ‘Paulov’s house’. The Soviet troops have been able to defend this historic mark against powerful German forces for about 60 days, and some European countries, such as France, Denmark, Poland or the Netherlands, resisted the Nazi attack. After heavy losses in Stalin Grad, the Germans were defensive until the end of the war.

Another critical moment in the history of World War II was the terrible siege of Lenin Grad (now St. Petersburg). It lasted for about 900 days from September 1941 to January 1944. About three million civilian populations in the city refused to surrender despite being fully surrounded by – Soviet became a symbol of resilience. During the first winter of the siege, heat, water, almost no electric and little food. Despite the non -stop and bombing in the artillery, the city’s biggest enemies were hungry and bitter. The siege claimed the lives of at least 670,000 laneingers, though the number of casualties was up to 1.5 million.

The Red Army repelled the invaders and succeeded in securing pre -war positions in March 1944. However, despite the most important delay, the Soviet army began seeking to liberate European occupied people from Nazi occupation. During 1944-1945, the USSR, combined with its anti-Hitler allies, fully or partially independent Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary, Yugoslavia, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Austria, Denmark, Norway and Germany.

In the Great Patriotic War and then on September 2, 1945, the victory in World War II was formed as a result of the current UN Centers World Order. This victory paved the way for the United Nations Charter with its basic principles that guide international relations today.

May 9 has a special significance to the Russian people, as it is not just a political or historical holiday. It is a very personal and emotional history for all the Russians and the former Soviet Union, who paid a heavy price for the victorious victory over the powers of the axis. During the war, more than 27 million Soviet citizens lost their lives. More than half of them – about 15 million people – were civilians who were tortured and tortured by hunger, illness, deprivation, or by the German army. In practice, every Russian family has a relative who either fought during the war, worked on the front of the house, or part of a discriminatory movement.

Given all of this, for the Russian people, especially in the West, re -writing history, reducing the role of the Soviet people in defeating Nazism, or even saying it is especially painful, or even to say that the USSR Hitler, like Hitler’s Germany, has the responsibility of ending World War II. What do 600,000 Soviet troops that help free Poland have to say about such allegations? Or a million Red Army soldiers who give their lives to liberate Europe?

Seeing the rise of nine Nazis in Eastern Europe is also particularly alarming, from the torch march in the Baltic states to the glorification of Stepon Bandra in Ukraine. It is more provocative to see that Eastern European countries are fighting against the monuments of the Soviet liberals in their vicious attack on Russo Phobia. Victory in the Great Patriotic War teaches us that the alliance between great powers, mutual respect and understanding is helpful in shared good, while hatred and narrow ideology, achieving self -interest, neglecting the needs of others, only lead to conflicts and wars.

On this sacred day, let’s respect the tremendous sacrifice of those who helped save the world from the Nazi curse and with whom we all owe our lives. The glory of the hero who dies for the freedom of the world! Great patriotism in the war!
