    May be Off Topic but... A small gift from Vietnam love

    http://vnexpress.net/tin-tuc/goc-nhin/ngay-chien-thang-3211257.html

    Victory Day

    You sent me a message: "Where will you be tomorrow ?" I replied: "At the place I usually is."

    These are just rhetorical questions. Because You and I already know where our mind and spirit will be tomorrow, on May 9, where millions of living and dead come together.

    May 9, 70 yrs ago, millions of people shed tears in joy. Because, the most terrible nightmare of the world named Nazi ceased to exist.

    Nazi Germany spent a month to crush Poland. Three days to conquer Denmark. One week for eating Belgium. And 30 days to make France submit. UK troops ran away, throwing all weapons, left 100,000 French troops alone to be surrounded and captured.

    But the string of German victories stopped after 22 June 1941 when the German troops approached Brest Fortress at the border of the Soviet Union.

    You can say 22/06/1941 was the beginning of the end for Nazi Germany. But 27 millions of Soviet people had to sacrifice their lives in 4 years for the sake of defeating fascism, for the event when marshal Keitel signed the unconditional surrender.

    The last defender of Brest Fortress, when being caught by the Nazi, he replied: "I am a Russian soldier". Please don't misunderstand, that answer is not a sign of Russian chauvinism. Over 100 ethnic groups in the USSR, from Russia, Chechnya, to Central Asia, Kavkaz, Baltic, all them would have the same answer. All them share the same name "Russian soldier" and all named themselves "Russian soldier". The Nazi Germany said with panic "Russian is coming" when they was running away from the Red Army. The Jews, the Slavs in East Europe, with joyful tears in the eyes, happily shouted "Russian soldier is coming !" when they noticed the sight of the Red Flag.  

    That is not Russian chauvinism. In these years, nobody cares no matter whether you were Russians, Ukrainians, or else. The only thing people cared is that, amongst 100 people who marched into the battlefield in 1941, only 3 of them returned home in 1945. They only needed to know that, they were fighting for the common cause. And Victory was for all the people in this world. The common cause overcame and surpassed all boundaries between countries, nations, or ideologies. On the day of 7 November 1941, amongst the soldiers who walked through the Red Square and marched right into the battlefield, there were many ""international"" units which included the individuals of many ethnics and races in this world. There were Spanishs, Yugoslavians, Greeks, Bulgarians, Hungarians, Poles. And there were six Asian soldiers who came from a small and far far away country named French Annam, today it is named Vietnam. We all know that, these Red Army soldiers directly march from the Red Square into the battlefield.

    We also know that, the strongest and most powerful Nazi units were sent to the Eastern Front and was defeated by the Red Army. We all know that, 27 millons of Soviet people sacrificed their flesh and bones for the Victory. All them share the same name: "Russian soldier".

    But, 70 years later, there are negationist "historians" who try to distorted history. They blatantly quibble about this nation or that nation in the USSR who defeat Nazi. They blatantly and purposely ignore the very fact that, the Red Army units marched into Germany were composed by many ethnic groups in the USSR. No matter whether the name Ukrainian Front or Belorussian Front, there were Russians, Ukrainians, and many other ethnic groups of the USSR in them.

    These "historians", because of their selfish benefits, distort the history, distort the meaning of "Russian soldier". The name "Russian soldier" is NOT Russian chauvinism. The name "Russian soldier" does not represent only for Russia. It represents all the people who sacrificed their lives to defeat the Nazi Germany. Today, after 70 years, there are still old citizens and old veterans can testify for the fact that, the phrase "Russian is coming !" was equal to "liberation".

    There are Western politicians who attempt to stick the May 9 parade with Russian chauvinism. But I disagree. May 9 Parade is the gathering of descendants of the Liberators who sacrificed flesh and bones for the sake of Liberation. May 9 is the gathering of people who want to commemorate the Liberation.

    My heart will definitely be at the Red Square in May 9. The Spirit of the deceased soldiers will also be there. They will join the parade in May 9, just like they did participate in the parade on 7 November 1941 and then directly marched into the battlefield. I will try my best to see the Spirit of 6 Vietnamese Red Army soldiers, 6 Free Vietnamese who participated in the Great Victory against Nazi in Moskva.  

    Please don't ask "Farewell to Slavianks" is created for who. It is created for all the people who participated in the 4 year Great Patriotic War, for the people who know how to respect and commemorate the legacy of their deceased ancestors.

    Tomorrow, let see each other at the Red Square !

    For people who were wondering why the PAK-FA didn't show up on May 9th, it was because those prototypes haven't completed all the safety tests yet. So they stuck on the safe side, and decided not to allow them to fly in the May 9th parade...

    At the 32:00 - 33:00 time stamp, it's mentioned here:

    Anybody pls verify whether this article is right or wrong ? Question

    http://soha.vn/quoc-te/dai-le-ngay-chien-thang-cua-nga-mat-hut-tren-bao-chi-phuong-tay-20150509151738914.htm

    The article said that on 9 May, the home page of Western newspaper did not have anything about May 9 2015 Parade.

    The article listed the screenshot images of several newsapaper on May 9 (NY Times, ABC News, Washington Post, Reuters, CNN) and in the screenshots, the homepages of them said nothing about May 9 parade. Only the homepage of BBC mentioned about May 9.

    The article concluded that Western media is trying to whitewash and boycot Russian May 9 ceremony.

    Happy (late) Victory day to all you guys!

    It was a great parade, but what struck me is a "Immortal regiment" parade - so many people touched by war in one way or another - and that's only in one city, Moscow. There were hundreds more places where the same parade took place in the same time.
    All people who defended our homeland deserved to march through the Red Square, but millions couldn't do it, so at least their photos are brought there. It's was moving and beautiful view. I literally can't watch it without tears in my eyes.



    We went to visit our local war cemetery also. For such a small community, and even after so many months of aggressive propaganda from local authorities, still a lot of people showed up.
    It was sad to see only few living veterans (I mean, there were only maybe 5-10), several years before there were still dozens of them.
    Probably in a few more years there will be no living veteran, at least here. But I will never forget what they did and will always cherish their memory.

    Travelling museum at Verkhnyaya Pyshma yesterday. Remarkable to see so many machines from the war still mobile, T-28, Stalinets, ISU-152 and all types of other equipment. Looks like they robbed Kubinka...

    i saw marines on BTR-82s. Maybe is this an indication that Boomerangs will go only to army and Naval Infantry will take exclusively BTR-82s?

    If you look near the rear of the Boomerangs you can see small propeller thrusters for amphibious use... I suspect the Marines will get special modifications of Boomerang and Kurganets that are designed to operate in the surf... most amphibious vehicles in the Soviet and Russian military were designed to ford rivers and lakes and were not designed to cope with rough sea or waves...

    On may 9th I was in Downtown calgary and saw an SUV drive by with the St.George ribbon, Russian and Soviet flag with May 9th victory written on it. Wish I had taken the picture.

    Yes, sorry for late reply, but Congrats to Russia for such a historic day celebration.

    I saw few ribbons in Belfast on some cars too. Deffo not local people as they don't even know when war started or ended. For me Victory day is bit controversial because of NKVD fellas. But as much I hate represive organs of Soviet Union I can only bow to Red Army soldiers and their sacrifice.
    It was very touching to see Immortal march as it finally gave it personal aspect as before it was taken by Zhukov, Stalin portraits and stupid pompastics. But when You see families with portraits of their loved ones it just shows who were real heroes.

    "We killed fascists," Miron Goldsheyt says simply. Originally from Odessa, he says he served "everywhere for a little bit" during the war. "It was very scary, and those who survived are heroes. They remember this day," he says. "No one will be able to steal our victory from us," he adds, referring to the Soviet army. wrote:

    The parade yesterday was beautiful, i didnt watch it last year as I was very uncomfortable with russians celebrating whilst their brothers were dying over the border, but thats another argument.

    What I loved about this one was the minutes silence, the wreath laying and of course the march of the immortal regiment. Seeing the faces of the actual people who fought being held by their relatives really brings it home. It was a  wonderful touch, very human.

    A lot of people just see victory day as russia swinging its todger around and dont see this side of it, so im really glad they added the solemn aspect to it, it was very classy. I hope they'll continue like that in future.

    I think at least some of you remember that Germany forbade The Surgeon and his fellow bikers to come to Berlin and lay flowers at the Soviet Monument for Victory Day. You may also know that Mrs. Merkel is in Mockba at this time. Here's a little gift for her in front of the German Embassy in Mockba. It will stay in place at least until tomorrow morning.

    "The parade yesterday was beautiful, i didnt watch it last year as I was very uncomfortable with russians celebrating whilst their brothers were dying over the border, but thats another argument.

    What I loved about this one was the minutes silence, the wreath laying and of course the march of the immortal regiment. Seeing the faces of the actual people who fought being held by their relatives really brings it home. It was a wonderful touch, very human.

    A lot of people just see victory day as russia swinging its todger around and dont see this side of it, so im really glad they added the solemn aspect to it, it was very classy. I hope they'll continue like that in future."

    Well said, Rodina, well said. We watched it late last night. We were involved with the Sevastopol Parade from 04:00 until evening yesterday. By the by, we have been doing our Immortal Battalion March in Sevastopol for 3 years if not more. The Mockba Parade was truly moving, we especially liked Tovarich General Shiogu's quite moving moment at the very beginning of the parade.

    Can you elaborate on shaigus moment? I may have missed that one, thanks.

    i have also just watched a video of the parade in donetsk, wow. The bit that struck me was the way the people cheered the rebel soldiers and the tanks were covered in flowers, not a bad reaction from the public considering they are supposed to be 'terrrorists'. When you compare the freedom of the donetsk people who are able to celebrate this, compared to the people in ua controlled lands it makes you realise that the rebels did the right thing.

    Ive always thought novorussia will become ukrainian again oneday, but after seeing that im not sure. It really is a little state and you can really sense the feelings of the people there, not just that they dont consider themselves ukrainian anymore. They also seem to have pride in novorussia, about the path they chose for themselves. Good on them.
