Funeral Moscow

The question is about something else: not the people thrown into this meat grinder, divided into "black" and "white". We all were born after the war, and how much we read or watched movies or listened to the memories, we still can not imagine the state of those people who have had it for a test.

Man - he was always a man is only in such difficult times manifests its essence. And hardly anyone can predict how behaves this or that man at the front. Someone in essence - a sadist, someone - a looter, a shopkeeper, someone in the child's fire can not, and the other will burn right and left, drowning out the voice of his conscience by the words "fog of war", but some a provincial accountant will be noble man - a man in the worst times of my life.

Do not divide the warring people into good and bad. Psychology man at war - is complicated. This is now a soldier specially prepared, and then this thought much (in the modern sense of the term). Propaganda was, but still some, but now everything is different.

In the abstract "black" and "white" divide really can not. It is necessary to divide the Nazis, who attacked our homeland and our ancestors who gave their lives to protect the land that their fathers are at rest. It should be divided into those who for the sake of easy money have come into people's houses to kill and rape other people's mothers, wives, daughters, and those with arms to defend their right to be a man.
Those people also did not anticipate that they happen to experience all the horrors of war. They are just like us, casually got up every morning and happy new day. They believed that their century of war certainly will not! They believed as we believe we are now. But the enemy does not care about their dreams and hopes, treacherously invaded our homeland. Who knows, maybe we'll have to fight for their Fatherland.
      Russia has always fought to defend their land and freedom, and it is in the crucible of war shaped our nation. And this is really the nation! Without any exaggeration. This is really one people, who rallied the great millennial history and hope for no less a great future!
      United States, for example, call themselves a great nation, but in what wars they fought for their freedom? In what wars they won? And how Americans will behave in case of attack by an aggressor, it is another question! But the fact that every man in Russia will defend our country, I am sure. And not because of propaganda, but because they should be ashamed to look into the eyes of mothers, wives and children.
      The nation was to meet in a fist. And for this needed new songs. At least for that was not afraid to have been even more powerful force, and the weak, these forces have appeared. And you call it propaganda? In all ages the best works of art created for raising the spirits of soldiers! In relation to these works have always used the word respect, but somehow now it suddenly became propaganda! And for some reason in relation to works of art created during the Great Patriotic War!

Alain interested in your opinion on the Chechen war? There, too, all the people? No black and white?

Stalevar, about the Chechen war better not. This is a provocative topic. We are the Great Patriotic War can not understand but you say Chechnya.
      Get real, this topic is very important ( "The funeral of Moscow"). If it zafludyat or closed, we can not talk about the destruction of Russian cities.
      You can talk about everything, but most importantly all the same - tyranny of power in relation to cultural heritage.
