Happy Victory Day!

[SergeiSK]

For those who keep the memory of their relatives who participated in WWII is a good project - "Victory At our faces," which "aims at creating e-book memory of those who won the Great Patriotic War." There you can post information about their loved ones. I have already done this:

PS.Voyna is a vile, disgusting evil!
War is kvinessentsiya human filth!
The war is a curse!
War is ublyudstvo leaders is they, necrophilia, bloody interesting game.
Leningad during the blockade has lost more than America and Britain during the entire war together. (As long battle. Battle of Kursk, for example).
Mankind has never known such a price for victory.
Our victory is a mournful requiem, not a triumph. (IMHO)

And you want them to lose more?

[Tana]

Igor Guriev No, I think nobody wants to lose more, but here, too, did not agree, when a 100%victory in this war, given the Soviet Union, fought all when they opened a second front (by the way the British have had a tremendous pressure on the U.S. to accelerate the discovery), many German troops had to throw in that direction, and the landing of Allied troops in Normandy! "How can one not see here the courage of the French, British, Americans!

Yes, England was not occupied (excluding the island of Josie (Ghanzi?) To know how to write in Russian), but some fierce air battles were fought, and the constant bombing, evacuation of residents, children, and the exact same as we have horrible stories, like children all my life trying to find family and vice versa, how one can say that someone fought worse, and someone better?? well as the language turns?? just in school we were (and still) do not tell us how he fought other countries, believe me, heroism and deeds were at least as traitors and deserters, and we have enough ....
All, no more about it, I believe that victory is total, so the parade on Red Square was visited by representatives of all countries.

(Mann look on the internet on the participation of other countries in the Great Patriotic War, but not our publication).

The loss of the population (blockade of Leningrad)

During the years of embargo have died, according to various sources, from 400 thousand to 1.5 million people. Thus, at the Nuremberg trials figured number 632,000 people. Only 3%of them were killed by bombing and shelling, and the remaining 97%died from starvation.

Most died in the siege of Leningrad residents buried at the memorial cemetery Piskarevskoye Vyborg. This is the memorable place in St. Petersburg. The area of the cemetery is 26 hectares, the length of the wall is 150 meters with a height of 4.5 m. The stones are carved lines survived the blockade writer Olga Bergholz. In a long line of graves lie the victims of the blockade, the number of which are only in this cemetery is 640 000 people died from hunger and more than 17,000 people have been victims of air raids and artillery shelling. The total number of civilian casualties in the city for all time of war than 1,2 million people.

Also many of the dead body of Leningrad were cremated in the furnaces of the brick factory, located on the territory of the Moscow Victory Park. The park was built a chapel and a monument to "trolley" - One of the worst sites of St. Petersburg. At these trolleys were taken after the dust of the dead burned in the furnaces of the plant in nearby careers.

Serafimov cemetery was also a mass grave of Leningrad, perished and died during the siege of Leningrad. In 1941-1944. Here were buried more than 100 thousand people.

The dead were buried in almost all cemeteries in the city (Volkov, Krasnen'ke and others). During the battle for Leningrad killed more people than Britain and the United States lost for all time of war.

Tjutchev what do you recalculate again? (In the last paragraph), then count the number of Jews killed (I think most in comparison with Russian, Ukrainian, and so the people and not only on the territory of the USSR) , let us finish this kindergarten?
