The world owes a huge debt to Russia and those who gave up their lives to defeat Nazis.

Russia was also the nation which defeated the Germans in WW1.

Without Russia there would be no Europe as we see it today.

Now once again the Nazis are being wiped out by the Russia.

Dont think they were too bothered about Nazis at the start of the game were they?

Sorry what you are you alluding too? Please explain in detail.

The Battle of Moscow was one of the turning points in the war.

If it wasnt for the Russian martyrs you and I wouldnt be here typing right now.

Russia defeated Nazis then and they will definitely defeat the Nazis in Ukraine now.

Godwilling full victory is near.

Victory will come but it will take many months or even years. The NATO countries, specially the Americans are arming the Ukrainian Nazis with tens of billions of dollars worth of advanced weapons.

I will give you an example to illustrate the scale at which they are doing it: The M777 is most advanced Ultralight Howitzer in the world, Brazil bought six, Australia 35, Saudis 36 and Indian defence forums were doing Bhangra when India bought 145 of these.

Now, America has given 90 M777 and other NATO countries added another 10 to make a total of 100. This is an example of a single weapon. So, you can imagine the scale at which they are arming Ukraine with advanced weapons.

Correct me if I am wrong, werent the Nazis and Russians best of friends until Hitler attacked them?

Correct, Stalin and Hitler were buddies during the start of WW2 and made a pact when Europe was being attacked. Stalin literally paved the way for Hitler to take Poland.

It’s one of the reasons Poles to this day have never forgiven the Russians and are now helping the Ukrainians in every possible way.

Russians are the people, who were/are Christian Orthodox.

In WW1 it was again the Russians who won the war for Europe. In return the the Bolshevik revolution was laid on the Russians, which turned them into communist atheists.

It was the brave Russian soldiers who defeated Nazis and again now the Russians are slapping these Nazis in Ukraine.

The KEY difference which you are not seeing is now Nato which incs UK, France and US are supporting Nazis.

How many of these M777 did the US leave behind in Afghanistan?

A few factual clarifications.

The Russian Empire fell in 1917 in the Bolshevik Revolution and Russia withdrew from the Great War. Immediately a million German troops left their Eastern front and redeployed in the West against the Entente. These extra troops took part in an 1918 advance which broke the British lines. However the British Empire forces rallied and in their Hundred Day Offensive advanced and broke through the Hindenburg Line. This contributed to the eventual German capitulation, as did the arrival of the American Expeditionary Force, food shortages and mass industrial action in Germany resulting in their own revolution. Exhausted by war and internal strife, Germany gave up fighting.

Under Stalin, the USSR inflicted the Holodomor Terror-Famine on Ukraine in 1932-3, murdering four million people.
[MENTION=93712]MenInG[/MENTION] is correct - Nazi Germany and USSR entered the Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact, allowing both to invade Poland. However Hitler betrayed the Pact and attacked USSR in 1941. Britain supported USSR by sending every spare tank and fighter plane in the Murmansk convoys.

Western Europe was liberated from Nazi totalitarian rule by the USA and British Empire forces in 1945. However Eastern Europe fell under the sway of Soviet totalitarianism. This lasted until the fall of the USSR when fledgling democracies including Ukraine began to emerge.

In the 2019 Ukraine elections, all far-right groups combined polled just 2.6% of the first vote. President Zelenskiy gained 70% of the run-off vote - a liberal Jewish man who lost grandparents in the Holocaust.

One of these far-right groups is the much-discussed Azov group, whose militia has engaged with Russian separatists in Donbas when that region was invaded by Russia in 2014. [MENTION=132916]Junaids[/MENTION] is correct - the Azov Battalion at its height numbered at most 2500 soldiers, about 1% of the Ukrainian Army, and no doubt fewer now.

It was soviet union and not russia. Both have very different culture and policies so it is wrong to compare them in either way. Nikita khruschev made sure that after world war, the whole aggression of soviet union should be changed (which is why destalinization) and Russia adopted to these policies, NOT the ones in world war.

Russia was also the nation which defeated the Germans in WW1.

Agree completely on WW2, the Soviet Union contributed an incredible national effort and massive human sacrifice towards the Allied destruction of Nazi Germany. Stalingrad is one of the greatest against-the-odds victories in military history, and the subsequent Soviet march through Eastern Europe to trigger the fall of Berlin was an incredible campaign which will be remembered forever.

My understanding of WW1 however is different, in that Russia withdrew from the fight in 1917, and it was thereafter the combined effort in Western Europe of Britain, America and France which led the Allies to victory.

We have to respect the people of Russia. Its a poor point(not from yourself) it was the Soviet Union, the people were Russian and always will be regardless of the political power ideology which is placed upon them.

The sacrifices the Russian people made defeating Nazis were far above any other country or people.

Czar Nicholas II declared war against Germany and Austria-Hungary in July 1914. At this time Russia was a Christian nation. Russia fought more than most in helping to defeat Germany and its allies. It was promised to Christian Russia if they join this war , they will gain their historic holy city of Constantinople. But the west deceived Russia, with no intention of giving them this city as it was to be the Turkish capital, a new secular Muslim nation which would never revive the Caliphate. The Bolshevik revolution was introduced in March 1917 to overthrow the Christian rulers and replace them with Atheist communists.
