Name of Russia.

Yeah its from there! But I get some info from another sites too. And there said hat soviet veterans were really shocked when they saw it!

 

So I suppose the soldiers put in penal Battalions because they had the gall to get captured and then escape were true traitors to the motherland? Or were they just soldiers betrayed by Stalin?

I hate to point this out, but just because someone is old, doesn't mean they are right. I think also, calling Stalin a 'good' man even you must admit is pretty stupid.

Kruschev drinking? Shocking behavior and clearly not true. Cameramen taking pictures of a hero at the front, clearly never happened, that is why we have no pictures of Zaitsev at propaganda events! Sasha, well, maybe they had difficulty finding a genuinely starved boy to play the part? Locked doors on freight cars? It happenned according to several of the vets I met, including NKVD chaps who held the keys. Soldiers dancing and celebrating in a war? No, clearly nonsense, morale will be confiscated instantly! Sorry, not suggesting EATG is a documentary but it just makes me laugh that you seem to have a particularly warped view of history.

Why?

Jeez, I know I'm probably an evil western gitlerite pit-viper who should probably watch what he says before big men in colourful hats turn up at my door and give me an all expenses paid holiday in Siberia where I can get a proper education, but I can't seriously believe you think Stalin, killer of at least 20 million, who executed a million 'traitors' in just two years with neither charge nor trial, was 'more good than bad.' Maybe you would like to explain why the 36,671 army officers killed, imprisoned or discharged in 1937 were traitors?

Seriously, I'll happily admit that I am to some extent a victim of propaganda (though I like to think I have overcome it more than most). Have you ever considered that you might be?

Sorry for translation!

 

Soviet Man, may I ask you in all my patience: can you read? I have told you nobody here believes in Enemy at Gates to be a good film. No need to tell us more, thank you.

 

Here! Look! Go to this site and look what people writes! Sorry but I can' translate it! Too big! Go to ???? ? ????? / Enemy at the Gates - KinoFilms

 

Sorry I write it after!

 

Is this thread of any use at all?

 

Argh!
Jude Law! what is he for?

This site is great for finding the more obscure 'official' Heroes of the Soviet Union:
Warheroes.ru

(There's translation built in but the google system makes a better job of it:
Translated version of http://www.warheroes.ru/main.asp)

Pick one at random from the military ones, some remarkable tales in there.

Cheers,
Adam.
