Dear God. THIS is how all military veterans should be shown respect. This is beautiful.

the smile on his face melted me

I'm not even russian and I teared up

This made me tear up.

A last salute to the old man and his memories, before he becomes a memory himself. Do not forget him, ever! Well Done! An Old American salutes you!

Old comrade looks like he kicked some serious asses back in the day. And that billion dollar smile with shiny eyes. Good ol man. Much respect.

I'm an American retired from the US Army, the boys did well. Much respect.

Made me cry to think there are still youngsters out there honoring the veterans who fought for their freedom

His smile was so genuine, it's not often happiness like that can be presented to someone....... it warmed my heart and made my day :) *Salutes* I'm not Russian but thank you for your service, I'm sure your country is proud of the effort you have put in to keeping it safe (;

Respect. this made my heart glow. Remember when i was in the military and one of our war heroes come by while we waited for our plane, we all got up and saluted him. give respect when its deserved, no matter what country

i say that russain people are the best at giving there vets a thank for their service in the red army i thank them

This Soviet veteran is not just a regular veteran, but his name is Mikhail Kalashnikov and he is the inventor of the AK-47.

There's an unspoken law within all militaries. Those who came before you are worthy of your respect and a salute.

Long live the motherland

such respect

this brought tears to my eyes

heartwarming. being respectful to a soviet veteran is a great and humble act. they fought on WW2 and after risking their lives so many times they deserve this respect. the ukrainians should be more like this than acting like hearthless fascist.

my greatgrandfather was a soviet soldier in ww2 as an artillery man, he died :(

He served his country and deserves all of the respect he gets and more.

at least they made him happy

Glory to our great country I'm Russian my great grandmother is from Vladimir I honor my homeland

This made me tear up a bit (;

Beautiful...

No matter the soldier, Russian, German, American, British, etc. all deserve respect.

What a great video. Is it really him in the old photo with the American soldier? That photo is very famous. I have seen it several times before. I hope the young soldiers will stop by him often. I am sure he has some great stories to tell them. Respect. Thank you for your service.

I played this to my great grandfather and he cryed because he is also a WW2 veteran and understud the pain. May he rest in peace

We are the last generation to see Veterans alive. Just some food for thought

for mother russia comrade

This video cured my cancer

This smile had the most powerful glance i had seen in my life.

Loved this video. My papa was in ww2 in the army, he passed away at 81 years old. I go to his grave every veterans day and salute him. I love his and miss him alot. Love you papa. Wish all veterans alive and passed away should be saluted and shown respect

This video makes me happy and sad at the same time. Glory to our veterans.

A soldier, never stops being a soldier..! (Un soldado, jamás deja de ser un soldado,..!)

An amazing video. Like the russians or not, that is how it should be done. You respect your eldars, you respect your veterans.

This put a smile on my face. Imagine your an old veteran and you see young soldiers holding a parade just for you. Amazing

I thank him for his service.

Respect! Thank You Russia. You can teach these american boys a lot if that!

This veteran faught for my country’s freedom at the darkest times

Tbh whenever I see a video with Soviet soldier I'll usually say something negative, but this video was just too awesome I couldn't bring myself to do it. Russia I salute you 🇷🇺

The look in his eye shows how much he apperciated it

He is Mikhail Timofeyevich Kalashnikov (10 November 1919-23 December 2013) was a Soviet and Russian lieutenant general, military inventor, military engineer, writer, and small arms designer. He is most famous for developing the AK-47 assault riffle and its improvements, the AKM and AK-74 as well as the PK machine gun and RPK light machine gun.

Вечная память и низкий земной поклон,вам ветераны!!! Ни кто не забыт,ни что не забыто.

The young men saluted the man who fought before they were even born. That is respect.

made me cry love from nepal

This is the best russian video i ever watched. Respect to those who fought for our freedom, no matter their nationality. Greetings from Greece.

This brings tears to my eyes and I'm not even from that country. Goes to show, no matter what give respect where it is due.

Just shows that a small act of kindness can make someone’s day way better

No man left behind. URA!

Thats what i do to my russian Great grandad hes 92 years old he likes it it reminds him marching in red square moscow in 1945

Wow this is great :)

Love how he feels appreciated as he should. Thank you all for your service

Knowing you have lived out out of a war just to see ppl respect you the kinde of respect for soviet soldier needed

We Indians always respect Soviet soldiers

Respect to the veteran and the young men from England

Those soldiers dont know how happy they made that man. A Christmas alone with nothing but the uniform and memories of friends that exist only in the heart with vodka is tragic... Those youngsters ensured he knew he wasn't alone and that the motherland can sleep soundly along with himself knowing the torch has been passed and mother Russias borders are secure. The feats and deeds of his comrades and himself will not be forgotten, they live on to inspire and set examples to the future generations of Russian service members and in that, they'll never pass away or expire. There's an American saying I think fits well for that man "I regret that I have but one life to give for my country" God Bless and may we always continue to honor our veterans and soldiers!

Very nice video showing the love and respect for this war vet. We must never forget what they did for us. Thanks for posting such a touching video.

Верность превыше всего, но честь превыше верности!

Respect for veteran fighters of the Soviet Union. Greetings from Indonesia 🇮🇩

Salute to soviets, greetings from Indonesian Russian friends

Salute. From Canada!

Can’t stop watching this vid again and again

Young bloods shall come to carry on, when the old strong hearts are gone.

That was sweet, made a tear in my eye. URA!!!

They all will be gone soon, We need to respect them now.

Thank GOD for Russia where the young respect the elders, specially if they are war veterans. it didn't take them not even a minute to make this old soldier feel alive and respected. I understand him, I'm a veteran of a forgotten war, all my friends have died, I remember seeing my friends falling down to a hail of bullets and I'm still alive. life is not fair.

*I am not a russian, but this video is very heart melted, respect and Salute to all army veterans who fought on wars and served the country❤*

Seeing veterans smiling just makes my day. The smile that veteran had was so cute and amazing.

I rarely cry Almost never about a Video But it did this time respect, his laugh made me happy as I can be

man this makes me happy! truely the hight of respecting veterans of the 2nd world war! and the veterans smile! man! great!

This is the most beautiful and emotional thing I've watched this year Hail CCCP

When the veteran picked up the heart, smiling and saluting melted my heart.

so beautiful. always respect elders and what they have to say. always honor them

Безмерное Уважение Ветеранам ВОВ !!! Отдаю честь !!!

Regardless of what army they fought for, show a veteran respect

This is the most beautiful video iv'e ever seen in my entire life this video made cry this is just so beautiful (;

One of the few videos that genuinely made me smile

I am always happy to see veterans respected!!

there is bond in the armed forces of every country that my generation does not understand and this makes me very emotional to say the least. it represents the passing of the torch of one man to another.

He must be glad to see respect from the generation he and his friend fought and died for ..now that's sweeter than victory

The smile on his lips showed that he was very happy but it made me teary-eyed. Respect the old veterans.

his smile in the end was of pure joy and memories

0:05. That look reminds me of a look I often see on my father. This made me trying to cope with leaking eyes.

This makes me smile. To the veterans, thank you for your service. Please thank them yourselves as well.

To forget where we came from, who are we to call ourselves what we are now. From the bottom of my heart, I thank all veterans for those who fought in the name of family, freedom, honor and country.

Respect to every war veteren dont care what side

Everytime i see this video i cry full of thrill

Damn this made me smile. Respect for him and Respect for the fellow soldiers to do that

No matter what Country always respect those that gave there life's

Salute door open

man this cheered me up

Aww that's nice it sad how some veteran's are forgotten lost on time it must feel amazing when some one thanks them for thier service .

The most touching video ever. Respect.

0:46 me and boys when we saw someone depressed who helped us in a argument in school before:

gloria ai veterani

the man was so happy. it is right to respect veterans regardless of the country that they served.

Look at his smile 😊.. we won’t get this even if we give a million dollars ..

SOVIET UNION!!!!!

От героев былых времён не осталось порой имён. Те кто приняли смертный бой, стали простой травой, землёй. Только Грозная доблесть их поселилась в сердцах живых

You can even see the happines on his face, respect to all vets! Love from eastern europe!

No matter how bad the Soviet Union was.This man has to have some courage to survive though the Eastern Front.
