Volgograd (Stalingrad) - The journey back to the Soviet Union

Күн бұрын

In this video I'll show you around Volgograd - one of the 16 Russian cities populated by more than 1.000.000 people. Volgograd is known for its Soviet history, especially for the period of the Second World War as an epicenter of the Stalingrad Battle.
Volgograd, formerly known as Stalingrad, holds a significant place in World War II history as the site of one of the deadliest and most pivotal battles of the conflict. The Battle of Stalingrad, fought between 1942 and 1943 was a brutal confrontation between the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany. The city became a symbol of resistance, endurance, and sacrifice during this intense struggle.
Today, Volgograd stands as a living testament to its wartime history. The city has preserved numerous landmarks and monuments that commemorate the sacrifices made during the Battle of Stalingrad. I'll visit not only the Mamayev Kurgan but also some less known memorials that reflect the history of the city.
These historical sites in Volgograd serve as a solemn reminder of the human cost of war and the bravery exhibited by those who fought in one of the most significant battles of World War II. The city's commitment to preserving its wartime heritage makes it a destination for those interested in understanding the profound impact of the conflict on both a local and global scale.
Enjoy!

About the date Stalingrad battle started: Differences in specifying the start date of the Battle of Stalingrad may stem from using two different perspectives on the events of that time. In this context, both dates have their justifications: July 17, 1942: This date is associated with the beginning of the German summer offensive operation known as "Fall Blau." As part of this operation, German forces, including those heading towards Stalingrad, initiated their attacks. This stage of the operation can be considered a preliminary phase of the Battle of Stalingrad, even though the actual battle unfolded later. August 23, 1942: This date marks the onset of the direct assault on Stalingrad. On this day, German forces reached the suburbs of Stalingrad and commenced their advance on the city itself. This moment is typically regarded as the start of the Battle of Stalingrad as the city became the main point of contention. Therefore, discrepancies in the specified dates may depend on which stage of the events the source is focusing on. Some might consider the beginning of the battle from the outset of the offensive operation, while others fixate on the start of the conflict as the forces approached the city.

The military museum for the Battle of Stalingrad was one of the best museums I have ever seen. God Bless the Soldiers that fought and those that died for their country.

It is no secret that Ford factories in Europe repaired German equipment, the United States supplied the Germans with components for small arms, fuel (through the ports of Spain), and even a component for gas used in concentration camps.

Very nice. One thing that you didn't touch on though, was just how precarious the Soviet situation was...for longer than a month. The Soviets controlled just a sliver of the bank, which gave them just enough of an disembarkment area for troops crossing the Volga. One of the the memorials/monuments, is actually a very large black wall running about two hundred yards along the bank....only about 150 feet (not yards) from the river. This was put there to mark the end of of the bank area controlled by the Red Army. Beyond that wall, you were inside Stalingrad, right in the heat of the battle. It was really remarkable to see that, to get an appreciation for must how little area the Red Army actually held. You did show the relation of the preserved building to the river with that drone shot. That building was actually just beyond the bank held by the Red Army. What you didn't show, was that Pavlov's house was equally as close. It is directly across the road from that preserved building. So, you had fierce fighting in an apartment building literally less than 50 yards from the only sliver of land actually held by the Soviets. Nothing matched Stalingrad. Not Iwo Jima (Sorry, Americans) and certainly not Normandy. Not even the battle of Berlin...because although a larger battle, and just as fierce, there was no uncertainty involved. The outcome of that battle was inevitable. Not so with Stalingrad.

One point on Motherland Calls monument I founded out when I got older: It was made of concrete in 1959. Concrete is good for something lying on the ground but not standing 85 meters tall. The unofficial conclusion on this was - the future generations (of a very-very "sincere" young communists) will have to deal with this. That single phrase summarizes the Soviet/Post-soviet way of thinking - future generations will have to deal with it. That was generation where Putin and most of post-Soviet "elite" born

В реальности город абсолютно нормальный, есть красивые и интересные объекты, развлечения. Даже и зимой, это кстати единственные 10 дней когда был морозец и снег. Если сравнивать с Барселоной (при таком же стиле монтажа видео), Тулузой (тут даже и поинтересне), Анталией, то особой разницы и нет. Обычные города со своими фишками и местами стандартными промзонами и не новыми районами. Летом конечно поинтереснее. Автору желаю делать свое дело профессиональнее, раз уж занялся им.

Did you just call soviet factories unattractive? I will have you know, good sir, that the reason I watch your videos is because I can't get enough of brutalist soviet architecture and the atmosphere it creates. :) From commie blocks, kruschovkas and brezhnevkas, to favotories and amazing soviet neighborhoods. That's what makes the former USSR so incredible. Here in Macedonia we have a lot of that type of atmosphere too and having grown up in Yugoslavia myself as well as having visited Moscow in 88 or so on several occasions as a kid, I find these types of areas comforting, nostalgic and beautiful. Just seeing all the babushkas and their stalls in that neighborhood at the beginning of the video took back to a different time man, so amazing. I myself live in commie blocks, albeit newer ones built in like 1980 or 82 and I love them so much

One of the most important, symbolic, and inspiring cities in human history: residents today with an historical connection by blood must be very proud. Here's to the dead, civilian and military, a million strong, including the German men who were caught up in the mania by no choice of their own, condemned to death so far from loved ones, who committed no atrocity other than an assignment by the state. The image of Mother Russia summoning her sons and daughters to sacrifice is more poignant than any other statue on earth, even Lady Liberty. Great video.

Thank you for these informative documentaries! Before I have started watching your channel, I barely had any idea of what Russia consists of and looks like. Best wishes to Russia from Czechia! 🇷🇺 ♥🇨🇿

Informative? What so Informative about? Unless you know nothing, maybe is informative. I find this video the worst I have ever seen.

Czechs and Russians are similar because the Slavic peoples originated from the same proto-Slavic tribes.The ancestors of Russians came from Poland (Vistula) in about the 4th century to the territory of Russia

Thank you for creating this video and posting it. I'm in the US and I've always been fascinated by the Battle of Stalingrad. I've seen a photo of the "Motherland Calls" statue on Mamayev Kurgan, but otherwise have no idea what Volgograd looks like. Your video is very illuminating. I felt a melancholy there as I watched all the scenery.

I believe that it is better to travel around Russia in the summer; in winter it is boring and dull. I managed to visit Volgograd last summer and it didn’t seem melancholic to me; unfortunately, I only had a few hours of time.

@@Alexey-Shumikhin Yes, it's better from a drone! More trees than I imagined with the Volga looking bluer than I thought it would. Lovelier overall than what I envisioned in my head. I don't feel the same melancholy in the drone video. Thank you so much!

Thank you for making and publishing this insightful video! Please go on reporting, and keeping the window open! I was especially moved by the conciliatory pictures of the Russo-German memorial cemetary. To the future of a united mankind!
