Inside Stalingrad (Volgograd) Russia. The story of heroes. 🇷🇺

Ребята, вы делаете большую работу , показывая не только для нас эту планету, места, красоту природы, но и показываете Россию для зарубежных зрителей канала. Мы все одинаковы, не смотря , что нас разделяет другой\разный язык общения. Спасибо Вам и удачи в путешествиях по необъятной планете Земля.

Thank you for this video. Russian people do not need to be explained that the war is the most terrible tragedy. The Soviet people have been to hell, survived and returned to peace. Putin does not want to attack Ukraine. Russians can only defend their Homeland, but not attack other countries.

Im a german and i personally find it important to learn about these things. Im not personally to blame for what germany did, but I am responsible for making sure it is never repeated

Это мой родной город. Мои Прадеды под Сталинградом пали.

Мой родной город, город-герой Волгоград. Спасибо за прекрасное видео!)

Thank you for your story on Stalingrad. As an ignorant westerner, I have learned so much from your stories, and I hope you continue to inform and entertain us - the sad lot who don't get to travel.

I have watched countless Stalingrad documentaries and I never get tired of them. It's a city that saw immense human suffering and loss of life but good to see how it was nicely rebuilt considering all that stood there were rubbles and chimneys. Some European cities that weren't destroyed as badly still carry scars from the war.

Two of my great-grandfathers participated in this battle. I'm so proud of them

First of all, how beautiful and sad it was to go when it was lightly snowing?! Those snow flakes coming down in that memorial was so beautiful but brought a tear to me. The second world war is super sensitive to me because im both Russian and German. I went to the Russian memorial in Berlin in the tiergarten. I was looking for it going through that park but couldn’t find it, and then all of a sudden this huge curtain of sad energy hit me. I kept walking a little further and thats when i saw the monument and then i realized why i felt such sadness. Found out that that place also served as a mass grave. I definitely could feel it and I totally cried there. The only other time that has ever happened to me is when i went to ground zero at the World Trade Center in new york at the monument there. I could really feel their energy. I feel like if i went to that monument i would tear up there too. Not only because of that but also because of how beautiful and impressive that monument is. Hopefully i can go this summer. Thank you for the beautiful video ❤️.

Russia is really a hidden gem! Most people just think Moscow or St Petersburg, which both look amazing, but there’s so much more to Russia

Not a dark story, but a HEROIC one.

Without the heroic defense of this great city ww2 would have lost. This is the apex of heroism. I salute the brave men and women

Thank you for taking us to see such a beautiful, moving monument, such a terrible, incomprehensible time in history. So much suffering. Russia has so much to offer for travellers

Thanks from INDIA.So much to learn from your wonderful Vlogs from RUSSIA and its history .

Wow...the whole room went quiet when I put this video on. Laptops and phones were ignored for a while. A very poignant and moving start. No matter what 'side' anyone fought on or which country they fought for, today, in the 21st century, we should honour, respect and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice. Brilliant video as usual guys.

I only had a vague idea about the Battle so I had to look it up after this vlog. What a terrible, horrible time. Thanks for the education. And your room was so nice it would be hard to leave it.

Great history lesson. Wonderful memorial. Must be beautiful in the spring and summer. Thank you.

thank you - I love when you tell us the history of the places you visit - and you do it with such respect and empathy

I love your channel. You both epitomise everything that is good in this world. Your humour your approach and your neutrality is not easy to achieve but your make it look so effortless. Your comment about how we were taught history in the uk is so true and is also so sad given our proximity to the Eastern Europe. I can’t even get close to understanding the suffering of the Slavic people over the last 100 years. What’s happening at the moment is absolutely braking my heart. Timothy Snyder makes a very interesting point, history in the west is always moving westwards. The Greeks the Romans Central Europe the British empire and now American history. Stalingrad was a moment in history of heroism suffering and the pointless and horror of war. I pray we are not soon going to repeat this lesson again. Another great video.

Harriet was there when it was Stalingrad back in the 70's. during the Soviet Union Era . An Interesting video. Thank you for taking us along. Jim and Harriet . Richmond, Va.
