So today is the 66th anniversary of the Soviet army defeating Nazi germany and apparently it's a pretty big day over there. How are you going to celebrate TWI? By releasing new material on ROHOS, I hope?
Victory day in Russia

Celebrated is victory against Nazi Germany, not the communism itself. And btw. there are also other bad systems such as capitalism.
I can expect that most of negative comments will be from "nazi fans", most popular group on WW2 forums etc.

It is Victory Day - it is not a political event. even if politicians and other scum try and make that (and Memorial Day and everything else) into something political.

It is a day to be remembered forever and we are lucky to live in different times. Let's agree on that and never forget.

That must be the only day of the year when Russian troops are allowed to wear rolled up sleeves.

Former U.S. Secretary of State comments on the Fall of Berlin in 1945 (part of the TV series 'Russia's War: Blood Upon The Snow'; the DVD version does not include these commentaries):

I saw some of the celebrations from Russia last year on the 65th Anniversary through Youtube.

Its a victory day that should be celebrated by Russia (and its former states). Forget your political leanings, too many people lost their lives.

QFT. Russia did the vast majority of the bleeding for the Allied effort in WWII, regardless of politics and the like.

Interestingly enough, I was watching Shields and Brooks on the News Hour with Jim Lehr, when Shields mentioned that Carl von Clausewitz said, and I'm paraphrasing, that war is the continuation of politics.

I will celebrate this day just like a true Russian!
What's that pic from hahaha?
BTW, anyone who down voted the OP has issues. If Russia doesn't have the right to celebrate victory and the end of a war that cost over 23 million Russian lives than who does?
Friggin SS revisionist nuts on this site...=P

It is, it's just that the people celebrating in Russia now have zero connection with the political climate of the 1940s. (the only vets still alive today were likely too young to be connected to the Party in any real sense)

But I wonder if the end justifies the means or doesn't.

Depends heavily on whether or not you're the one that wins.
