The above link is a video that shows you a very telling graphical representation of the number of deaths during World War II, comparing it to recent history and looking at the huge disparity in deaths between the participating countries.

That was brilliant! Thank you for sharing it. :)

All those people + the millions killed by Stalin. What would the population of Russia be today if all those survived? Scary thought.

Indeed. The Gulag camps were to a great extent populated by people who were too intelligent for Stalin but not smart enough to leave the Soviet Union.

It gives mixed thoughts. On the other hand the purifications surely benefited us in WW2 but on the other hand they may be the reason why Russia still isn't able to grow to be a civilization that's capable of sharing values with the western world. Momentary relief, chronic problem.

Gods, what a crappy streaming site. Video is unwatchable. It won't preload, but it won't let me download it fast enough to watch it. Worse, it keeps playing for a bit without sound before stopping causing audio to be missed.

Muzzy...............Thank You.

I dont know if it was mentioned but as many people died between the day of the attempt on Hitlers life and the end of the war then the previous four years together.

Purifications?
Strange word to use :old:

The world doesn't need more russians. They cause enough trouble as it is.

That was really good. Thanks.

If the communist horrors didn't happen then Russia would be a very different place with different people. Different culture.

My word, you think Russians is a good thing? Have you skipped a few decades of recent history?

When i come over to visit Bizman can i stay at your house? :)

I would say that Russians, just like Americans, Swedes, Ahfghanis etc etc, are most decent persons that just want to live their lives, have a job, family etc. There are a few idiots but most arent.

I know, I have a few russian friends myself but the idiots tend to get in leading positions and that's the problem.

More Russians isn't really a bad thing?
If we have a problem with anything Russian it's their government.
