Interesting part of this year's Victory Day parade in Moscow was the presence of US and British troops. Wonder what the REAL reaction in the Russian people was to this, as opposed to the one reported by lazy Western media?

I read one comment from a Russian veteran, who said he had no problem with the presence of foreigners in Red Square. "I don't know any Americans, but I was quite happy to eat their sausages at the front".


To the best of my knowledge (from personal meetings with veterans, memoirs, etc) the average Russian had nothing against the average American. They appreciated the lend lease, but the long coming of the Second Front was an old and bitter joke for most. When the allies met on the Elbe, the Russians greeted the Americans as bothers in arms.

I have always thought it a shame that that attitude did not carry over to the higher echelons. I also once posted a picture with comments to that effect. As I recall, that was the first time I was called a Commie on this forum.


I meant Russian people of today.


Not sure I understand the question.


What do Russian people of May 2010 think about American and other Western troops taking part in the Victory Day parade?


Well... the officials removed Stalin's pictures from banners before the event... it was rather huge scandal before the parade...

BTW, what I saw on the "Russia Today" (Russian Satellite channel with news in 100% full American English) - the responses were very positive (they interviewed the citizens, bystanders and veterans alike)!

Just checked... nope... no melodies of his from the YouTube "ring the bell in my head"... my parents might have known about him though (after the WWII, for a short time of 5-10 years, the Russian movies were predominant)...

Chickenboy, I very much looking forward to our grand campaign. I'll be ordering a new carving set from Sur-la-table and new "chicken" cookbooks from Amazon. Maybe I'll serve something from it if you still want a August "mid-America" WITP summit!

Hi Leo,

My very loose understanding of "Russia Today" is that it is a Russian government mouthpiece, exclusively funded by the government as a means of 'message development' for the English speaking audience. In my opinion, it bears little semblance to anything that the 'average Russian' of today feels about anything.

Steve,

Safe travels.

I'm still interested in a mid-August shindig in your new digs. Hopefully the fare you serve will surpass the quality of the gruel that your prospective supernumerary Allied prisoners will receive from their Imperial hosts.

I'll have the first slaughter...erm, turn...sent to you within a week or so.
