Ten Historic Soviet Sites of Berlin
As a result of World War 2 and its aftermath, the histories of the Soviet Union and Germany are inextricably linked.
Some of the most tumultuous world events of the 20th Century happened between these two countries, ultimately resulting in the division of Germany in 1945 and the Cold War for the next 44 years.
In 1990 Germany was reunified, and in 1991 The USSR, which at the time was the world's only other super power ,seemingly collapsed in weeks splitting into 16 independent states.
Now, well into the 21st Century we can still find remnants of that turbulent period in human history in present day Berlin.
This video is a 10 stop tour of historical 20th century soviet related sites in Berlin and their story.

Volgograd (Stalingrad) Russia 4k | Mamayev Kurgan - Walking tour
#Stalingrad #Walkingtour #Мамаевкурган
Mamayev Kurgan is a dominant height overlooking the city of Volgograd (formerly Stalingrad) in Southern Russia. The name in Russian means tumulus of Mamai. The formation is dominated by a memorial complex commemorating the Battle of Stalingrad (August 1942 to February 1943). The battle, a hard-fought Soviet victory over Axis forces on the Eastern Front of World War II, turned into one of the bloodiest battles in human history. At the time of its installation in 1967 the statue, named The Motherland Calls, formed the largest free-standing sculpture in the world; today it is the tallest sculpture of a woman in the world.
When forces of the German Sixth Army launched their attack against the city centre of Stalingrad on 13 September 1942, Mamayev Kurgan (appearing in military maps as Height 102.0) saw particularly fierce fighting between the German attackers and the defending soldiers of the Soviet 62nd Army. Control of the hill became vitally important, as it offered control over the city.
The hill changed hands several times. By 27 September, the Germans again captured half of Mamayev Kurgan. The Soviets held their own positions on the slopes of the hill, as the 284th Rifle Division defended the key stronghold. The defenders held out until 26 January 1943, when the counterattacking Soviet forces relieved them. The battle of the city ended one week later with an utter German defeat.
After the war, the Soviet authorities commissioned the enormous Mamayev Kurgan memorial complex. Vasily Chuikov, who led Soviet forces at Stalingrad, lies buried at Mamayev Kurgan, the only Marshal of the Soviet Union to be buried outside Moscow.
The monumental memorial was constructed between 1959 and 1967, and is crowned by a huge allegorical statue of the Motherland on the top of the hill. The monument, designed by Yevgeny Vuchetich, has the full name The Motherland Calls! It consists of a concrete sculpture, 52 metres tall, and 85 metres from the feet to the tip of the 27-metre sword, dominating the skyline of the city of Stalingrad (later renamed Volgograd).
The construction uses concrete, except for the stainless-steel blade of the sword, and is held on its plinth solely by its own weight. The statue is evocative of classical Greek representations of Nike, in particular the flowing drapery, similar to that of the Nike of Samothrace.

Five Famous Russian Statues（Google Earth）2021
Do you know these famous statues in Russian? Have you ever been there: Alyosha, Monument to the Sunken Ships, Monument Pobedy, Lenin Monument, Space Conquerors Monument, Rzhevskiy Memorial Sovetskomu Soldatu? How magnificent they are!
Let's virtually tour Volgograd Russia!
Let's explore the world through Google Street View.
Today we are visiting Volgograd Russia. This is a very historic city with lots of beauty and culture. It is the site of one of the deadliest battles in all of human history. There has clearly been a lot of effort put into memorializing the dead and remember the battles fought in the region. The city also has tons of life and a fair amount of new construction. Definitely a place I would enjoy spending some time in and learning more about.
Here you can check out where we have been on Google Maps.
Thanks to Google for Street View.

Journey from Yakutsk, The Coldest City in The World, to Lena Pillars
The next episode of the journey around Far East of Russia in 2021 is devoted to Yakutsk, the coldest city in the world, and Lena Pillars - one of the greatest landmark of the Yakutia, which is also known to be the largest country subdivision with the square of 3083523 km² (1190555 mi²). Everything seems to be the most in this remote part of Russia. The Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) has dozens of incredible landmarks, and one of the most recognizable place of interest is Lena Pillars - rock formation on the bank of the Lena River. Having explored Yakutsk, I hitchhiked all the way to Lena Pillars, using boats at some stretches. Enjoy!
July 2021.

Hero cities of the Soviet Union Города-герои
SEE MY HISTORY PAGE ON FACEBOOK :
Brest Litovsk Breść nad Bugiem Minsk Moscow Moskwa Sevastopol Odessa Leningrad Saint Petersburg Novorossisk Tula Stalingrad Volgograd Murmansk Kiev Smolensk
Ленинград Санкт-Петербург Сталинград Волгоград Севастополь Одесса Киев Москва Брестская крепость Крепость-Герой Новороссийск Керчь Минск Тула Мурманск Смоленск
The Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of USSR introduced the idea of Hero Cities on the 20th anniversary of the beginning of WW2 on 22 June 1961. Hero status was then given to Leningrad, Volgograd (former Stalingrad), Kiev, Sevastopol, and Odessa. Additionally, Moscow was declared Hero City and Brest declared Hero-Fortress.
Subsequent awards were issued as follows:
* September 14, 1973: Kerch and Novorossiysk.
* June 26, 1974: Minsk
* December 7, 1976: Tula
* May 6, 1985: Murmansk, Smolensk
In 1988 the issuance of the award was officially discontinued.
However the usage of the term hero-city is dated to articles in Pravda as early as in 1942. The first official usage of the title is dated by May 1, 1945, when Joseph Stalin issued his Supreme Commander Order #20 commanding to fire salutes in hero cities Leningrad, Stalingrad, Sevastopol, and Odessa.
On 5 April 2005 the State Duma of Russian Federation passed the law in the first reading about the introduction of the honorary title City of Military Glory (Город воинской славы). Potential candidates are places of fierce battles: Oryol, Rzhev, Yelnya, Voronezh, Vyazma, and others.
My channel on you tube : is one of the most prolific from Poland.
There are a number of films here on the packaging industry. This is because I am the publisher of Central and Eastern European Packaging -- - the international platform for the packaging industry in this region focusing on the latest innovations, trends, design, branding, legislation and environmental issues with in-depth profiles of major industry achievers. Most people may think packaging pretty boring but it possibly effects your life more than you really imagine!
Central and Eastern European Packaging examines the packaging industry throughout this region, but in particular in the largest regional economies which are Russia, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Ukraine and Austria. That is not to say that the other countries are forgotten, they are not, but obviously there is less going on. However the fact that there are so many travel related films here is not from holidays but from business trips attending trade fairs around the region.
In 1997 I founded Polish Business News .There are a number of business related films here and I intend to do many more on CRM (customer relations management).
My blog can be found via and and contains background information and more details of many of my films. This information is in English.

Послевоенный Ржев / Postwar Rzhev
Послевоенный Ржев
Post War Rzhev.
Rzhev is one of the oldest towns in Russia having been founded in the Middle Ages and mentioned in documents dating back to 1019.
During World War II, Rzhev was occupied by German troops from 14 October 1941 to 3 March 1943. More than one-sixth of the population was sent off to forced labor in Germany during the Nazi occupation and some nine thousand residents were shot, starved, or tortured to death in a concentration camp set up in the center of town. During this occupation, the general area of Rzhev, Sychyovka and Vyazma was the site of a set of major military operations between the Red Army and Nazi German military forces. These operations, which resulted in a great loss of civilian and military life, are commonly referred to as the Battles of Rzhev and almost completely wiped out the population of the town. Almost no old architecture survived these battles.

Budapest | Memento Park (Szoborpark): Final resting place of Soviet monuments [Hungary]
In 2021 we’ve done a city trip to Budapest. During this trip, we visited Memento Park Budapest (Szoborpark): the final resting place for Soviet monuments after the fall of communism! An absolute unique Statue Park in Budapest.
During our road trip to Hungary, we spend a week for our city trip to Budapest. In this week we drove to Memento Park Museum. A piece of Communist History is shown here: after the fall of communism, a lot of the Soviet Monuments have been removed from the city of Budapest. They found a new home in this unique outdoor museum: Memento Park Budapest. Definitely one of the most unique Budapest attractions. Whether you are on a road trip to Hungary or just doing a multi-day city trip to Budapest: this museum is a hidden gem in Budapest and definitely one of the best things to do in Budapest!
