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

Volgograd (Stalingrad), Russia, is a city with an Incredible history. The city is famous around the world under its former name, Stalingrad. Stalingrad, was home to the bloodiest battle of World War 2 and one of the most tragic in history. The events of Stalingrad changed the course of the entire war and he victory at Stalingrad energised the Red Army and shifted the balance of power in the favour of the Soviets. However, with over 2 million deaths, the events the took place in and around this city left a scar on the World.

Modern day Volgograd is a lovely city and a wonderful example of Soviet (post-ww2) city planning. We spent 2 days exploring this beautiful city in the heart of European Russia.

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.

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

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.

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

The Motherland Calls statue in Volgograd is the most badass and the most beautiful modern-era statue that I've ever saw in my entire life. The heroes of the Soviet Union and the modern-day Russia deserved this.

[katenickels]

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

[patf.]

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.

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.

Thank you for another great story/video. Please keep up the good work. Stalingrad is a city everyone should visit at least once in their lives.

Such amazing history! You are so right Matt about history in school. Now I, much older than you guys but in the states we never learned how devastating it was over there. The eternal flame and the soldiers gave me chills! Another fabulous video! Thank you

[ZachSolie]

Wow... Incredible. This is why I love following you guys, Ive learned about this place. I know the history and now for the first time I get to see it and its people. Thank you

[chrishamlin]

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.

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 ❤️.

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

[contentangel]

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
