This recording is only a repetition of the original red by the famous Yuri Levitan several decades afterwards. It`s interesting that Germans conducted their own broadcast on a nearby frequency so that thousands of Soviet people could hear Ribbentrop`s declaration in Russian. On that day radio receivers were on at official places like local Party committees and so on. Only after a few days a decree was issued for private receivers to be stored at the post offices till the end of the war. Rumors circulated that Hitler had asked Stalin to permit Levitan to work on Radio Berlin during the short period of friendship.

I had no idea that they called it the "Great Patriotic War" from the very beginning!

And thus started the deadliest war in military history, claiming nearly 30 million lives over 1400 days...

An interesting fact that Molotov is the one who is peaking. And he was the one who signed a non aggressive pact with Germany

I imagine what it would be like if after the announcement of the German invasion the Soviet Union had played the song Holy War right after, it would be perfect.

To think how horrible things would get form here on out is disheartening even if it's already happened a long time ago. WE NEED TO STOP THIS NONSENSE.
