Deputies in the Russian State Duma proposed to return to "Stalin's repressions"

In Russia it is necessary to revive the concept of "enemy of the people" and introduce military field tribunals to be able to judge directly at the front, said Andrey Gurulyov, a member of the Russian State Duma Defense Committee.

Gurulyov urged to return to Stalin's methods and told about his grandfather, who fought during World War II. According to the deputy, "everyone understood that at that time it was necessary to do this in the state." "People ask me, 'Do you want Stalin's repressions?' Yes, I do! <...> Yes, there were mistakes. But there was discipline. And today the main issue is discipline," he said.

Gurulyov believes that Russian soldiers must take personal responsibility for their orders and tasks and not complain about anything.

This actually makes some sense in tough terrain areas. Horses can go where ATV's cannot. We have a guy in our rough foothills who is authorized to do logging - with horses. In the winter, he gives sleigh rides.

Speaking of Logs: Russians are VERY practical people: the T-34 tank carried a large Wooden Log strapped to the hull. If they got stuck in melting tundra bogs, the log would be chained to the front of the treads and driven over to break the suction.
Also, we wondered why their Jet fighters had a selectable air intake on TOP. When operating from unimproved runways, getting rocks in the turbine is BAD. Top intake for ground ops solves the issue, with balloon-type tires as well.

Duhhh.. because ukraine destroyed russia and it doesn't exist anymore

No victory - no parade:

More than 20 Russian cities have canceled Victory Day parades

At least 21 Russian cities have canceled their May 9 Victory Day parades, according to the independent outlet Verstka.

Officials in some cities, including Kaluga, Ryazan, Oryol, Saratov, Lipetsk, Yelets, and Tyumen cited “security concerns” as the reason for foregoing the celebrations.

Authorities in Pskov and Velikiye Luki also mentioned concern for “special military operation participants” as a reason to cancel the cities’ parades. Pskov Governor Mikhail Vedernikov, for instance, said that veterans undergoing rehabilitation “perceive [fireworks] in a completely different way.” Officials in Kursk announced the city’s parade would be canceled “in light of the current situation.”

Authorities in Bryansk, Krasnodar, and Sochi didn’t provide explanations for their cancellations.

Good, maybe they have an actual anti-war segment in their population.

The flyover is expectedly cancelled. As no rehearsals had taken place, this was a guarantee.

Since the invasion the amount of vehicles in the annual parade has plummeted into a pitiful display:
2021: 197
2022: 131
2023: 51

This is not decimation. Becase decimation is removing 1/10. This is fucking quartering.

Ghey Nazi Joo Clown has quartered OUR GREAT CHRISTIAN LEADER'S MILITARY!!!!

The USSR fell on December 26, 1991. Russia is NOTHING like the USSR was. If you're 30, I can understand why you don't know this, if you are 50 and were entirely oblivious for the first 20 years of your life, I can understand why you don't know this, but if you're older, that's just dumb of you.

The US today is more like the USSR was, than Russia is.

Ukrainian farmers now have more and better tanks than the Moscow Victory Day parade.

"The Russian has no regard for human life and is an all out son of a bitch, a barbarian, and a chronic drunk -- General George Patton."

Nonsense because the Russians single-handedly defeated Nazi Germany massively and decisively. On the Eastern Front - In operation Bagration, in the summer of 1944 - and in support of the Normandy Invasion, Russia wiped out 34 German divisions and the German Army Group Center ceased to exist.

In contrast, when the allies invaded Normady in the summer of 1944, they faced 34 German Divisions from Scandinavia to Italy.

Besides, these days, Russia is defending Western Civilization and Christianity while the Globalist Bozos are trying to eradicate Christianity and Western Civilization.

Yes, using 360 divisions and over 105,000 T-34 tanks. When Germany invaded the USSR, it did so with 190 divisions.

Irrelevant and the fact remains: - In operation Bagration, in the summer of 1944 Russia wiped out 34 German divisions and the German Army Group Center ceased to exist.

Operation Bagration contradicts General Patton. Period.

Wasn't that done by Stalin using Impressed Ethnics that were basically murdered? One gun for ten conscripts? "Keep pushing forward: if the gun drops, pick it up and move forward."
Compared to Stalin, Hitler was a piker. Hitler only managed to kill 6 million - Stalin's numbers are estimated between 20-30 million killed during his "purges."
Why did T-34's have a machine gun pointing backward in the turret? So they could kill any conscripts that tried to run from the fight.

"Wasn't that done by Stalin using Impressed Ethnics that were basically murdered?"

No. Stalin opposed operation Bagration and General Konstantin Rokossovsky who pushed for this plan of attack. Rokossovsky ended up having the support of other generals as well.

Patton's statement that "The Russian has no regard for human life and is an all out son of a bitch, a barbarian, and a chronic drunk" was wrong and in fact arrogant.

"Why did T-34's have a machine gun pointing backward in the turret? So they could kill any conscripts that tried to run from the fight."

This is propaganda rocketjoe. Regardless, early in WWII, the T-34 was one of the best tanks in military service.

German General Heinz Guderian - father of the blitzkrieg - saw the T-34 in action in 1941 at the Battle of Moscow and sent a report to German Headqurters suggesting the adoption of the T-34 by the German army. His suggestion basically said 'copy this tank and do not change anything. We need this at the front ASAP.' His suggestion was rejected.

I wonder if that story was true. Russians are Slavs, which were officially untermensch in the Third Reich at that time. If he had sent that, he would have probably been arrested at least by the SS. Most likely shot or offered the Rommel Option after that.

Probably closer to 12 million, 6M is just the Heebs and that's probably more like 3-4M. I'd guess Hitler 12M and Stalin at least 20M and probably closer to 24M. But Stalin has more time to work, though.

No. I am going by memory... he wrote that in his bestseller book "Panzer Leader" after the war.

Does Russia still exist? Wasn't it overrun by NATO and the ukies with their new F-16s and also bankrupted by US sanctions?

Someone forgot to change the queue cards - it's the Chicoms, not the Russians, that are influencing elections. Case in point: the NYS 15-year high-ranking apparatchik being a spy for CCP.
