German Revisionists Want to Dismantle WWII Memorial Commemorating Tank Battle of Prokhorovka!
Subscribe to Vesti News
Demolishing the memorial to the fallen soldiers and rewriting the history of the Tank Battle of Prokhorovka, which apparently never happened— this was what was proposed in an article written by the lead editor of the history section of the German newspaper Die Welt. The German government refused to comment on this idea. But the author was challenged by the readers, who wrote indignant posts.
Russia: 155 Soviet soldiers reburied in Kursk ceremony

USSR's First Victory Over Nazism Documentary
The Second World War started more then 60 years ago. Generations have matured, hardly able to imagine what the war was really like or truly realize the high price paid by Russia for victory. They don't know who the heroes of war are or who made a tremendous contribution to the fight against fascism. Until recently, it was hard to find the name of General Mikhail Snegov in the history books or in Russian military museums. For many years, Soviet historians concealed the heroic deeds of both the General and his garrison, in the town of Peremyshl, in June 1941. He was responsible for the Soviet Union's first victory in the Second World War.
This is an old, five-story house on the outskirts of Moscow. The son of the legendary General Yury Snegov lives here.

STORYLINE:
Russian President Vladimir Putin unveiled a giant memorial on a hill in southwest Moscow on Saturday to commemorate the victory in World War II.
He praised the heroism of Soviet citizens, saying the Soviet war effort had liberated Europe from Nazi Germany.
On Monday more than 50 world leaders will be in Moscow for commemorations of the 60th anniversary of the end of World War II in Europe, an event that will pay tribute to the huge human sacrifice paid by the Soviet Union.
Almost 27 million Soviet citizens, soldiers and civilians, died in the war.
Our people defended not only their Motherland but also freed 11 European countries. On the fields of battles from the Barents Sea to the Caucasus the military machine of Nazism was broken, the Russian leader said.
Because of the 1939 non-aggression pact with Hitler, the Soviet Union didn't come into the war until 1941, nearly two years after it began with the German invasion of Poland.
Once involved, the Soviet Union suffered the most casualties and the Red Army fought most of the epic battles that turned its tide Stalingrad, Kursk, and the battle of Berlin that sealed Hitler's doom.
The new monument, unveiled by Putin and Russian Defence Minister Sergei Ivanov on Poklonnaya Hill, honours the heroism of Soviet Red
Army soldiers, officers, sailors, partisans and workers behind the front.
It features 15 giant bronze columns, including 10 columns dedicated to Red Army fronts, which stand in the order of how representatives of those fronts marched at the Victory parade in 1945, three columns to Soviet fleets, one to partisans, and one to workers behind the front.
Each of the columns, which are similar to each other, is wrapped by a glory wreath at the bottom and topped with bronze Red Army flags.
They all stand in one row along the territory of Poklonnaya Hill.

The 75th Anniversary of the Battle of Kursk
As Russia remembers the Soviet Army's exploits in combatting the Nazis push in 1941-45, it cannot leave out the major turning point of the war, which remains to this day the largest tank battle in history: the Battle of Kursk.
The Germans began their push against the Soviet forces near the city of Kursk, some 500 kilometers southwest of Moscow, in July 1943. But receiving early warning from the intelligence services about the upcoming attack, the Soviets reinforced their positions - resulting in a showdown with over 8,000 tanks, 5,000 planes and 3 million soldiers involved on both sides.
Despite the Germans' determined advance, the Soviet forces managed to reverse every gain, using the famous T-34 main battle tanks and IS-2 heavy tanks, as well as Katyusha multiple rocket launchers. The Red Army was about to go on the offensive when Hitler called off his forces on hearing that US troops had landed in Sicily.
The main result of the battle was the Soviet army gaining a platform to start a counter-offensive against Nazi Germany.
Many of the Soviet servicemen at that time were very young, having volunteered or been drafted into the army straight after school. For some, the bloody Kursk battle was their first real combat: I hadn't even turned 18 in January 1943, when I was drafted into the army, war veteran Denis Iokhin said. The battle of Kursk was my baptism of fire. I remember when we commenced an attack and came under mortar fire, he recalled. One of our loaders, the guys who fetched ammunition, had his legs blown off. I rushed to help him, but the unit commander said, Where are you going? We have a medic, it's his job! I was in tears, but I returned and joined the attack.

Battle of Kursk museum. Belgorod, Russia
The battle of Kursk was fought in the first half of July 1943. One hour in the train to the north of Belgorod lies the village of Prokorovka which was the scene of the largest tank battle in history when a German and Russian column stumbled into each other by accident.
This battle marked the beginning of the end for Nazi Germany as American and British forces landed in Sicily on 10 July 1943 and Hitler called off the attack in what Manstein described as turning victory into defeat.
The museum in Belgorod is one of the best battle museums I have seen anywhere.
The staff were extremely kind to me on my two visits.

The IS Tank was a series of heavy tanks developed as a successor to the KV-series by the Soviet Union during World War II. The heavy tank was designed with thick armor to counter German 88 mm guns and carried a main gun capable of defeating Tiger and Panther tanks. It was mainly a breakthrough tank, firing a heavy high-explosive shell that was useful against entrenchments and bunkers. The IS-2 went into service in April 1944 and was used as a spearhead by the Red Army in the final stage of the Battle of Berlin. The IS acronym is the anglicized initialism of Joseph Stalin (Ио́сиф Ста́лин, Iosif Stalin).
Putin opens restored fountain symbolic of Stalingrad battle
Russian President Vladimir Putin arrived in Volgograd on Friday to attend a ceremony marking the opening of the newly restored Children's Dance Fountain, a 1939 relic of the Battle of Stalingrad.
August 23 marks the large-scale Nazi bombardment 71 years ago of the city then known as Stalingrad. The German Tank Corps 14 under the command of General von Wittersheim broke through Soviet defences and advanced on the Volga river bank. A massive bombardment of the city ordered by the Nazi leadership and launched in the afternoon devastated the city and left it in ruins.
In a speech Putin recounted the exalted victory: Seventy years ago today our troops inflicted a resounding defeat to the Nazi forces at the Kursk Salient. Each of these towns has become a symbol of our victory. But all of them have their own symbols of the war. In the pre-war Stalingrad, these were the fountain and the sculpture of dancing children. It stood for life, for joy, for a happy childhood.
The statue of six children dancing around a crocodile was modelled on a famous Soviet photograph taken after the German bombardment, showing children dancing in a ring, with the ruined city in the background. The symbolic fountain was restored after the war, but then removed in the 1950s as the city was rebuilt and developed.
The city of Volgograd, located 900 kilometres (600 miles) south of Moscow, used to be named after Josef Stalin. The city is held in popular memory as the site of the 1942-43 Battle of Stalingrad, a turning point in Russia's WWII fight against Nazi Germany.

Nuclear submarine fire should never be repeated - Putin
W/S Russian President Vladimir Putin
SOT, Vladimir Putin, President of the Russian Federation (in Russian): After that you should report to me individually on the situation and possible ways to end it conclusively. Surely, such incidents should never repeat. This is not an isolated case.
W/S Russian naval official speaking to Putin in conference
SOT, Vladimir Putin, President of the Russian Federation (in Russian): Now I would like to ask the Northern Fleet Commander Admiral Korolev about the implementation of my order to deploy a military base on the Novosibirsk Islands. Our troops left that region in 1993. However it is an important Arctic Ocean spot in terms of the new stage of the Northern Sea Route development. We have agreed not only on establishing a military base there, but we also intend on fixing the airfield and ensuring participation of Emergency Ministry staff, hydrologists and climate experts in joint work. We want to ensure security and effective operation at the Northern Sea Route, so that Russia can effectively control this part of its territory.

Russia: Nuclear submarine fire should never be repeated - Putin
In a teleconference with naval officials in Sochi on Monday, Russian President Vladimir Putin emphasised that a recent fire on a nuclear submarine should 'never repeat'. Putin also asked for a progress report on the redevelopment of an abandoned Arctic Sea military base on the Novosibirsk Islands.
Russian nuclear submarine Tomsk was undergoing repairs at the Zvezda shipyard in the Pacific Coast city of Bolshoi Kamen when an onboard fire broke out. The vessel's weapons systems were removed and its reactor shut down while it mechanics were working on it. No injuries or radiation leaks have been reported. Officials speculate that negligence during gas-welding on the submarine caused the fire.
Given the expansion of sea traffic through the North Sea Passage, Russia has stepped up its naval presence in the Arctic. Putin ordered the re-establishment of a military base on the strategic Novosibirsk Islands, from which Russian troops departed in 1993. A military presence on these islands would ensure 'security' and 'effective operation' of the North Sea Passage, and 'effective control' of this important Russian territory, according to Putin.
A warming climate has allowed greater commercial and military access in Russia's northern seas, causing the region to become strategically more important to Russian interests.
