Is this Russian documentary series about the Eastern Front f

>>1901872
Judging by the very first minutes - it has lots of propaganda in the form of omissions and outright lies.

An example notable omission is how Nazi Germany and USSR became neighbors in the first place - by jointy participating in dismemberment of states that lied between them. The fact that the Soviet border moved westward is largely responsible for how outstretched the Soviet army was in 1941. The army units moved west, but not their supply bases.

An example of a lie - that the Soviet army was on peacetime footing. In reality, the Soviet army ballooned between 1939 and 1941 and the whole county underwent rapid militarization. This build up was halfway through in 1941, which was also a large factor why Germany was so successful in the first months of Barbarossa. It's true that the Soviets didn't want a war with Germany in 1941 and that they were caught unprepared. But that's because they aimed for a later date - Stalin wanted the Allies and Axis to fight it out and pick up the leftovers.

>>1901890
Another lie - that Soviet armies were spread throughout the USSR.

If that was the case, the Germans would have much harder times. In real world, Soviet armies were deployed at the border and Germans were able to inflict massive loses on the Soviets in few encirclement battles. The Soviet pre-Barbarossa army almost ceased to exist after the first two-three months and Soviet were saved only by their rapid mobilization of new units.

And those were just very first minutes. I believe anyone wanting a sincere information on the Eastern Front should just skip that piece of shit documentary.

>>1901890

At least it doesn't push the ludicrous myth that the Soviet Army intentionally retreated in 1941 as some kind of strategic plan. The communist party and commie apologists in my country legit believe that

To add to what I wrote here,

anyone wishing a genuine history of the Eastern Front should watch this lecture by David Glantz

It's also great in exposing the massive amount of Soviet cover-up of what was really happening on the Eastern Front.

Notably, Russian trolls flocked in immediately and shitposted the fuck out of it, so they had to disable comments.

your other points are valid but there is literally no evidence other than made up bullshit by suvorov that would support the "soviets would attack soon" train of thought and everything points to the opposite

>>1902247

Suvorov argued for something else. Suvorov wrote that the Soviet attack was imminent and that Barbarossa was a desperate preemptive war akin to the stunt pulled out (more successfully) by Israel in the Six-Day War.

Suvorov is full of shit and indeed nothing suggests that the Soviets were preparing for an immediate war. Is is however, as I see it, fairly established that Stalin aimed with his army expansion plan for a conflict at some later date. From his perspective, by late 1940 the war between the Allies and the Axis reached some sort of stalemate and whoever grinds the victory would be an easy picking for the forces of global revolution. Or, at least, the Soviets would be able to grab some additional territories and the victor would be too weakened to do anything about it.

Not even close faggot

Stalin announced a new offensive Red Army. And he had already conquered half of Eastern Europe

None can validate anything with the standards Russians set for others m8.

>>1902389
And these standards are?

>>1902417
They will change, the better the opponent's arguments are the tougher they get.
They will always be though enough for the Russian to not accept an opponent's arguments though,

>>1902454
"It's not my arguments are shit and basically claim over claim, it's pesky russkies trolls can't except my divine word"

>>1902512
Knowing Russians are like this is common knowledge m8, don't act dump. Just remember to build a fence between yourself and any east slavs.
