I thought about your comment a bit more, and I see a big problem in the second part of it. It does not pertain to the article itself, which is about remembrance of how WWII ended, but about a fundamental fault line in Hungary, that can be used implement a divide-and-conquer colour revolution in Hungary. The way you talk about "us and them" and "true Hungarians", is a way to disaster - exactly what we should be on the look-out for if we are not to walk blindly into yet another (final) world war.
As most of the "them" are not even considering themselves as Hungarians, I don't see any problem.
There is nothing for me to be happy with - I am an ethnic Russian, and you should remember that the ring-leaders of the red colour revolution of 1917 in Russia were almost entirely of Jewish origin, financed from the West.
Also, I am not entirely sure what you meant by "we are not at all grateful for exporting democracy and freedom for us" did you mean the Western powers? OR the Soviet system (which was definitely not a democracy - an irony, as "soviet" means "council" and in theory implied direct democracy).
The article is about how the outcome of WWII is subtly altered exactly to the sentiments that you expressed in your comment.
No, I exactly mean the USSR. They also came with the democracy and freedom bullshit when they slowly got rid of the last democratically elected parliament between 1945 and 1948 (with the help of the NKVD) and replaced it with Rakosi and his buddies. (The same stock as the 1917 revolutionary leadership and Porky and Rats today.) Then in 1956 when the ppl revolted against these bastards Khrushchev sent 17 divisions to deal with the "fascist hordes" (cca. 20-30 000 militia and armed civilians). You might see some similar events today...
Stepping carefully on the steep stairs, I climb Mount Gellert: in 1947 there was a monument to 80,000 Soviet soldiers killed in the battle for the capital of Hungary. You can see in my photos what’s left of it – a bronze figure of a soldier with the PCA has been removed, five-pointed star is removed, the names of all 146 who died in the battle for Gellert carefully erased from the marble stella – a monument was simply made impersonal. And not far from another obelisk to the soldiers of the USSR in the center of Budapest (at Freedom Square), there is even a monument to… an ally of Hitler – dictator Miklos Horthy. And even though this initiative is not coming from the government, but from the far-right party “Jobbik”, the closeness is quite disgusting.
At first, for the non-brainwashed Hungarians Horthy was a war hero and later a great politician who restored order and law during and after the communist revolution in 1919. With his leadership the country successfully recovered from the consequences of the first great war. He also did everything what he could to keep Hungary away from WW2. Unfortunately he wasn't a dictator that's why the "hawkish" pro-German parties in the parliament finally were able to bring the country into a war.
Second. Jobbik isn't a far right party. It's a quite nationalist conservative party what is brave enough to touch some taboos, including holding an accounting about the privatizations in the early 90's. (That was what really blown the fuse in the MSM and in the members or the then ruling parties.) BTW they are that pro-Russian kind of nazis, and the only party in the Parliament what supported and keep supporting the DPR and LPR politically and with donations. (You should read less MSM bullshit, mate
)
That monument is the symbol of more than half century of occupation, suppression and tens of thousands of ppl who died in the basements of the Andrassy Street 60, erected by the most hated government in Hungarian history for a bunch of honest soldiers but for a lot of rapists, looters and murderers as well. Are you really surprised because of we don't like it?
So, now it's hot summers and not cold winters that were a deciding factor, eh. Let's add to the mix that Soviet Union have several climatic zones, including dry steppe regions in, for example, Crimea. Novorossijsk was bombed by the Germans for two years before they managed to conquer the city.
You are trying to diminish the heroism of the people by trying to find whatever alternative explanation you can and pushing the huge human sacrifice to the second row, or even obliterating it altogether. And this is one of the weapons used by the Western propaganda machine - the weather myth is one of them.
Also, now it's Russians and the destruction of their country that is to blame for the German aggression. The revolution, the red colour revolution of 1917, was implemented by the Western powers. Don't try to shift the blame on the victims.
The weather conditions and the transport network were two important factors in the German defeat indeed. Recently I've seen a youtube video about the these aspects of the siege of Stalingrad, and the German gear was really inferior to the Russian equipment between such conditions. Actually my great grandfather who fought on the eastern front told me the same. They often used captured Russian arms and garments instead of their govt issued stuff because of those were better suited for the local conditions and ammunition was relative easy to collect. Transport... well, many times the supplies were sitting in warehouses some 800 kilometres behind the lines because of on the few available transport routes the Germans prioritized their own supplies and that still wasn't enough
