In RIA Novosti's official site, there's one article that has few interviews of the veterans. For example, there's talk about how one soldier took part to the ambphious landings to Hanko. Well... there never was such thing.

Only battle there ever was, was between a land fortress Russarö and the Kirov (in which the Kirov was damaged and had to spent some months in the drydock). Also, one veteran said that when they finally conquered Hanko, "they bathed in the blood of the Finns". Umm... Ivan you really need to give up the Vodka. :p When Soviet troops took Hanko, there was nobody there to defend it. Why? Because it was in the terms of the truce that Finland was to lend Hanko to Soviet Union for 30yrs.

Ok, that's it. Sorry for the rant, just had to let it out. No pun intended.

Disinfo and propaganda has come the truth in their minds. We know how they raped the churches and property in Hanko. Wonder if they remember how they drowned by the thousands when they were kicked out of Gangut.

Yeh, I cant understand the propaganda thing that is still going on in Russia. It's so obvious, so why keep doing it? Over 60yrs have gone by, so I cant see who will it hurt to get the facts right and stop over-glorifying their achievements.

The major battles, man vs man, tank vs tank, were in the East Front, that is a fact.
Pacific was though tough.
Maybe you should have listened Patton and continued East, he said that you lost the war.

The Second World War officially ended on September 8, 1951 with the Treaty Of San Francisco. Russia (as the Soviet Union) was one of the signers. It went into effect on April 28, 1952.
