Comments by "Nicholas Conder" (@nicholasconder4703) on "The REAL Story of Pavlov's House at Stalingrad" video.

  1. Of course, one reason that Soviet propaganda may have idolized Jacob Pavlov is because, as you state at the end of the video, he was an ardent Communist who survived the war, and could therefore be paraded around as a socialist national hero. Naumov, on the other hand, was a captain (much less bourgeois than a "mere" sergeant), may not have been an ardent Communist (which we will never know), and died during the battle. Therefore, he was far less useful for promoting the ideals of Communism than Pavlov. It is a pity the Soviet propaganda distorts reality so much, and in fact has partially denigrated the actual act of heroism it is trying to extol.
