Lot of propaganda in the video. Truth is more simple. Of those "repatriated" majority were in fact simply enemy combatants. They fought for the Germans against USSR, and many committed war crimes against civilian population, since they were mostly anti-partisan troops. Indirectly, they fought against Western Allies too, because they tied up Soviet troops that could be used against Germans. @TIK should learn not to take "truth" for a face value from someone called Epstein ;) And not to give them his hardly earned money.

@davidperrier6149 Actually, truth is always simple. Lies and half-truths are complicated, like a spider's web.

@jussim.konttinen4981 Technically, Petrichenko was off and on NKVD agent. He was not sentenced to death. Instead he died in mysterious circumstances in labor camp.

@jwrosenbury 1949 ... ;) In any case, Soviet citizens fighting against Soviet Union would be under jurisdiction of Soviet penal law. According to agreement between Allies, even Germans fighting against USSR were handed over to Soviets. One notable example was Erich Hartmann. It was part of Yalta Agreements.

@Sedgewise47 I did, but the situation does not change. Person being an Axis soldier, plus Soviet citizen, does not leave much legal room to wiggle. As for sentences, remember what happened to Lord Haw-Haw (William Joyce) .

@jussim.konttinen4981 No one denies Great Purge. Still, fighting for an enemy that wanted to simply exterminate 20-30 millions of your people and make slaves-serfs out of rest of them was simply unacceptable .

@mattmoloch1212 And how would fighting for Germans help ? Stalin did kill Polish officers at Katyn, and he did cause Holodomor by his incompetence, but Germans were planning to kill between 20-30 million Slavs outright and turn rest into slaves. And these were not idle threats , look what happened with population of Minsk and Belorussia , in Kiev, Kharkov, Leningrad, Stalingrad ... No matter how bad Stalin was, he was nowhere near Hitler for Slavic population. Accept the simple fact that these people were regarded by ordinary Soviet citizens as traitors. This is not a matter of ideology, it is matter of survival.

@crabbytemptations1771 They were guilty of being enemy combatants, plus they were Soviet citizens. That is it. And most of them did survive. They got prison sentences, it was harsh, but imagine what would happen to British citizens that supported Germans. Lord Haw-Haw was executed and he was not combatant at all.

@DaveSCameron Nope, he is a product of final years of Western culture. Frankfurt school poisoned the minds of Western academia . Rest is just mopping up operation .

@billosby9997 And you seem to be getting woke participation contestant trophy :P

@jussim.konttinen4981 YEs, but before that thousands were executed. Search for Finnish Shoot on the Spot Declaration.

@mattmoloch1212 Not really, unless you count in lives lost due to incompetence of Red Army leadership (both soldiers and civilians that died because of unnecessary Red Army defeats) . There are Soviet population censuses before and after WW2. While they may been manipulated, it is commonly taken that Soviet population did increase before the war (even if you count in Holodomor and purges) and then dropped drastically during the war . Officially USSR lost 27 million people in the war, unofficially it was even worse. As for anti-communists who fled to the West, nobody was really forcing them to join Cossacks and other anti-Soviet formations. In fact, lot of Russian émigrés remained neutral and continued to live in the West after the war .

@mattmoloch1212 Currently, there are no other figures except Imperial before WW1 and Soviet. Population did decline during WW1 and Civil War, but not so badly compared to WW2. Holodomor figures are subject of the debate, as are the figures of other starvations. No doubt it was a great tragedy, with millions dying (directly or indirectly) . Yet, compared to WW2 it is much less. What you failed to grasp is that Germans did not come to liberate Soviet people from communist yoke. They have come simply to eradicate and enslave. And this is what they did . For the survivors anyone fighting for the Germans was simply a traitor. Tough luck.
1
@mattmoloch1212 Well, let me put it like this. If you were some Russian peasant, under the communists you could still hope to climb Party or Army ladders and become a general (like let´s say Vasily Chuikov) . Under the Germans that same peasant would be happy if he was left alive in his village. That does not mean that communist were any good (they were not), but at least they did not attempt to eradicate whole population. Even if you put victims of the communists at 10 million (high number) , this is still less then official 27 million (unofficially much more) in WW2 in only 4 years. Same goes for Warsaw pact countries. Soviets were bad, but did not try to eradicate let's say Poles. In fact, Poland was a country under Soviets, had its own government, language, army etc... Under the Germans, all of that did not exist and in fact millions of Poles died. Over all, those that choose to fight for the German selected GRATER EVIL and they were punished for that.
1
@mattmoloch1212 Poor analogy. It was more like country ruled by ISIS and then invaded by aliens who want to eradicate all humans. Whom would you choose ?
1
@mattmoloch1212 Well, nope. Anyway, tired of arguing with you. What matters is that Soviet people overwhelmingly choose Stalin over Hitler, and this is the primary reason Germany lost war. Has it been "all equal" as you say, Germans would have much larger support and a good chance to win, or at least survive the war . In the minds of Russian people there is no equation between Stalin and Hitler, no matter what West thinks about it, and it will never be.
1
@mattmoloch1212 You are either stupid or delusional . No, communism did not kill more people than National-Socialism in USSR . Especially not in a such a short time. Like it or not, it is a fact. In some places like China and Cambodia I could agree with you, but we are talking about USSR and choices that people in USSR had during the war.
1
@mattmoloch1212 As I said, you are deluding yourself and are not intelligent enough to accept when you are wrong. Anyway, like it or not, Germans were much worse for Soviet population than Soviet authorities (including Stalin) , and that is why Soviet population sided with Stalin, not with the Germans. If you cannot comprehend that, well, I'm sorry , enjoy your dream world while you can.

@philipliethen519 Those being repatriated were in German uniforms . What do you think how did they got them :D TIK even admits that, so he tries another line of defense, i.e. they were forced to wear them etc ... In reality, out of all Soviet POWs only tiny minority joined various such formations. Majority, even if not communist, understood what Germans plan to do with Soviet people, especially Slavs. Therefore, those who joined Germans are even now considered as traitors. It is not ideological, it is deeply a question of survival.
1
@philipliethen519 Do you know who was general Vlasov ? Or who was Helmuth von Pannwitz and his Cossacks ? Do you know what a Hiwi is ? 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS ? Well, these are the men extradited to Soviets.
1
@philipliethen519 Because you lack basic knowledge about collaborationist formations from USSR in WW2. Therefore, you do not understand neither what I'm talking about or what is TIK talking about. Therefore, first use Internet to educate yourself about basics, then we will talk about this video.
1
@philipliethen519 You continue to have low knowledge on the topic, and that is not an assumption, it is a sad fact. As I said, do your homework if you want to discuss this topic.

@jwrosenbury Yes, they were certainly enemy combatants. And more of that, as Soviet citizens they were illegal enemy combatants (i.e. they were not fighting for their own state) . Let me remind you what happened to Lord Haw-Haw (William Joyce) and he was not even a combatant . Legally speaking, they were under jurisdiction of Soviet Union.
1
@jwrosenbury Not necessarily . US still has death penalty. Also, these people did not have status of POW. Even German troops in US and UK custody were not granted title of POW because Allies could not fulfill terms of Geneva conventions. Instead they were "Disarmed Enemy Forces" and lot of them dies in camps like Rhine meadows. Americans in general did not trust Stalin and communists, but had fondness for ordinary Russians (Soviets) because they endured worst of the war. Conversely, there was little pity for Germans or their allies for at least some time. Even in US many people lost their relatives and friends fighting against Germans.

@third5944 No, he would probably refer to some woke BLM member :D :D
