Wikipedia has some good info aboutSoviet Snipers
THE sniper: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simo_H%C3%A4yh%C3%A4
I have also got the impression that WWII mostly humiliated the Soviet Union, due to the “limited victory” against Finland. But then again, it was all Stalin’s fault.
Vasily Zaitsev is another famous one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasily_Zaitsev
Maska. Do you recon that the “limited victory” should have been “full victory” and that Finland should have been “liberated” as well, like baltics and eastern-europe did???
No. I was making trying to make a point. Like, you see, do you celebrate your (another quoted) “victory” of Vietnam war in the United States?
The U.S. didn’t win as we all know. but it was never abount really winning. If we wanted to win we would have. but we had a lowsey president who quit before his 2nd term and our polotitions lost it for us. The soldiers did Great in the war and out gunned them in most battles. but we did not win. it was all about containment and not conquering N. Vietnam. And all the protestors and hippies and bastards over here just made it worse. But we didn’t win, but i dont look at it as a loss for the U.S. either.
omg?!?! There are people with mongoloid features in the photos!!!
those are people from far east russia and siberia. They are born sniperes
they start hunting since they start walk.
they should have entitled it “Soviet Snipers” instead of “Russian Snipers”. . . or perhaps “Red Army Snipers.”
but whatever. we’re all gonna die.
There are many mongoloid nations in Russia (in indigenous population). That’s a pity you didn’t know that.
I knew that…idiota! I was being racist like your average Russian or nazis who believe ALL of Russians are whites. But than again you said these people were of different nationalities. Meaning you don’t consider them Russian yourself and you are a russian. Which goes to show how racist and unprogressive the Russians are.
I still can’t get it. Where did you get the crap about the Russians that are being racist? What the hell are you talking about? You spread nonsense. And I don’t see any logic in your statement.
They ARE Russians. Regardless of what features they might have. Tell me. Would you consider yourself another nationality after living under Russian rule for over three hundred years? I am not saying you don’t believe that they are not Russian. But there are some Russians who would consider them not. That is it. I don’t see why you can’t understand that.
Look, they are not Russians. Their ethnos is different. Simple as that.
Jews are always Jews. Russians are always Russians. Tatars are Tatars and so on.
Ethnicity might be different. I will give you that. But what about a Venezuelan living in Moscow. third generation. What would you call him?
Jews in russia - are russian Jews. Chechens in russia - are russians chechens, etc, etc.
Din’t you know that russia is a multicultural socity?
Always has been, always will be!!
I did but many Russians have forgotten that.
No. You are just out of the picture. The Russian concept of “nationality” differs from that of English. It has nothing to do with citizenship. It’s about ethnicity. In short - this word (e.g.”nationality”) is present in both Russian and English languages but its meaning is not the same. I hope I’ve explained it.
Nice pictures. Russian soldiers were real heroes, while Americans were enjoying baseball games and waiting for the right time to land in Normandy.
a war makes no heroes! only victims
nevertheless both, usa and russia could have been defeated by germany, and that should make both thinking…….
No, neither Russia or the USA could have been defeated in WWII. This is because of a simple fact: Germany lost. Once an event has passed, you can’t assign a probability that the event will occur or not.
what you talk for shit ?!
*sigh*, yes, let’s beat up on the Americans now, with their baseball, and rock-n-roll, and blue jeans. Nobody but stupid Americans like baseball and rock-n-roll and blue jeans.
Don’t fool yourself into believing the Soviets could have defeated Hitler all by themselves. Also, the US was fighting a war on two fronts– if not for the American victory in the Pacific, Japan would have taken all of Siberia.
I will not post any more about this, it is foolish. Maybe you want to fight the war all over again.
The Japanese like baseball. Russians where jeans (ugly jeans), and rock-n-roll well just about everyone. I’m sorry that you live in a country that has only a small amount of good taste.
your comment is correct, I DO live in a country with only a small amount of good taste, I live in the USA!!
as Nelson Muntz would say “HA ha!”
(clearly the first part of my comment above was sarcastic.)
You should get out of your trailer park more and see the city. You should also pick up a book on cultures and trends. That might help improve the accuracy of your posts.
Shut up Kim.
Yes, he should have said ’stupid people’ instead of ’stupid Americans’.
If Japans wanted to attack Siberia they would do it in 1941. In fact, it would be better to Japan than attacking USA, UK, France on Pacific area. And it would be very big problems to USSR when Japan (as III Reich ally) attacked USSR in 1941.
Just investigation information in late of 1942, that Japan didn’t want to attack USSR, made that Stalin call down Siberian Armies to Stalingrad and it was the end of German successes on the East.
USSR did ‘thank’ Japan for non-agression behavior in 1941. After A bomb explosion in Hieroshima when Japans started to think abot capitulation, USSR declared the war with Japan.
Since we’re glorifying Russian soldiers again, I’d just like seize the opportunity to remind you of the Winter War. For all our Russian comrades, I give you a Russian Winter War documentary (no English subtitles): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WipJrWm1Qk
O yes because singling out any group of soldiers in that war as “Heroes” and excluding another country makes total sense…dumbass. And I think its funny you make that comment, seeing as America was in constant combat with Germany starting in 42′. Don’t forget the United States was fighting in Italy against both Germany and Italy way before D-day, as well as in North Africa along side the British. The Heroes are any man that died for his country doing nothing more that protecting their homeland..those are the true heroes.
And just for the record, Russia had a non-aggression pact with Germany before Hitler Bitch-Slapped Stalin…so its hard to say all Russian soldiers were Heroes like they were “trying to stop evil” or something. The soviets committed 10x the atrocities in the life span of the CCCP-USSR than the Third Reich ever did (not saying that they wouldn’t have though).
cool pics.
Всех с Праздником Победы!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In fact, Victory Fete is 8th May not 9th (capitulation of III Reich was 7th May 1945).
Only the Stalin’s need to single out from west Alliants made that he directed to sing new act of german capitulation in 9th May 1945 (the first act was signed one day earlier).
Did you know that soviet army used very special methods in sniper training during winter war…take one mongol peasant, give him sniper rifle, if he lives tomorrow then send him to training…=)
Germans used unconventional methods, too.
In Finnland they chained Finnish snipers to the rock, in order to prevent any retreat of finnish soldier ally in 1944-1945.
Dear Darek from Poland.
You really saved my day. That was the best I’ve read from these pages from long long time…. snipers chained to THE rock…
laughed my ass off
BTW. Regarding to the first pic; we were trained to always keep both eyes open, an obvious reason for anyone involved in sharpshooting. I used TAK-85 7.62x 53R mounted with Zeiss scope.
Dear Ari,
I admit that the only source (I nearly never claim antything when I have only one source of information) of the described German ‘ingeniousness’ was a Russian film which I saw few months ago.
The film was really good - I don’t know how true it was.
I’ve known from historical materials so many manifestations of German ‘ingeniousness’ during WWII that the chaining ally to the rock wasn’t for me ‘nothing special’ (rather little ‘funny’ than cruel). If it has any confirmation in historical materials so I appologize for fake propagation.
Ari, I think you should investigate to find answer on question: ‘was such accidents true or not’.
I’ve finded that the film which described such events was: “Cuckoo” (2002).
Starring: Anni-Kristiina Juuso, Ville Haapasalo Director: Aleksandr Rogozhkin
Anni-Kristiina Juuso, it’s rather Finn woman’s name, isn’t it ?
“Synopsis
As Finland’s withdrawal from World War II draws ever closer, a tentative relationship between an abandoned Finnish soldier, a Lapp woman, and a Russian captain accused of anti-Soviet correspondence offers momentary solace to a trio of lost souls. Dressed in a German uniform and tied to a rock after being branded a pacifist by his fellow soldiers, Finnish sniper Veiko (Ville Haapasalo) attempts to break free before being spotted by Russian soldiers and shot. Peering through the scope on his rifle after finally escaping, Veiko bears witness to the accidental bombing of a Russian envoy carrying a captain accused of collaborating with the enemy. As Anni (Anni-Christina Juuso), a Laplander whose husband is off to war, scavenges for food, she runs across the bombing and finds disgraced soldier Ivan (Viktor Bychkov) clinging to life. Bringing him back to her house to nurse him to health, Anni is shocked when Veiko arrives in search of tools to remove his shackles. As language barriers keep the threesome from effectively communicating, Ivan’s suspicions that Veiko is actually a German soldier begin to mount. Veiko and Anni’s bond begins to grow, and as the lonely widow seduces Veiko, Ivan’s jealousy and suspicions culminate in an attempt to murder the hapless Finnish sniper. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide”
P.S. Did I understand well ? You did fight as sniper ? When, during WWII ? What did you want to write ? It looks ridiculous.
The film not a document and should not be regarded as such.
SHIT WHAT KIND IDIOTS!
nEVER HAPPAENED THAT KIND IN OUR FINNISH ARMY. SHAM ON YOU POLISH GUY…
Te first, top photo is of a Soviet Naval Infantry sniper. A unique picture. I have not seen a photo of one of those before, although I know that they must have existed.
Now I know where they got inspiration for movie “Enemy at the gates”…
NOW THAT IS A CLASSIC PICTURE!!!
HERO PIC IF EVER THERE WAS ONE
The woman sniper, second to the bottom, is Lyudmila Mikhailovna Pavlichenko, a Ukrainian, and the USSR’s deadliest sniper, credited with 309 kills. There’s a long Wikipedia article about her.
Excuse me, I should have said “one of the USSR’s deadliest”
Simo Häyhä will snipe every single one of them. By only using iron sights.
hmm…Darek, i think that movie is purely fictional, and by the way term & method “kukusha” is just soviet propaganda. Finnish snipers didn’t use trees as a sniping post..=)
Белая Смерть
505 confirmed kills against Soviet soldiers.

meanwhile in sweden
This is a clip from a Finnish humor Tv program from 1990’s
Fuck the Russians, the bunch of communist fucks!
i like to see you say that to a russians face, bet u will get ur ass raped.
Fuck the Russian bastards, there all a bunch of communist fucks. They got there ass raped in WWII because there army was large, but spread apart and hard to mobilize. They werent up to the quick slash and burn modern warfare that was underway. So they got beat down, which in my oppinion… The communist bastards prolly enjoyed the rape anyways!
you bastard, everybody in WWII got fuck, italy,ussr,US,france, and we all know japan and germany got super fuck and many other place.
Да, что ты понимаешь. Если бы дело обстояло именно так, как ты говоришь не выиграли бы войны. Ты даже не представляешь,какой ценой она досталась эта победа. Всё для фронта, всё для победы. И шли, если потроны кончались, в рукопашную шли, за каждый клочок земли. Коммунистического, коммунистического, да что ты можешь сказать против, кроме лозунгов то. Ничего. И без раницы какое правительство, выиграли люди. И наши ветераны, до сих пор самым главным считают праздник 9мая.
Simo Häyhä Rules!!!!!
the best sniper ever.
he kill all these soldiers in 100 days.
others snipers need years to follow him.
Hey guys, the war is over. Stop being so shallow on both sides. Most of us are all anglo’s who’s anscestors migrated in a different direction. As if any of you had any choice in that or where you were born. The cold war was a by design, brought on by the international bankers to keep both sides in debt and bring us under their plan to merge the many different countries. i.e. - the European Union, African Union and soon to be Amero Union. Wake up and realize that by dividing us they can conquor. Simple Sun Tzu tactics. I would gladly suit up in my U.S. military uniform and fight side by side with my Russian brothers any day. They’re great soldiers with a proud history. As for when they were under a communist government, that’s just a name that we were taught to hate so they could keep us divided. We are basically a fascist government now. You think you have rights? They’re reading what you type and tapping your cell phone right now under the “patriot” act.
ur fat
Whatever. If you learn some Russian, you would understand that we have different meaning for word nationality - it’s not citizenship - it’s ethnicity. And there is nothing racist about it, it’s just how Russian language works, you moron.
i agree, WWII not fought by Russian [snipers].
but Soviet one’s.
OMG OMG OMG <3 i love you Mikhail Surkov!!! (WWII, 702 kills)
I love you Ivan Sidorenko (500 kills)!!!! My favorite soviet sniper gun is the SD dragunov…
Почитал некоторые сообщеня , и в очередной раз убедился, каквоспитываю ВАС, американцев и прочих, в ненависти к русским , вбивают вам в голову специальные шаблоны, скрывая от вас историю. Вы ведь даже не знаете ни-че-го. От этого наблюдать за вами смешно, но и грустно одновременно. Вы не мыслите, это плохо. Вас обрабатываю ещё жестче, чем нас при советской власти…
Остаётся пожелать вам прибавления разума и открытых глаз.
Ненависть ник чему хорошему вас не приведёт.
