You ...I would like to point out a couple of things. You keep refering to the soldiers as Russian, when in fact they were Soviet - the Soviet army was made up of numerous different nationalities. Also it consisted of literally evey Soviet male citizen, and even some female, who was of a suitable age and health. So there were the civilized and the uncivilized, the educated and those that could barely write and read, the peasants, the teachers, the factory workers, the artists, the doctors, the communists and those that hated communism, the atheists and the priests, the criminals and the honest people. It is deeply regretable that some of them committed those atrocities, but it wasn't all of the Soviet soldiers who took part in the looting and the rapes. Unfortunately, the actions of some seem to have stained every soldier's name and that is a painful truth. As for those photos, that soldier might be a professional musician for all we know, or just an educated person who appreciated music, maybe he learned to play the piano as a child, so he could actually know who Beethoven is. He could've actually been civilized, and not just pretending to be.Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00189462014626012985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-950176168566723147.post-89314918122662431002012-05-28T17:46:27.269-07:002012-05-28T17:46:27.269-07:00One of the pictures was made in Budapest, Hungary,...One of the pictures was made in Budapest, Hungary, and not in Austria.

A land which has given great writers like Gorky, Tolstoy; musicians like Tchaikovsky and film directors like Tarkovsky can hardly be called uncivilised.<br /><br />The aim of the caption was to say that the picture seems stage-managed (not unlikely considering that the Soviet state was a master at propoganda.)Editorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04412254840369910480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-950176168566723147.post-49890033405040486212010-06-26T22:39:41.932-07:002010-06-26T22:39:41.932-07:00I agree completely.

Though there will be an underlying hatred by for each other by some in that generation of people, the Russians were people too, and were fighting for their lives, and their country. That doesn't mean they were all evil people. If you, as an archivist of photos, are going to post photos in this context, either make an educated statement, or leave the picture itself to tell the story.Erethishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10320972183029627324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-950176168566723147.post-48101135709691383312010-05-30T05:12:23.146-07:002010-05-30T05:12:23.146-07:00comments for some photos on this particular page a...comments for some photos on this particular page are really stupid and mean.
