"Backgound:
In January 1942, the Nazis published a 60-page booklet titled German Soldiers in the Soviet Union: Letters from the East. It consisted mostly of excerpts from letters from soldiers reporting on conditions they encountered. The letters, of course, were carefully selected, but soldiers had credibility, and the booklet surely had an impact.

Staff Sergeant Kurt Hummel, Military Post Number L 31 605 Lg Pa. Paris, to his local group

Northern Russia, 12 August 1941

Bolshevist conditions are indescribable. I had never imagined that such misery was possible. People here know nothing about electric lights, radio, newspapers and the like. One can't call what they live in houses. There are only shanties with rotten straw roofs. Huge neglected fields lay around. We haven't yet found even a small shop. This is what people call the Soviet paradise. I wish the few outsiders who still remain in Germany could be shipped here. There is misery wherever one looks. One has to see it to realize how beautiful Germany is."

Russia, 8 August 1941

Anyone who earlier had different opinions of the Soviet Union is quickly cured of them here. The poverty is terrible. Not even the farmers have anything to eat. They beg from us. There are lice and filth everywhere. One has to be careful one doesn't get them from the inhabitants.

These people don't know anything else. They sit in their huts and remove lice from each other. They don't mind if anyone watches. I've had my fill of this workers' paradise. We'll be glad to be out of here. In the past we saw pictures of malnourished children. They were not exaggerated. One can't believe it if one hasn't been here."

Mrsh, majmune... Skupio bih vas sve u neku pustinju u Inner Mongoliji i opalio 1MT airburst nad tintarama vam nenormalnim. Gangnam style.

Hate, mada su pisma nedvosmisleno govorila o strasnom stanju stvari u Rusiji, ti kao emigrant moras da prepoznas da se tu radi o jos jednom momentu iskazanom ovde: "There is misery wherever one looks. One has to see it to realize how beautiful Germany is."

Idi u bilo koji emigrantski klub i dobices istu pricu kako je USA mizerna gde god da pogledas i da "One has to see it to realize how beautiful Serbia/France/China/Croatia/Poland/India/Germany/Whatever is"

Rusija, koliko god da je bedna i siromasna i koliko god da prosecan Rus strasno bedno i tesko zivi, ima snaznu elitu na uglavnom svim poljima. Intelektualnom, naucnom, umetnickom, estradnom i svugde drugde.
Za razliku od mnogih drugih siromasnih zemalja, ukljucujuci i Srbiju.

@Viloticka: huh, what? Meni ni tzv. Srbija nije bila preterano bedna (imam mamu sa stanovima...) no mi se popela da prostis. Sta mene briga za sirotinju i mizeriju sveta? Al' ozbiljno. I take it as-is. I can't help it all that much.

[Ivan_D]

Ah, prosecan Srbin zivi mnoooooogo bolje nego prosecan Rus. To ne moze da se poredi.
