This Is What Russia Really Looks Like: 30 Honest And Bizarre Photos By Aleksandr Petrosyan

I just really want to hug him even more now that I know why he's upset. D: (He also looks kind of like my dad.)

I'm Jewish & have his balloon tattooed. Heavy feels for this wonderful man.

Well, I doubt that he voluntarily brought a balloon and bouquet of flowers along with him, so maybe his emotions are influenced also by being touched by kindness. SEE WHAT ALL YOU NICE PEOPLE DO!!!

Thanks for the context Brian.

So sad, poor man, he must feel so alone :(

😥

Actually not quite correct @Brian It was taken at a Victory Parade on May 9, 2007, on the Nevsky Prospekt in St. Petersburg, Russia,” he revealed. He also explained why the veteran appears so upset in the photo and his hopes about tracking him down. “The veteran was upset that he was behind the column with other veterans and could not catch up with them,” he said. “Now I’m looking for this veteran. I hope that I will find him and find out his name.”

Fought other men's war

wait wait wait, you're telling me he's the last survivor, was told just before the parade, anD had to walk down the street for a bunch of people to see??? thats too heartbreaking :+(

You've swallowed a lie.

And you know who some of the biggest opposition to the claim of 6 million, and against the existence of Israel itself? Orthodox Jews.

unreproachable - currently committing a genocide in the name of justification for a genocide. You can't criticise them, and it is actually criminal to do so in some countries (here is a tendency for most who hear this reality to mix the average person who happens to be Jewish in with this reality and its use by Zionist leaders). Propaganda, much? They use this as cover. And they are among the most insane, immoral beings in the world, with nuclear power, a mandate to use it (the Samson Option), a strangle-hold on their region, and unusual favourism from the world's greatest powers. Explain to me how this is so.

6 million is half that population. Today the world population of Jewish people is around 16 million. The growth rate remained a constant no greater than 1%. Today it is portrayed as around 3%, but that includes non-Jewish people living in Jewish households. The fact distorts the reality. From 12 million, to 6 million (which is not reflected in historical documents, though modern sources still report this nonsensical figure), and back not to just 12 million but now to around 16 million (including non-Jewish people living in Jewish households) by 2013, roughly 70 years. The impossible logistics of incinerating 6 million bodies, the lack of evidence of the ash remains of 6 million human beings, and the fact that the claim of gas chambers has irrefutably been debunked by an expert witness aside, this assertion of 6 million dead is about as idiotic a claim that can be made. It is also documented how it came about, if you care to actually be informed. And they use this so as to be

The only reason we don't see the punishment of Allied war criminals is because they created the Hague and the international laws, and they included the explicit clause in the laws that they themselves could not be punished for war crimes. Meanwhile, Germanic people were slaughtered in the streets, such as in Danzig, and Churchill bombed German civilians, destroying entire cities. To carry on with the nonsense that there were good guys during all that savagery, and that Germany didn't have reason for their actions, is to be wilfully blind and an utter dupe of the despotic powers that rule through deceit, manipulation, coercion, and force still today. Here's another a math problem for you: a little in excess of 12 million jewish people alive around the world from 1917-1935. World almanac, and even the Jewish society of NYC recorded these figures. They dipped around 100-300 thousand by the end of 1945. But, here's where you get to prove it to yourself that 6 million is a ludicrous figure.

It was ruled by Stalin during. He and the rest of the allies committed just as much atrocity, committed millions to die in "concentration camps" (gulags), and the German people made their sacrifices also in order to protect themselves from an ever encroaching, aggressive and savage world. They all play an equal part in what happened. And all this because Germany got blamed for a war that was started by one guy killing a monarch. And because they sought to free themselves from the debt slavery imposed by the international economic system, which is still in place today, seeking a national gold-backed standard over the international standard. There are parallels in more recent times, such as Libya, Syria, and currently China - watch as the noose draws around their neck, and curse them for their response.

If I remember right, he's the last surviving member from his company or platoon.

Probably checking out what it was he stepped in.

and in fact he is looking at his shoe after stepping into a poop

No. He's really homeless and looking for discarded cigarette butts.

Nah, he looks like he's part of the chimney sweep chorus from Mary Poppins

No. He's really gay, high on meth and on his way to a Grindr meetup.

I don’t think he looks unhappy, he’s just not making a happy face for the picture.

Culturally, it is common in stoic Russia to consider people who smile too much (or for no apparent reason) idiots. As I understand, it is a recognition that life is mostly comprised of suffering, and to be smiling a lot implies that you are unaware of the constancy and pervasiveness of the suffering that is all around you.

Good idea just save to my photos and opened it in my jigsaw app

What a great idea!
