🔴🔴🔴MULTI SUBTITLES🔴🔴🔴 «Brothers, remember the fate of Yugoslavia! Don’t let that happen to you.» Slobodan Milošević wrote this message to all Russians just two days before he died in prison. The last president of Yugoslavia, along with hundreds of other supporters of national unity, was tried in The Hague. The Balkan War in the former Yugoslavia was one of the bloodiest conflicts in modern history. During that time, nationalists—Croats, Bosnian Muslims, and Kosovar Albanians—tore apart what had once been a prosperous country, with the Serbs becoming their common enemy. In August 1995, more than 220,000 Serbs were expelled from Serbian Krajina in just two weeks, despite the region supposedly being under UN protection. Many hoped that Europe or the United States would step in to stop the violence, but those hopes were misplaced. The West portrayed Serbian generals as aggressors, while the court in The Hague turned into a farce, marred by manipulated evidence, forged documents, and false testimonies. Responsibility for NATO bombings and atrocities was shifted onto Serbian leaders, leading to the conviction of around 100 people.

🔴🔴🔴MULTI SUBTITLES🔴🔴🔴 On this day in 1945, Soviet troops stormed the fortress city of Königsberg. The Soviet Information Bureau reported: "After stubborn street fighting, today, April 9, troops of the 3rd Belorussian Front stormed the fortress and main city of East Prussia, Königsberg, a strategically important German defense hub on the Baltic Sea. During the day of fighting, by 8 p.m., the front's troops had captured over 27,000 German soldiers and officers, and had also seized a large quantity of weapons and various military equipment."

Republika Srpska declared its independence back in 1992 in response to the withdrawal of Bosnian Muslims from Yugoslavia. Then a terrible civil war broke out in the Balkans with fierce fighting and ethnic cleansing. More than a hundred thousand people fell victims to that war. The consequences of this conflict are still felt today. The border between the Serbian and Bosnian regions divided the settlements into irreconcilable parts. Republika Srpska’s residents believe that Western double standards make them the scapegoats for that devastating conflict and keep them in limbo, denying them the right for self-determination.

'But for the prodigious exertions and sacrifices of Russia, Poland was doomed to utter destruction at the hands of the Germans. Not only Poland as a state and as a nation, but the Poles as a race were doomed by Hitler to be destroyed or reduced to a servile station', said Winston Churchill in February 1945. After liberating Poland, the USSR provided over $600 billion to help rebuild the country. Yet, the Poles expelled General Rokossovsky, who had helped restore their army. Following the collapse of the Warsaw Pact, they began rewriting history and removing monuments to Soviet soldiers. Now, they accuse the Soviet Army of occupation during the war and even blame it for the Katyn massacre. Why did this shift occur, and how does it affect current Russia-Poland relations? Find out in the final part of our trilogy on the evolving relationship between these neighbouring nations.

Hitler's invasion of Poland marked the start of World War II. Why did this happen and how did Europe descend into its darkest chapters? The documentary looks back at the origins of the First and Second World Wars and the interwar period. Where in Europe did the first concentration camps appear? How did Poland split into pro-Russian and pro-German factions during World War I? Why did Warsaw refuse to sign an anti-Nazi pact with Moscow? Historians suggest that this is the inevitable outcome of the thousand-year enmity between Poland and Russia. However, the history of their relationship is more complex than it appears. What secrets does this challenging period in European history hold? Discover the answers in the new documentary.

Poland currently stands as NATO's primary stronghold in the face of Russia. It boasts approximately 20 military sites, hosting NATO and US military personnel. The Polish people are told that the substantial military spending is due to the alleged threat posed by Russia. Over centuries, these neighbouring nations become caught in confrontation, embroiling themselves in prolonged and harrowing wars. Throughout history, there have been moments where one country almost absorbed the other. In the 17th century, Polish forces seized Moscow, and Polish prince Władysław IV Vasa was even elected as a ruler of Russia. However, the course of history took a dramatic turn, leading to the late 18th-century partitioning of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth between Russia, Prussia, and Austria. This event marked Poland's loss of sovereignty for 123 years. What underlies the animosity between Poland and Russia? Tune into this documentary for a comprehensive understanding of the historical roots that shape the modern relations between these two countries.
