Tears of the veteran by Dmitrybulletdodger

Don't cry, Old Hero...
You're did very good job...
Thanks for the Great Victory'

A very powerful photo, very impressive, though simple one. I am so glad that people from other countries remember and understand what actually the soviet soldiers did for everyone during the WWII.

wow

I just want to give him a hug >_<
Great picture!

I wish I could tell him thank you myself!

Very moving!

I felt this one.. the emotions

Very, very moving. We owe the Soviet soldier of WWII more than we know. They bought the time needed to amass material and sufficiently strong Allied armies with blood. Though I had to stand ready to fight them decades later, their sacrifice will never be forgotten by me.

Made me cry. Great pic, comrade!

This is beautiful.

Великолепно! Восхитительно! Самое лучшее, что я когда-либо видела!!!!
Просматривая ЭТО, среди прочих фото на ДевианАрт, я еще раз убедилась как глубока русская душа! Работы американцев, меркнут и выглядят нелепо по сравнению с ЭТИМ!

It make me cry, what a Hero..

He has the right to cry

Such emotion in this, it's incredible what he must have been through to fight for everyone's honor and freedom.

This made me cry... He did well... He did well.

wow very emotional :<

This seriously makes me want to cry. His expression just tears me down

This is absolutely powerful.
I have a huge respect for the men and women in any country who dedicate their time and future into fighting for and protecting their country and people. Very emotional, very noble.

this is verry powerfull . altough i am studying communism , i jsut have great respect for the soldiers of the red army . the fought the hardest of all army's . and all we say about them is that they were barbaric and retared . i alway's say , if there was not red army , you all were german's .
i thank you for this amazing piece of art

This is just...so soul shaking...it made me cry when I saw it, and I don't consider myself an overly emotional person, this is just so...beautiful and incredible...

Wow. So inspiring and great to see a soldier of WWII to cry over joy and happiness to know that everyone thanks him for his deeds and commitment. May God give him a place of sanctity next to his throne, for he is not a regular soldier, but a soldier of God's in his eyes.

Такая фотография как я редко видела, простая и очень глубокая в одное время. Нет слов просто.

That is a beautiful. I don't think there is anything that can describe this photo other than I not only see his emotion, but I can almost feel it.

Amount of emotion here is absolutely amazing.

this photo is very moving...wow.....

wow...This made me cry

This is incredibly moving !!! Such feelings are conveyed by the majestic, and at the same time fragile, face.
This man is being so amazingly human. This is really, really wonderful ! Congratulations !

Amazing shot! May I ask which monument you visited?

Incredible, powerful photo. Excellent work!

Aw! This made me cry...

This made me cry. A BEAUTIFUL picture. Just... wow.
Thank you for posting this.

очень чувственно. "...праздник, с сединою на висках, победа со слезами на глазах"

я всегда плачу,когда вспоминаю ,9 мая..все лица.. ветеранов ..

it moved my heart to tears...

Сильная фотография... спасибо им за будущее в котором есть мы

This is so powerful. Thank you for sharing this.

Remember the Fallen!

My entire family fought the goddamn Nazis and three quarters of them died. I lost five great uncles and a great aunt to the bastards. And my grandfather died after falling down the stairs because the fucking Russian government didn't hand him his painkiller meds. And he was a field doctor who spent two years in the swamps of Manchuria waiting for the Japs AFTER scraping his name in the Reichstag. So, these men do not cry from joy. They cry from desperation. Living heroes are never wanted. They are better off dead to the governments that sent them to the razor's edge of life and death. Because that way - they cannot demand anything. May my motherland, Russia, washed with the blood of my family, BE CURSED to the pits of hell, for I will piss on the burned flag that shall lie on its grave. And not for myself, whom the country has damned to desperately penniless immigration, no. But for all those who have died for it in vain. May Russia disappear so it can no longer destroy its own people.

man, seriously when i saw this photo it dove deep in my heart. this is amazing!!!

There are no words that could adequately describe the power of this image.
Makes me cry.

oh god, this is heart touching

Glory to fallen ones, and their comrades who live to tell the tale! СЛАВА!

Amazing work, comrade. Ура!

this is a beautiful picture... it expresses so much emotion :')
thank you veterans <3

I just stumbled across this photo, and it immediately took my breath away. I am in tears at this capture of human spirit and emotion. What a truly magnificent photograph, it speaks to my soul. Bravo, and thank you.

If he fought for freedom, I guess he served in Russia then?

За нашу Родину! И будем надеяться, что нам и нашим соотечественникам не придётся испытать исчо раз этот ужас. Очень печальная фотография. Я плакал когда начинал думать о той страшной войне. Я думал о моем дедушке, Эдмунде, который убивал русских во имя идеи которую ему вдалбливали высокие шишки в штабах и казармах. Но потом я задумался о моей бабушке, Анастасий, которая была русской. Позже они поженились и по меркам их и моих родителей это было просто безумием. Но да, они любили друг друга. Мой дед осознаёт по сей день о своих злодеяниях. Но позже, после войны, он подружился с несколько товарищами, но то, что было странно, это были русские. И они приняли моего деда, таким каким он являлся по сути, человеком, а не чудовищем.
