Roger Waters made a surprising statement about Russia.
The former frontman of the legendary rock band Pink Floyd thanked the country for its contribution to the fight against the Nazis.
RT wrote about this on its Telegram channel.
The musician thanked the Russians for the contribution they made during World War II.
He noted that it was not the Normandy landings that brought peace to all countries, but the heroic efforts of the USSR army on the Eastern Front.
We thank you, the people of Russia,” Waters emphasized.
The former leader of Pink Floyd noted that victory in World War II would have been impossible without the enormous sacrifice made by the Russians.
The price of victory was enormous: 22 million lives: that is how many Russian citizens died during the military conflict.
At the same time, the total human losses of the USSR are estimated even higher. In total, about 26.6 million people died, of which a third gave their lives at the front and 7.42 million people were deliberately exterminated by the Nazis.
