So, you can do this by just grabbing a font that supports Cyrillic (there's a bunch available via a swift google, or check out the Il2 Great Skinner's Discord channel for loads of super helpful skinning resources.

 

Then I'd stick your phrase into google translate - For Stalin! comes out as За Сталина!

 

You can then just copy & paste that into the text addition tool of your preferred skin editing software, and Bob's yer mothers brother.

 

I then generally check these with a glamourous Russian friend of mine, but that's more because she's very attractive. A rough translation should be good enough for you apes!

[Na-zdorovie]

oh now your taking the mick lol

[ronick]

instead of that pretty pathetic factory painted cult of personality derived "За Сталина"  i would use  "За Родину!"

or other historical like

Бей фашистов!  [bey fashistov] kill fascists!

Смерть фашистам! [smert fashistam]  death to fascists!

Беспощадный  [besposhyadniy] ruthless

Смелый  [smeliy] fearless

Боевая подруга [boyevaya podruga] combat girlfriend

На Берлин [na berlin] to Berlin

Мститель [mstitel] avenger

 

 

на здоровье! [na zdorovie] do not mention it?

[Na-zdorovie]

@ronick, i got that pretty pathetic quote from the said documentary on tv last night, it was at Kursk, then at Prokhorovk

@Eeafanas, thanks for the links and pics

Put " Fuer Stalin und Vaterland on your T34 and see what happens?

[Frinik22]

Saying that life improved under Stalin is like praising Hitler for solving unemployment in Germany and building autobahn( They were actually started by the Weimar Republic).  The same Stalin who was responsible for the starvation deaths of millions of Ukrainians in the Soviet-made famine of the Holodomor? The same one who started mass and forced collectivization of Soviet agriculture leading to perpetual shortages of staple food and under average crops for the duration of Soviet rule turning the famous Russian breadbasket into the number one importer of wheat from the US, Canada and Argentina? His forced industrialisation resulted in massive pollution of rivers, destruction of the environment and the massive use of slave labour from the Gulags to build many of the steel and cement plants, dam , power plants etc . An estimated 23 million people passed through his gulags during his infamous 24 years dictatorship. Benevolent Stalin indeed. The reason the USSR collapsed economically in 1990 can be traced back to his disastrous economic policies which he created and his successors held on to the bitter end with the exception of Gorbachev who tried belatedly to change course.

 

Hitler crashed course his Reich into a war it could not win. Stalin simply ensured his legacy was not sustainable.
