Sine tomorrow is 9th of May, celebrated as "Victory Day" in Russia, here are a few reminders:
- USSR was happily allied with 3rd Reich until 1941. Soviet troops invaded Poland together with the Nazis in 1939 and committed countless war crimes and other atrocities together with Nazi soldiers as well as under their own initiative. It's critically important to remember that before the "Great Patriotic War" started according to Russian propaganda, USSR was happily and willingly on the side of "the baddies" and if not for the Hitler's betrayal, they'd probably stay that way unti lthe bitter end.
- Victory against the 3rd Reich was achieved by all the Allies and Soviet Union received enormous material and logistical help from Allies to achieve the success it did. Russia only paid the Lend-Lease back in 21st century and it was very far from the value of original aid given. At no point during WW2 it was USSR vs 3rd Reich alone.
- Soviet troops "liberating" Nazi-occupied territories in Eastern and Central Europe committed countless crimes and were widely recognized as bandits, rapists, thieves and murderers themselves, not much better than fleeing Nazi soldier. Often even worse. That's the legacy they left behind, not one of glorious heroes that everyone welcomed.

@meph
You're indeed not defending the USSR, you just trying to be funny.
Funny about a Russia towards a Pole.
Funny about threat of like 12th attack in less time America exist.
Funny about the Polish allies being left by the American just to be occupied by Russia.Also the USSR is not a thing it is and always was Russia.
P.S. Thanks to the free Polish and Canadian forces for not skipping us in ww2 like the Americans did.
