      “Saved” implies the change of situation to something better. The soviets killed, plundered, tortured, sent people off to death camps too. That’s why people here will say that russians can stick their liberation up their arse - they weren’t saviors, they started the war alongside nazi germany.

        Yes? The Nazis operated most of their Holocaust-camps in eastern Europe. The Nazis systematically executed also non Jewish Civilians in Poland, Ukraine, Belarus… to make their “Lebensraum” reality.

        Doesn’t make Stalin good, but suggesting the UDSSR to have been equal to the Nazis is simply wrong.

          The soviets regilarly executed civilians, “intelligentsia”, officers and sent civilians over to die in Siberia.

          Yes, the soviets were just as bad as nazis to the countries they occupied.

        Poles literally admitting being occupied by the Red Army to be the smaller evil…

          No, they weren’t. Read up on Katyn - soviets executing 22000 Poles in 1940. A year and a half before nazis invaded the soviets. It is a war crime that Russia admitted in 1990. And it is one of many, too many to count. Not that it would convince someone like you.
