Idk even with current bullshit I wouldn't be belittling the Soviet efforts and sacrifices in breaking Nazi Germany's back.
Just a little counter-trolling for the Russian narrative of "WE ALONE DEFEATED THE NAZIS"
That's alright
Well if they didn’t start the WW2 together with their German friends then maybe
I'd say the blame on that one is squarely on Nazi Germany alone. Soviet Union opportunistically took part in dividing Eastern Europe, which is despicable but not the same thing imo.
Yeah the Russians have never forgiven the west for letting them take the casualties.
I'd imagine that sort of thing leaves a massive multigenerational trauma and resentment. Then again USSR was just happy letting Nazi Germany try to stomp the Western Allies.
But the west forgave Russia for signing molotov-ribbentrop?
There was a time, before 2022 where the west was open to their perspective.
Now, get fucked Ivan.
Sometimes I love that Eternity glitches images.
I know it's a meme, but idk, yeah, I would expect the capital of the "empire" where all the commanders and nazi leadership that were still breathing at the time were holed up to be a little harder to take than literally any other city in the country at the time, however important they were to the war effort.
