>The Russians, and the people of the USSR, like all the allied forces, died heroically in the battlefield fighting fascists.
You mean before they were fighting alongside the facsists. I mean that sounds great and heroic if you completely ignore the fact that Russia and Germany were allies and co-invaded Eastern Europe, thus starting the European front war.
But I will agree with you, Russia probably did the most to turn the tide of the war, but they really didn't have a choice. Hitler turned on them and they were fortunate to be included in the allied forces rather than defending their motherland against everybody. Patton wanted to drive into Russia after Germany and we were the only nuclear power in the world.
I mean in WWI, they abandoned the allied war effort before they slaughtered the Romanov's and in WW2 they started on the axis side. In between the government starved millions of people. What were you saying about anti-communist propaganda? Sounds like they don't need any help in that regard.
>Calling them a "meat wall" really fucking grinds my gears as it's extremely insulting and derogatory to the dead.
Give me a break, I'm sure Poland really weeps for them. Read about what the Soviets did when entering Germany (not that Germany was any better invading Russia).
