If anything, the Russians got off easy in WWII. They deserved far, far worse merely for helping Nazi Germany, let alone every other evil they perpetrated before the war, during the war and after the war.
It's to our eternal shame that we were allies with the most evil and bestial regime in the entire 20th century.
Rather than siding with one abomination over the other, we should have simply allowed Hitler and Stalin to wipe each other off the map.

Hard to believe that I'd ever find anything to agree with in your posts, but I almost agree with this one. The other night, TCM was playing "Mission to Moscow", a 1943 Warner Brothers piece of garbage propaganda film that extolled our "virtuous allies" and backpedalled the horrendous record of Stalin's criminal regime. The movie got a critical lookover during the 1950's because of its pro-communist lies, distortions and evasions. This resurrected the issues for me and I went reading about the Hitler-Stalin Pact. The whole thing is nauseating beyond belief and inspired the murders of brave Poles in Katyn Forest, the invasion of Finland and the Baltic states, and wholesale murder and torture of tens of thousads. Outrageously evil. But really, such massive evil has become inconsequential trivia today, footnotes, and not one in a hundred college graduates in the US today could say more than one sentence about it.
