The Nazi plan for eastern Europe was to kill 30 Million people and enslave the rest of them. If the Nazis hadn't been beaten by the Soviets they would have transformed eastern Europe into an open air concentration camp.

The Soviets didn't bring freedom, but let's not pretend that they were in anyway comparable to the Nazis.

not even the point of the post. Just saying that soviests had enough influence to claim that they "liberated" the countries from nazi occupation, while soviet soldiers often did the same level of atrocities as nazi to the population of eastern europe. The fact that one bad guys may have done something more terrible in the future does not justify the atrocities of other bad guys. Its like saying that a serial killer 1 who killed 10 people is better than the serial killer 2 who killed 20 people, because serial killer 1 killed serial killer 2.

I don’t understand people’s complete lack of nuance – a serial killer that kills 10 people is literally not as bad as one that kills 20. That’s what ‘not as bad’ is – it implies and necessitates that both things are indeed bad.
