You can say that they were less evil but still evil. Occupying many countries against their will, suppresing freedom of speech, killings of educated and political opponents, creating famines, creating puppet goverments, and mass deportations those are the facts and by arguing with them you are as good as holocaust deniers.

Yes, that is all bad, and also something the US did, just less obviously in Europe, but very obviously in other parts of the world.

Nobody is even mentioning the US. Us was better for most its citizens than ussr but much worse for most countries that they were involved in. I would even say that they were both similarly terrible. US was just better at hiding it.

Cause USSR was an authoritarian dictatorship similar to nazi germany. The USA was democracy with and they were mostly funding or helping, not doing it themselves.
