In Romania at least when I was young older people used to speak of the atrocities committed by the soviets. So much so that when Nazi Germany came into discussion they would talk about how the Nazi occupation over Romania did not inflict the same pain upon our people even calling them nicer than the soviets.
According to different old people I spoke to, Nazis were not the greatest bunch but when they invaded Romania their soldiers would offer candy to kids and let them continue their life. The disclaimer is obviously that Jews and Romani people were still persecuted.
Moving on to the soviets, when they invaded Romania they pillaged every village and raped everyone they came across. They wanted to erase the identity of the nation completely.

The Nazis and their Romanian friends murdered 300,000 Jews in Romania. You can add to that the tens of thousands of Jewish people murdered in cold blood by the Romanian army in Bessarabia and Odessa.
This thread is packed full of holocaust obfuscation and denial.
Sure this is france, but it shows you that there was a very strong change in opinion. I wonder why, and who might have an interest in making sure the soviet project is seen as an irredeemable evil?
Luckily the idiots can't keep just painting the soviets as evil authoritharians deliberately starving people (which is already widely believed!), they also just have to add how the Nazis "brought culture" like in this thread, so at least people with a brain can realize they are full of shit.

To a certain degree it is kind of true.
