Well current government of russian federation is trying to whitewash the facts and alter history history as always. I mean they even have their own name for the war - The “great patriotic war” to hide the fact they’ve been allies with Hitler between 1939 and 1941, so I think it’s quite important to remind them of that. Just look at r/pikabu dweebs downvoting away at a simple historical truth.
And
There are documented instances of soviet squads dressed as Ukrainian freedom fighters during WWII committing warcrimes against civilian population, Poles and Jews to rob them of support from the populace. Good thing about these kind of affairs is that if they get captured they don't get the benefits of Geneva convention.
Please replace the relatively sane soldiers with these guys

I forgot people actually believed shit like this
Not only do people believe it, thinking the Molotov Ribbentrop pact was an alliance is the most common take on it I've seen from people I know in meatspace.
The only people that know what it is who are anticommunists. The rest don't have a clue.
In my experience, they couldn't tell you the name of the pact or anything about it if you asked them, but the "USSR and nazis teamed up" talking point is still there.
Liberals of all kinds, even those who are not well-read, believe that Nazism and communism are the same.
Especially those who aren't well-read.
I love this quote. What’s even worse though is being technically literate but still so fervently anti-communist that you refuse to even look at Marxist texts. Or, if you do look at them, they just look like gibberish. This is what happened to me when I attempted to read The Communist Manifesto and Capital as a liberal teenager. I got nowhere.
Ehh you usually do, the much better arguments are:
- A ton of other countries had non-aggression pacts with the Nazis
- The Soviets signed theirs after Britain and France shot down an anti-Nazi pact (which would be an example of a pact between allies)
- Your allies don't launch a genocidal invasion of you
Not to
The Soviets and Britain + France were not actual political allies, only really allies in that they eventually fought the same country for a very brief period of time. In the case of France they were never at war with the Nazis simultaneously as the Soviets
Always ask them if they know what is a Czechoslovakia, what happened to it in 1938 and who were the people shaking hands nodding in agreement and then finally happily cheering after it happened.
idk what meatspace is, am i blessed for my ignorance here?
cutesy internet terminology for "in real life" a play on "cyberspace"

They even use it to say that the Nazis were socialist, actually
Meanwhile Ukrainian Father of the Nation was not only allied to the Nazis, he helped them with the Holocaust and got sent to a concentration camp as a reward.
...Where he got personal slaves and preferental treatment. The he got let out, ordered some massacres, ran to germany, hid in Munich and got a case of Karma in the face.
