      As did everyone. There’s no study showing that the amount of rapes per soldier by the soviets is higher than that of other nations.

        Oh fuuuuck of. There are books based on actual KGB archives that were opened up. Rape of Berlin is well described. There are books about the actual bordelos attached to armies. Western armies. Soviet officers had army wives. Apparently they still do.

        There are countless accounts of people prefering Nazi soldiers to soviets. It is THE reason central and easter Europe hates russia.

        No data on rapes my ass. But pleeenty of data that soviets single handedly saved the world from Nazis.

        Get a grasp.

          Wow, so the released KGB archives show the tapes. I wonder what would happen if the Americans or the English did that too!

          Hatred of Russians by eastern Europeans is due to 30+ years of anti-communist propaganda. The fact that poles hate the USSR which liberated more than the very Nazis who genocided millions of them, shows this. And it wasn’t the case 40 years ago.

          Polls in France after WW2 showed 70%+ of people saying it was the USSR who saved them from Nazism. Nowadays, it’s 70% Americans. That’s what Hollywood and propaganda do.

                  No, you see, your grandparents did not encounter both Nazis and soviets. Your parents did not live under communist rule. And most of all you cannot even pin point results of current day ramifications of: 1. Occupation period, 2. Communism.

                  Totally, propaganda. It is sooo good that they even brainwashed your parents into thinking like they lived in bad communist state. It is so good it feels like there is a rift between generations.

                  Totally. And would not you know, they also did that in the Baltics and Czech.

                    Ah yes I forget, my family’s lived experience isn’t real because some jerkwad on lemmy said so. The source of a removed comment on reddit proved otherwise! You’ve converted me, the stories, written history, oral stories that I’ve recorded for my own records/kids/history must all be wrong. Literal hours of first hand accounts and hundreds of pages of documented familial history must be tainted and not an accurate account of the glorious USSR reign. Fuck… I better delete my grandfathers phone number. It must be getting answered by some deepfake AI voice…

                  I can see it in my browser and my phone, but sure. It’s a poll showing how in 1945, 55% of French people claimed the USSR freed them from Nazism. In 2015 it’s 25%. That’s exactly propaganda.

                  When you are ready to spend 10% of the time you spend shitting on communism and the USSR, actually shitting on the Nazism which carried out actual genocide in your country, I’ll be ready to talk with you. I’m sorry that the Polish foundational myth is based on Russophobia and anti-communism, it’s impossible to have meaningful discussions of 20th century socialism with most polish people.

          Oh, boy. Good that soviets took such good care of recording rapes. Unlike bad western nazies. White washing soviet rapes with statistics.

          There is also one more reason. soviets had no bordelos for the regular army. Only officers had army wives. It is a known fact. But probably western propaganda. Because in communism, everyone is equal, and everything belongs to everyone.

          Like in current day russia.

        I will let you know that you constantly excuse and support ultracapitalist nazi regimes. That makes you a nazi.

          What’s your point? Every rape is to be condemned and prosecuted. What isn’t fair is making up claims about the amount of rapes by a certain demographic and not backing that up with extensive evidence. That exactly what racist people do against immigrants, and that’s what Nazis did against soviets.
