I certainly accept that the Russians paid an overwhelming price in the war against Hitler. However, Stalin's conspiring with Hitler made the start of the war possible. And even when Churchill and others warned Stalin of Hitler imminent double cross in (22 Jun 1942 Operation Barbarossa), Stalin failed to prepare for the war. In addition, Stalin faithfully provided supplies in abundance to Nazis right up until the Nazis turned on them. So Stalin was aiding and abetting Hitler in his attempts to finish off England. It must be said that Stalin's strategy and tactics also contributed to the huge losses of Soviet slave people. Finally, people need to keep in mind that Stalin killed huge numbers of his own soldiers even as they fought the Nazis, and killed many of those soldier who had had the bad circumstance to have been captured by the Nazis. One barely know chapter of the war was Operation Keelhaul. It reflects badly on England, the USA, and the USSR. See this link:

FDR gets worshipped. Not by me. Communist at heart. Horrible what they did after the war. I never knew. But not shocked with the people in charge. Perhaps western decline goes back to the years immediately after the way with the play nice with Russians attitude.
