Not saying rest of Allies were saints.
But most European civilians who survived the warhave a favorable impression of the contribution made by Brit/American/Canadian troops et al.
But countries who fell under the spells of both Nazism AND Sovoet communism remain resentful of Russia, largely due to the lack of acknowledgment for its crimes.
My first point is made evident by the massive, massive immigration the United States saw in the postwar years from immigrants fleeing wartorn Europe. America was seen as a refuge. Not an evil war criminal regime.

Bias. Had the Soviets won the Cold War for Europe you could hear them saying the same thing about themselves.
Also your topic is rape and not a favorable impression of civilians. I fail to understand why Russian rape is any worse than rape by US or German troops. Do you believe overall ‘favorable impression’ makes rape better?
There is nothing good about Communism in postwar Europe but in no way it was any worse than Hitler’s plan. The fact many people complain is the evidence. There are few people survived to complain about the Nazis. They have simply ended up in ovens.

Who said US was an evil regime? Most immigrants were and are coming for economical reason. Have been this way forever. Europe was one big ruin at the time and US certainly weren’t.
