Yep. It’s worth noting that after Hitler invaded the Soviet Union, the Soviets stopped using the term “Nazi”. It was for the reason you mentioned. Can’t have people realize that the Nazis were socialists too.
So Soviet propaganda never said, “We must push back the Nazi invaders.”
It was always, “We must push back the Fascist invaders.”
Yes that is something I have mentioned many times.
In a way Stalin was also a National Socialist because he advocated “Socialism in One Country”, as opposed to Lenin and Trotsky’s Internationalism. If anything, Stalin’s goals for Russia were no different than that of the Czars. He also tried to Russify the rest of the Soviet Union.
