"Spanalot, you never cease to amaze me with your "talent" to write revisionist history. "
Actually, the Kremlin spin that you relate is the problem.
Here are the facts - Read and Weep!
The first one relates the assassination of the
Russian General who sent unarmed Ukrainians up against German mechanized forces.
"Once outside Soviet territory, the Red Army went on a rampage that left some 3 million dead, an orgy of revenge that affected mainly civilians and refugees, while in the borderlands civil wars broke out as early as 1943, resulting in brutal massacres on both sides. Ukrainian insurgents, for example, killed one of the heroes of Stalingrad, the Commander of the First Ukrainian Front, General Nikolay Vatutin, in February 1944"
Here are the details on the Siberians that Stalin sent to their deaths. You know where Siberia is - that's where the Russian gulags were - where the Kremlin had sent political prisoners for hundreds of years. So much for the "Russian" sacrifice of WWII.
"One of the most memorable of these sketches is In The Main Line of Attack (Napravleniye glavnovo udara). It describes life and death in a division of Siberian troops who had to bear the brunt of the most frenzied period of Nazi attacks on Stalingrad, withstanding 80 straight hours of bombardment, and more. "

Interesting that you would post an example of how Ukrainian insurgents were doing the Nazis bidding and able to operate with Nazi assistance. Weep? I do "weep" when a FR member applauds and idolizes people who were allied with Nazi Germany - no matter how vile the Soviets were, they were technically our Allies and the US and British forces were relying on the Soviets to keep the Nazis bogged down. By hampering the Soviets your Ukrainian heros (Nazi allies) were in fact resisting our efforts to defeat the Nazis and were in reality on the side of our enemy. That you continue to lavish praise and admiration on them shows you are willing to morally ally yourself with any vile thug as long as they are killing Russians - even if it means cheerleading enemies that killed brave American soldiers.
