Yeah, they were rather badly victimized by it in 1941, to the tune of about 26 million people. You mean when the Nazi and Russian team of invasion and conquest broke up, they turned against what had been their recent strategy of sneak attack?

Whatever Stalin and his evil minions did (to both Russians and many other peoples), the Russian people suffered terribly when the Nazis invaded. That the tables got turned on Stalin is a rich historical irony, but millions were killed and murdered for that irony. Besides, Hitler would've invaded Russia no matter whether Stalin was an angel, or the devil that he really was.

Never confuse a people with its government - government is ALWAYS composed at the top of those that are incredibly hungry for power over others.
