There’s truth and there’s propaganda.
Facts support the truth.

The USSR’s books were definitely propaganda, but they relied on the same facts as the West. They made the facts support their ‘truth,’ such as the Allies reluctance to open a western front, allowing the Soviets to absorb the Nazi attack.

I guess what I’m trying to say is truth has a larger component of subjectivism than facts. YMMV

Old Joe Stalin was content to stroll down the garden path with Adolf until Adolf decided he didn’t need a partner anymore. Russia’s contribution to WW2 was minimal at best. They had no strategic air force and no navy. They didn’t fight the Germans or the Japanese in any capacity and battles fronts as did the Western Allies.
