Only in 1939 were these lands liberated by the Soviet army.

Never in its long history has Russia ever "liberated" anyplace. Russians are not now, and have never been, liberators. Anywhere.

Yes, the nonsense in this is waist-deep:

“After the end of the First World War, Poland occupied Western Ukraine and Western Belorussia, territories of the Russian Empire, which the young Soviet state could not defend. In Ukraine, the Poles carried out Jewish pogroms and mass shootings in the spring of 1920. In the city of Rivne Poles shot more than three thousand civilians, in the city of Tetyevo - about four thousand Jews. Thousands of Red Army soldiers who had been taken prisoner were shot in Polish camps.”

The WWI allies also attacked the “young Soviet state” when WWI ended; were they wrong? If Poland was so anti-Semitic, why were so many Jews living there on the eve of the combined attacks from Hitler and Stalin? If they are so “anti-Ukrainian”, why have most of the current refugees fled to Poland?

“Only in 1939 were these lands liberated by the Soviet army.
In the same year, 1920, the Poles captured Vilnius and the surrounding area - about a third of the territory of the Republic of Lithuania. The USSR returned these territories to Lithuania after the war.”

Who writes this stuff? The USSR ruled these areas until the early 1990s; at least Churchill understood in the end that Britain had wasted its lives and treasure without saving any “democracy” or “freedom”...

The craziest thing is that the USSR pretty much got to keep its share of Poland that it took after the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact that started WWII. Poland’s borders were shifted west into what had always been Germany to sort of make up for the theft.
