"So in other words, the allies were responsible for atrocities committed by the Soviets"
Your sentence is a non-sequitur. The Soviets shot the Don Cossacks and Volga Germans (apart from the ones shot in the round-up by the English).
The Soviets could not shoot any of them if they had not been handed over, thus Allied complicity. It takes two to Tango.
Besides, looking the other way while the Gestapo take away Jews in your street is a crime - hadn't you heard ?
"indigenous to the Soviet Union and were returned there"
The Soviet Union was not indigenous to Russia, the Ukraine or the Caucasus.
Let's see you hand over Jews to Nazi Germany because "they are indigenous" and explain that. Even banking with Nazi Germany is treated as a "war crime". We can't even hand back illegal immigrants because it would upset them. You think you would get away with herding them to their deaths ?

So you maintain that it was widely known that the Soviets would kill these people when repatriated? Do you have a source for that, or do you expect us to just unquestioningly buy that?
