That’s a good point. The Soviets were poorly led when Nazi Germany first invaded. And so they lost battle after battle. Then Georgy Zhukov appeared on the scene.

In my opinion, he won the war for the USSR. Yet, after the war, the Soviets treated him almost as a pariah. When he was no longer useful to the regime, they for all intents and purposes “disappeared” him.

Correct but the Soviets were defending their home territory.

The Russians are invading Ukraine. A huge difference.
