Just because thats a prevailing narrative, especially in the West, that Soviets were the good guys because they were allies in conquering Nazis. Many people don't even know they were cooperating with nazis and conquered half of Poland alongside.
I am anti-government and not anti-russian. I have russian frends that suffer greatly because of their mafia at the top.
Really??? Soviets were the good guys is the prevailing narrative in the West??? My news sources tell me very different. In fact my American friend lost his job for marrying a Russian.
I also have Russian friends, great people. Luckily they live in the Russian countryside and enjoy a much better life than the American cities.
Are you European or American? Maybe that is the difference in the Soviet narrative? The narrative I hear is mainly American.
I'm polish.
Interesting because completely different than my sources. Would be interesting to have a geographical opinion poll on this. I know there is a big divide between cities and rural areas in America but the main narrative is most likely the same.
I may exaggerated the extend, maybe it is not dominant, but it is definately there. Also this may be more accurate to western Europe than US, dunno
