Lest we forget? Western amnesia about Soviet role in WWII victory has some disturbing aspects… [rt.com]
How quickly the US ignored the truth instead preferring to be led by the nose into indoctrination by Zionism and other right wing agendas.
"The fact is that the Soviet system was brutal for all Soviet citizens and that more Russians suffered under it than other nationalities. The Soviet elite believed that its system was the best in the world and it introduced the same regime all over the territory of the USSR without national discrimination. It is precisely this issue which radically distinguishes Soviet Communism from Nazism, and therefore makes it absurd to treat the two regimes as if they were equal.
Although the Soviet military effort and, above all, the terrible suffering inflicted on the civilian population (more than 26 million Soviet citizens died in the war, in contrast to about 400,000 each in Britain and America) is overlooked in the West, Russians today cherish fondly the memory of the East-West alliance that brought Germany to her knees.
The Russians have every right to recall their finest hour with pride, just as the British do." John Laughland RT 07 August 2019.
