Not sure why the need to speak of Zionism. The Russians most definitely suffered worse than most and they were a bigger influence in the timing of the outcome than the U.S. once the Russian production heated up. It took both the U.S. and Russia to win. It is also very likely that Russia's pronouncement of war against Japan played into Japanese reasoning into an immediate surrender to the U.S. Two bombs did put pressure on, however - do the readings. And the why the Russians announced when they did - a deal with FDR that Truman didn't follow through upon. That deal may have ushered in a smaller Soviet block - who knows, except that FDR had already ceded Poland. What ifs are just that; what was and not spoken about is rewriting history.

Let's not try to rewrite history. Yes, it is true that Russia suffered greatly during WWII, and that they played a large role in defeating the Nazis. But, let's not forget the massacres by the Russians, the aggressive expansionism by the Russians in taking part of Finland, Poland, the Baltic nations. Let's also not forget How the Russians used the war to take absolute control over all of eastern Europe, killing and imprisoning dissenters, installing puppet regimes, stationing hundreds of thousands of Russian troops in those satellite states, and looting those nations of their resources. They used the war to advance a totalitarian ideology themselves.

I remember a few years ago, an "online aquaintance" from Texas was rambling on about WW2. I thought he was ignorant as he stated that America and America only won WW2. After trying to present him with a simple fact (Operation Barbarossa), which he refused to consider I thought "His ego is SO Massive!"

But I now realize a few years later, that he is a White Nationalist. They make up their own history

The Russians suffered more than any other nation during the war. People just don't want to know it. The mass starvation alone was brutal.
