  As did everyone. There’s no study showing that the amount of rapes per soldier by the soviets is higher than that of other nations.

    Oh fuuuuck of. There are books based on actual KGB archives that were opened up. Rape of Berlin is well described. There are books about the actual bordelos attached to armies. Western armies. Soviet officers had army wives. Apparently they still do.

    There are countless accounts of people prefering Nazi soldiers to soviets. It is THE reason central and easter Europe hates russia.

    No data on rapes my ass. But pleeenty of data that soviets single handedly saved the world from Nazis.

    Get a grasp.

      Wow, so the released KGB archives show the tapes. I wonder what would happen if the Americans or the English did that too!

      Hatred of Russians by eastern Europeans is due to 30+ years of anti-communist propaganda. The fact that poles hate the USSR which liberated more than the very Nazis who genocided millions of them, shows this. And it wasn’t the case 40 years ago.

      Polls in France after WW2 showed 70%+ of people saying it was the USSR who saved them from Nazism. Nowadays, it’s 70% Americans. That’s what Hollywood and propaganda do.

    We do know however that the Soviets had the most investigations of and prosecutions of rapists, so it’s a bit of a “Swedish rape crisis” problem where they look worse on paper than other countries simply because their record keeping of the crime in question is better.

      Oh, boy. Good that soviets took such good care of recording rapes. Unlike bad western nazies. White washing soviet rapes with statistics.

      There is also one more reason. soviets had no bordelos for the regular army. Only officers had army wives. It is a known fact. But probably western propaganda.

    I will let you know that you constantly excuse and support ultracapitalist nazi regimes. That makes you a nazi.

    I also only rape within the average of my demographic

      What’s your point? Every rape is to be condemned and prosecuted. What isn’t fair is making up claims about the amount of rapes by a certain demographic and not backing that up with extensive evidence. That exactly what racist people do against immigrants, and that’s what Nazis did against soviets.

        Prosecuted ? Yes, war, famously rule-of-law kind of situation…

  And only stole most of east Germany’s infrastructure.

    East Germany paid war reparations to the Soviets while rebuilding itself into an industrial powerhouse - the people who “stole most of East Germany’s infrastructure” were the West German capitalists after reunification, when the whole region was forcibly de-industrialized and left a shadow of its former self that still hasn’t fully recovered over thirty years later.

        I read Stasi State or Socialist Paradise some years ago, I recommend it for anyone interested in a history of East Germany that isn’t written by West German propagandists.
