Yeah I agree, USSR never gets the credit they deserve. I'm Canadian so all we learn about is Canada/USA/UK in the war.

I'm taking a course next year on the USSR in WWII so that should be interesting.

You may end up hating the soviets depending on if your a dog person.

Oh I'm well aware of the bad things they've done, I know they weren't much better than the Nazis. Like how they "liberated" many of the concentration camps but many of the people they "rescued" were actually just sent off to Russian camps where they were no better off. 

My friend, you are living in a country that used to be "Anti-Soviet" for almost 40 years. So of course that's all you would hear about the Soviets....

Interesting fact, Soviets liberated Aushwitz the biggest death camp in Europe. majority of the Jews were killed in that camp. Soviets gave them shelter/food even though they barely had enough for themselves. Later after ww2, those Jews were sent to the West for a better life.
