    The soviets did what was right in order to protect polish jews and their own citizens from the german hordes. The nazi troglodytes made it extremely clear that they were going to attack the Soviet Union and leave nothing but scorched land behind them on their way to Moscow. Which they eventually did. The Soviet Union did the only smart thing at the time, which was to create a buffer zone while they were consolidating their military forces in order to eventually fight back against the germans, instead of just making the libs feel nice and letting the nazis take the entirety of Poland, as they were planning to anyways.

      No they didn’t. They were opportunist imperialists who stole land to build their empire and subjugate people. Stop trying to whitewash the atrocities committed by the Soviet Union.

        Those are no atrocities. The Soviet Union managed to save a ton of jews from the nazi hordes. In fact, most jews that stayed behind died in the Holocaust. The biggest group of jews that survived the holocaust were those deported from the frontlines by the soviets.

          Are Jews the only people in the world? How the hell can you say there were no atrocities unless you are completely ignorant of soviet history or are pushing a made up socialist fantasy propaganda? The soviets subjugated millions of central and eastern Europeans and murdered and deported countless people in their ethnic cleansing schemes. I suggest you read up on the NKVD and the forced population transfers and actually speak to people who lived under forced soviet rule - it fucking sucked.
