Considering how the USSR fought a war of anihilation with Nazi Germany, I think the “Great patriotic war” is justified.
They didn’t fight like USA for fun. Nobody in the comments actually included the plans for systematic destruction of the Russians, along with Ukrainians and so forth.

So yea, all of you “OMG Ruskis r evul” and “they were allies for some time” can shove it.

And this just derailed into the Ukrainian thing.

Helping Germany circumnavigate the Versailles treaty is not helping them for military purposes; allies? :)

@Daemonik

So wikipedia holds the entire truth, taking all viewpoints, sources and connections into consideration?
Simplistic.

Also your quote about Soviet union coming to the aid of Czechoslovakia was followed by this in the article:
“[citation needed]”

Having opposing views or arguing (as in any discussion) against someones claims is not the same as being offended.
Stronk domination tactic!

Also, why Soviets allowed testing of german tanks (at the time when, according to international treaties, Germany was forbidden to design and construct tanks)?
That was during twenties and thirties… even at the time when Hitler came to power…
Isn’t that alliance, if you allow foreign military equipment to be tested on your testing grounds?

If Soviet Union was actually willing to fight alongside Czechoslovakia, then Europe would look very different in 1939…
Funny you left out the fact that Soviets were willing to help Czechoslovakia only if France would help, too… and France didn’t, so Soviet Union wasn’t willing… ;)
I admit, there was a certain amount of cowardice involved, but it wasn’t solely Czechoslovakian cowardice…

But I believe you know that, right? As you said, no country is perfect… not even the one you are defending…

Well, guess what, this term is self-centered by its very definition:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Patriotic_War_%28term%29

“In Russian, the term отечественная война originally referred to a war on one’s own territory (inside otechestvo, “the fatherland”), as opposed to a campaign abroad (заграничная война), and later was reinterpreted as a war for the fatherland, i.e. a defensive war for one’s homeland.”

In this connection lies the solution to our recent economic crisis.
…
But no, nazi were evil and scumbags yet pre WW2 Germany made a economic miracle in mere 5 years.

What kind of secret is actually hidden here by the school history of WW2 and made up hate propaganda and manipulation coped directly from Jewish holy book “Talmud”?

This kind of dogma of evil really needs to be shattered as its effect are counterproductive and a complete perversion of reality!
