I guess Russia gets irritable because most of the world doesn’t realize that about 80% of all the allied deaths were Russians.

Many of them shot in the back.

Maybe some of us are irritable because Russia forgets they were part of the Axis until half way through 1941, and enabled Naxi Germany to go on a worldwide rampage.

The Russian soldiers who died had their own leadership to blame. The U.K. and U.S. did everything in their power to aid the Russian cause, to their own detriment. They should have required Russia engage Japan in war immediately for example.

Russia also took so many casualties because their government had no care for their welfar. Including killing whole division of their own men because they were "in the way." It was much worse to be a Russian soldier than U.K., U.S., German, Japanese, etc.

I do feel some sympathy for those soldiers, but for any Russian government to play that card demands way to much chutzpah.

Maybe they didn’t train the troops to shoot straight, and depended on human wave frontal assaults? Those bottles of Vodka may have affected their shooting ability. Having all those nice guys in blue hats with guns behind them, motivating them to move forward, regardless of the incoming rounds, may have also contributed to their casualties.

who were killed by the Nazis who STALIN ORIGINALLY ALIGNED WITH.

I feel sorry for Russian civilians, but they were slaughtered BECAUSE OF STALIN’s *SS-HOLINESS as much as by Hitler.
