The Eastern Front witnessed great brutality on both sides. The Nazis set the tone when they began to shoot Soviet prisoners of war and their Einsatzgruppen rolled across the Eastern Soviet Union shooting civilians, mostly Jews. As the Soviets pushed them back, they destroyed cities and killed many more civilians.

Yes, the Soviet soldiers responded with brutality and rape, but the Nazis could expect no quarter.

Yup, no good guys on the Eastern Front. Just bad and worse.

Let's be fair, the Soviets had a HUGE head start in mass killings and brutality over the Nazis; dating back into the '20s. The Nazis were just better at documenting it.
