Also, don’t forget that the Russians allowed the Nazis to devastate the Polish resistance in Warsaw before the Nazis were forced to retreat. This inaction allowed the Russians to install their own puppet regime in Poland.
And then after the war, hunted down members of the AK.
Including this great man.

That is not the first time I see this take on it but it is logically flawed.
First of all I am sure the Nazis weren’t obliged to ask the Soviets before taking action against the resistance and then the Soviets owed resistance nothing.
Not to say it was mighty politically incorrect from the Soviet point of view to spill blood for the British-influenced Polish government (non-puppets, let’s put it this way) to fly in on their coattails.
Freedom is never free.
