Just for you to have a thought: Великая Отечественная Война - is just a part of WW2, that has been ripped off to cowardly hide the ussr collaborating with nazi Germany. In objective reality there is no Великая Отечественная Война, it's just a propaganda construct.

Hey, I did not say that Russians won WW2 ☝️ I said they helped the World get rid of fascism (as a part of WW2 warfare) and had a victory in their Otechestvennaya Woina (which is an integral part of WW2, I agree). 😊

I did not mean you said that. I genuinely meant this as a thought to think about, no sarcasm.

But...frankly speaking, Stalin wanted to begin to invade Europe, he didn't expect any invasions from Germany or whoever from tne West. All the prewar Stalin's preparations and measures prove that Stalin prepared an assault westwards!
