As a former history student I love that RT word it as “USSR’s victory” and theirs only. I can almost hear someone’s children dissecting this in a few decades, ideally with a very pro-US source to contrast, and seeing if that sentiment shifted from 1945 to now. :)
(Before anyone puts words in my mouth, I studied history, and am well aware that we’d all be toast without Russia, and they suffered massively. I just find reading like this interesting.)
The historian in me knows a coalition of nations and peoples all contributed in various ways to the defeat of Nazi Germany.
The baiter in me just loves to say that Stalin killed Hitler and ended the Holocaust, while the Brits and Yanks kinda helped.
This is absolutely the way! :)
It is true though that the soviets were the most badass by far. Battle of stalingrad turned the tide of the war, etc.
You forgot to mention the reason they did this was largely to intervene against the communists
