People on the top certainly had been the evil bastards that wanted to take over the world...and they miscalculated then it all turned in to great patriotic war with great heroes of soviet union.
In many senses Russian ruling clique had been worse than nazi's.
Still the heroism and sacrifice of Russians is undeniable just as the crude polices.
