That is true, the Brits were a major contributor, and the Russians self sacrafice ( Well, this is a missnomer since it wasn't self sacrafice, it was Stalanist forced sacrafice or excution - which is more noble?). |
Good points but I strongly disagree with the bold, I've read enough and spoken (IRL and on the net) with enough researchers and especially Russian and those from other ex-Soviet republics to know the patriotic feeling in Russia was genuine. Foreign devils are always worse than one's own, besides, the Slavs faced extermination in a way even Stalin's oppression did not...and believe it or not there was a great deal of genuine enthusiasm for communist ideals.
