I didn't know being a communist and being a resistance hero is mutually exclusive. Sorry, but communists had every bit as much of a role, if not more of a role, than anyone else in defeating Hitler. You may disagree with their politics, but I don't think their politics negates the role which they had in the war. By that logic, there isn't a single Russian hero in WWII and they were all just evil commies bent on taking over the world, no matter what they did.

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.

Is that the essence of word war II?

The true enemy is the Communists in the end?

What next? The Waffen SS soldiers were spearheads to "liberate Europe from Communism"? That was the Nazi doctrine.

"Nevermind, it was a good fight" and handshake, I don't think so.
