Right its not like the Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan didnâ€™t kill anyone or result in the disenfranchising of the Russian people with their government.

You hadn't really read my post fully, or my previous posts, have you

The invasion of Afghanistan was a terrible war, for Soviet soldiers as well as obviously the Afghans. Vietnam wasn't pretty either. But for both, we're talking hundreds of thousands dead in a war that, if ideological in nature, was in both cases one for maintaining a sphere of influence rather than a systematic eradication of whole groups of nations.

Noone can whitewash Soviet rule. But it just doesn't run up in comparison to Hitler's plans, neither on the ideological nor practical levels.
