This is a myth based on a misconception about Russians. Stalin and USSR is not same. Hitler was not a friend. Fascism terrified all Russian people. Stalin dreaded Hitler and showed friendship in order to gain time. Hitler attacked Poland and it has no chances. The USSR just return the part of Belarus. Later, the Russians entered Europe as liberators from fascism, but they would never enter as conquerors. And, yes, later this liberation turn to ocupation for same reasons: if USSR was not strong it would have been isolated and destroed. And the Russians themselves stop all this and left Europe when they finally realized that communism will never work. Maybe the Russians are not the most pleasant people, but they didn’t do what the Germans did and communism is not fascism.
