If anything, the 'distortion' of history is that only one brutal totalitarian regime was defeated and condemned, but not the other. It is often forgotten that the World War II was started by both the Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia [1][2]. This does not undermine the tremendous human sacrifice by the ordinary people on the Soviet/East side: it must be remembered and respected. However, the fact that the Soviet Union was on the winning side undermined the terror, repressions and immense suffering inflicted on millions of people, including their own people and the people of the countries they invaded [3][4][5][6]. The Soviet regime, as a political subject, should not be glorified; and they certainly should have had very little to complain about. Let alone the D-Day.
