Found the news reel that was mentioned in the article, it has a blooper when one of the "civilian" girls cheerfully greeting the liberators wears Red Army boots: https://youtu.be/7XsXSOSOtq4?t=438 https://youtu.be/7XsXSOSOtq4?t=438 Overall really sad moment in the history of the town, it had seen a a huge amount of violence - the almost total destruction of the Jewish population of the town, but also Nazi attacks on Ukrainian and Polish civilians. The total death toll caused by the Nazis in Stanislaviv/Ivano-Frankivs was 100 thousand people with at least 20 thousand of them Jews. Many people were also forcibly deported to Germany to work in factories (this is unrelated to the millions of Jews in concentration and extermination plants, where conditions were worse). The mood was actually deeply sombre and the news reel fails to hide it (although keep in mind the music was added by the person adding the video to YouTube). The reason wasn't only the Nazi crimes - the population of the city remembered 1939 when the Soviets took over the city from Poland and 1941 when right before they evacuated the city they killed everyone in the prison (many of them political prisoners) and other people suspecting to aid the German advance. On the day they captured the city another round of repressions began.
