The point is, that if something is illegal for one party, it's illegal for all. The point isn't that the USSR crimes are ok because Nazi Germany did it, it's that if it is a crime for the USSR then it must be a crime for Nazi Germany, or the UK, or the US.
This, of course, isn't how the world works. But if you believe it should be, it's hard to accept the Russians are the only ones who have crimes to answer for - they just seem to be the only ones being brought to account.

Example USSR-Germany is a parallel to what some Russians are stating: like the current law on blogging is okay because the US initiated similar law too. Bloggers, free media and readers are in fact victims of this manipulation because the US has nothing to do with Russia's internal policy. And still some Russians use this argument as a justification of this law. Please read my previous comment thoroughly.
