What Stalin did and did not do after the war (and even before) is irrelevant in terms of what the Soviet people did when Hitler invaded. It doesn't alter that at all. It doesn't make the sacrifice or the bravery any less. Or the impact on the Nazi war effort and the ultimate outcome of the war in Europe.

I seem to understand you have some issue with Eric. Fine. I'm not interested in those issues creeping out in every other thread.

Who exactly denied the sacrifice or the bravery? Until your online nemesis brought up the supposed stupidity of the Russian people, it was just pointed out that some tend to forget the impact the pact, the military purge and Stalin's own blindness had on the whole campaign -- and those are things that happened before and during the first month of Barbarossa. I fail to see how this -- all facts -- is irelevant or a sacrilegious thing to say in the light of the hardship suffered by the people.
