The Kremlin claims the Soviet Union “liberated Europe” in 1945. It omits one crucial fact: WWII was enabled by the Hitler–Stalin Pact of 1939, which carved up Europe between two totalitarian regimes. For millions in Central and Eastern Europe, Soviet “liberation” meant occupation, repression, deportations, and decades without freedom. The Soviet Union was an occupier. Russia is an occupier in Ukraine today.
