Ok, I cite it for you. "I've brought you the peace." Therefore not only Russians thought they avoided the war with Germany which was your claim.

Oleg if that was true why did you then bother to carve up Poland between you two in the Ribbentrop Moletov agreement? Moreover where was Chamberlain when he said that? Not Russia. He and the French leader could care less what happened to Russia since they looked at the Bolshevik negotiation to end their part in WWI as a betrayal anyway. Nothing happens in a vacum Oleg. Learn your history.

Look sharp - I said "exxagerations".
So what? Margaret Thatcher have said openly that only 15 millions of Russian is the economically grounded quantity to dwell in Russia (He told that and if there were no Iron Curtain for information, I wonder what would have been the reaction of 250 millions in Soviet Russia). Madlen Albright has said that it's historically unjust that all Siberia belongs to Russians. And so was before him. Hitler was not too original to us, Gort.
You know it now, but don't know how many coffins really arrive from Iraq, because you must not to. Or, let's say, you better don't know it, so it's all for your sake. Soldiers and the people in Germany knew not more for the same reasons.

Sure I know exactly how many soldiers die in Iraq, and I know how many are injured. Oleg When Madeline Albright said whatever she said did we have troops sitting right on your border? I am not sure what you are referring to with Margaret Thatcher but it was Churchill that proclaimed the Irin Curtain not Thatcher. Also when he proclaimed the Iron Curtain how many British troops were on the Russian border? Moreover I suggest to you that even though we did not have troops sitting directly on the Russian border, although they were close, you did learn your lesson from Mein Kampf because that was the whole reason for the arms race. You could not afford to let us get to far ahead, you knew it and we knew it. Moreover all of these things you claim came after Hitler. So basically he caught you off guard. He suckered you into a peace agreement to get you to lower your guard and when you did he took advantage of it. However had you bothered to read Mein Kampf you would have known he had planned invading east all along. THis isn' rocket science Oleg, he pretty much spelled it out in balck and white for you. You just chose to ignore it.

Hitler attacked with forces equal to ours. There are no evidences that his design was based on information about results of Purges, he counted on rapid, quick and unexpected strike first. His army was not ready for positional war, it hadn't winter ammunition. Hitler was gambler, not Stalin. Stalin underetimated the adventurism of Hitler. He thought the assault is possible only at twice or thrice overcome in number and force of the attacker - as followed from common martial theories, and that was in the least reasonable. But Hitler cast his dice. He was racer, that poor Hitler, and that led him to his fatal doom. He put everything on the zero - to finish by the November or to lose.

Please the fact that Stalin had purged significant parts of the military command structure wasn't exactly a well kept secret Oleg, escept maybe from Russians. Why do you think he counted on a quick first strike? He was wrong. But part of the reason he was wrong was you got lucky with a severe winter, you got supplies fromt he west until while a number of your own factories were moved east of the Urals to keep them away from German attack, Hitler was an idiot when it came to tactics, and last your own new commanders proved not to be all that bad either.
Oleg I know WWII history fairly well. I also have the advantage of not having been raised with only one version of it.
