AdrienXII, lets not forget that more Frenches died fighting for Nazi Germany, than against it.

Frenches were the fascist nations just as Germans, Albanians, Italians, Japanese, etc.

Jep, I remember that pic. Poor Chamberlain actually thought that paper in his hand meant something. Western Allies sold out smaller nations then in order to prep for war. Shock-part was that Soviet Union and Nazi-Germany, two ideologies coming head to head suddenly sign a treaty. Westerners did not expect that and realized then that Germany will assault them first, not the Soviet Union.
What does Russian history say about the beginnings of Barbarosa? Is there any refrences about Soviet formations?

Yet, many Russians also tend to be unaware of many events which took place right before the official beginning of WW2.
Predjudices born long ago are still remembered, both sides are guilty to that.

Germans attacked, so did you. Germans killed civilians, so did you. Germans did untold horrific deeds, so did you.

Different from the accustomed opinion in the West, Russian modern history offers the enormous number of versions and speculative theories. I can hardly take some for the general official guideline and say it is what we call our history. The huge mount of Cold War fabrications which had been distorting the history deliberately for so long can not be swept away at once. I'd recommend you to read diaries and letters of real living men on all sides of that time period. That show you the edge of real events and mental considerations, feelings and passions, quite unlike to the biased Soviet and Holliwood stories.
The German artillery was unfolding on the border on river-Bug and the Wehrmacht officers with binoculars were wondering as the small Soviet border-harrisons were seen careless playing volleyball and there were no traces of preparations for defense of counter-assault. As the first bombs were already falling onto the sleeping Kiev and other cities, the Soviet trains with food and other supplies crossed the border westward, as we and Germany had allied trade.
The German soldiers which had been delivered to the Western border of USSR believed they were going through the territory of friendly USSR to Iran, to fight British there.
Well, I'd say, we mustn't allow anyone to teach us history, especially embed the comments into the children. To my mind people should properly study psycology before get down to history.

What's wrong with Poland? Or maybe Russia attacked Poland, killing its citizens? Nope, that was just an annexation.

Just like the annexation of Czechoslovakia by Poland and Germany some time before.

So Russia's actions are as acceptable as the Nazis'?

Read any French history books? It's obvious you haven't, or you wouldn't be making these silly accusations.

Unfounded speculation. The intent of the Versailles treaty never was to humiliate. It was intended to break the ability of Germany to invade France again. Now, you can argue whether it was wise or not, just spare us the bullshit, please.

Sorry, mate, I don't think I have. Don't try to turn the tables on me man, you tried to claim that Russia was never the aggressor, which is plainly false. I never wrote a similarly biased statement about France, and I won't. You are the revisionist, not me.

You don't know me. Stop pretending you do, Oleg, it's annoying.

This a false, by a wide margin. In fact, by an order of magnitude.

Well, you could try to make a case for it, certainly. But you haven't, yet.

Oh, yeah, wrt Napoleon. Russia joined the Second Coalition in 1798, and initiated hostilities against France. That makes Russia the aggressor, in my book, not France.

So Russia that fought against French aggression was an aggressor? Pretty well...

You can manipulate with opinions, but you can't resist the facts.

Aggression of France was aggression against Russia.

Whatever, France was spreading democracy and freedom, and freeing populations from their ignoble tyrants...

Ha-ha! So that's how you taught in schools and colleges...

Reality is that France was spreading its Empire and tried to gain absolute control over the continent and nothing more.

Hell, no. The monarchists were afraid the Revolution would spread to their countries and threatened to invade. Are you a royalist? The Czars were the worst kind of oppressors...

Ha-ha... Revolution? French Revolution was over long time ago, Napoleon was an emperor and dictator.

So he was. It's still true that France had no choice but to fight. Were his opponents any better? If anything, they were worse.
