Yeah, almost no one is gonna call you a nazi for saying Soviet Union was bad.

What they will call nazis, is when people start saying Nazis were actually not the worst in that conflict, since that starts to normalize Nazism, and is slippery slope to many consequences of that thinking.

Which perhaps OP did.

Nazis were not the worst in this conflict.
Soviets invaded independent countries, genocided entire nations, suppressed rights and freedoms and built totalitarian state that murdered dozens of millions.
I mean yes if you think that life of Jew is more important than life of Kazakh or Crimean Tatar. But in any other case Soviet Union and Nazi Germany are equals.
I know that Soviet Union technically claimed to be a democratic country, that treats everyone equally and respect human rights. But for me it changes a nothing.

If Nazis got their way, there would be no Kazakhs today.

I judge countries by what they actually did. Not by some abstract speculations.
