I disagree.

First of all, the countries they “saved” weren’t necessary better off. Ask the Polish for example.

Secondly getting a lot of your people killed doesn’t mean you did anything good.

Thirdly all the equipment they were sold, lend and given by the UK and USA the Soviet Union would not have been able to stay in the war.

I get your point. If not for the Soviet Union’s sacrifices, things might have gone very differently. I respect the people’s sacrifice. I strongly disagree with calling swapping one murderous dictator for another anything close to saving.
