For the largest nation on earth, what is truly amazing is just how
little
Russia has given to world civilization.


How about saving the world from the Nazis in WW2? ;-)

(see, every thread gravitates to the Nazis eventually!)



They did not save the world from the nazis.

They certainly saved Poles in Poland.

They only sought to save themselves

They offered to supply weapons and muntions to Poland in 1939. Beck
and Rydz-Smigly couldn't be bothered. Dumb. I mean, even the
"Peanut" had the sense to take Soviet arms and munitions when they
were offered.

but did not pass up the chance to enslave eastern Europe.

Hey, the West was perfectly willing to see the Nazis take over Eastern
Europe.

The West didn't lift a finger to impede the military conquest of
Poland, or the process of racial/cultural extermination the Nazis then
initiated.

Eastern Europe only became important to Western Russophobes as the
Soviet Army got close.

Great Britain and France both declared war on Germany within a day of
the invasion of Poland.
