Stalingrad, Voronezh, Kiev, Minsk are part of Russian
Second the USSR Liberated eastern Europe from German rule to Soviet rule
Just like the Americans liberated the native Americans from Spanish, French, anD British rule to American

Soviet army liberated Soviet people from the Nazis in Kiev, howâs that news?
The whole Russian civil war was a mess but in general terms there were also Ukrainian bolsheviks who wanted to be part of the USSR (just like in every other republic that became part of the USSR, Russia included - there were pro and con people).

Yes but there were more Ukrainian Nationalists than there were Ukrainian Bolsheviks, Ukraine joined the USSR not out of a want to, but after a Bolshevik Army came from Russia into Ukraine and forced them too.

Idk. The numbers of fascists, ultra nationalists and literal Nazis in Ukraine during its âfirstâ USSR and WW2 period wasnt that small though.
Anyway. I really would like to know wheter if the Soviet Invasion of Manchuria is also known as Liberation War or not because it feels like the creator switched campaigns.

Idk man you can make the same argument about Russia proper in 1917: more Russian people wanted a constituent assembly to determine the Russian state future after the February revolution but the Bolsheviks just siezed the power.
That doesnât mean Russian cities like Rostov, Tver, Kaluga, Kerch or Pyatigorsk were âoccupiedâ by Bolsheviks and were not liberated in 1943-1945 from the nazis.
In any case, to say that âevil soviets did not liberate anyoneâ is just ignorant when you look at Europe map 1941-1945.
Definitely not in the Russian language. Itâs Manchurian Offensive Operation.
Maybe in OPâs native language it is.

I typed in âwas the Soviet invasion of Manchuria also called the liberation warâ and this is what came up.
Looks like the Mongolians called it the âLiberation War of 1945â but I canât find any other sources of it being called that.

Im not saying the Soviets didnât liberate cities from under German Occupation during WW2, what Iâm saying is Ukraine wanted to be an independent nation but was taken advantage of by the Bolsheviks (and by the Polish but the Bolsheviks never stopped, the Polish did), Bolsheviks that allowed an entire army to force the country to join the Soviet Union, not by votes, but by strong arming.
People who have a problem with the current regime always welcomes invaders as liberators, it is how it has been since the dawn of time.
maybe Russians did see the Red Army as a liberator but the rest of the world hardly. Sure communists, jews and other minorities would welcome the Reds, but the rest had all of their good reasons to see them as invaders, especially after 1945 when the Red army stayed in those countries.

Give us battles that were actually relevant to the Asia Pacific Campaign like Hong Kong, Burma, the Philippines(both 1942 and 1944), Singapore, China as a whole, New Guinea, and of course places like Okinawa , Guam and Iwo Jima first.
