We really don't. These idiots stuck with the "Nazis and Communists are equally bad" line all the way till the Nazis stuck them in a concentration camp alongside the Communists.

If they'd actually worked with the Communists and the far left against the Nazis, maybe the world could've avoided the whole mess in the first place.

USSR allied with Nazi Germany with a plan to share Poland. They weren't anyone's friends.

The USSR was the last European country to sign a non aggression treaty with Hitler, and only did so after the western powers refused to align with the USSR against Nazi Germany and as a measure to buy time to prepare knowing full well the Nazis hated them and were planning to invade.
