Following the high number of military deaths suffered
by the Soviet Union in the defeat of Nazism in Europe ( 92% of Allied Military
Deaths and 65% of Allied and Axis deaths combined) that totaled 13.8
million of which 65% of these Soviets were from the Russian Soviet Socialist
Republic that is today the Russian Federation, and the high number of Soviet
civilians civilian deaths that totaled 12.2 million (accounting for more than
60% of the civilian deaths in Europe) half of which were from Russia; in view
of the fact that there is growing revisionism in Europe where the enormous
sacrifice made by the Soviet Union and Russia in particular in the defeat of Fascism and Nazism
is being downplayed for geopolitical reasons through the rewriting of history,
thereby giving the young populations of the West a twisted idea of what World
War Two was all about; it is easy to understand why there is growing
apprehension in Russia in regards to the growing encroachment of the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization (NATO) to the Russian Federation's doorsteps, especially as
Russians still remembers that all the disastrous military invasions of the
territory in the past five hundred years came from the western side of their motherland's
borders.
