Yeah, well, must be touchy cause this flew all over me. The West will never fully acknowledge that the people of the Soviet Union bore the bear's share of suffering and victory against the Nazis. As the armistice was signed on the 9th Moscow time, tomorrow is Victory Day, a day of pride and gratitude, a triumph of Socialism. Never forget.
