The May 9th celebrations in Russia are the height of hypocrisy. They were ethnically cleansing their empire and annexing sovereign countries just like the Nazis were. It only became a problem for them after Hitler turned on them...

So did every other European country. As horrible as Stalin's regime was for the USSR, it was the USSR soldiers who stopped Hitler and crashed Nazi Germany at an enormous human cost of 20M people, while UK was waiting as long as it could to get going and France just surrendering. What Putin is doing NOW is terrible and Russia will be paying the heavy price for its actions eventually, but this should not be used to re-write the history.
