One shouldn't delete or argue with the above statement just to demonstrate what propaganda (in this case, the old-timey Western one) does to you. For a modern Russian to read that his grandma and grandpa, all their friends and family were "made inherently horrible people" and essentially murderous lobotomized Orcs... It isn't even insulting, but instead somewhat curious and bizarre. Great Patriotic war had its many different sides and aspects, but not in the form of campaign options in C&C: Red Alert.
Removed the following:
The history of war crimes inflicted in Germany by the Red Army is pretty well documented.
Just dismissing them all as "Western Propaganda" is just about as bad as denying the crimes inflicted by the Nazis as Allied propaganda.
