interesting posters.
Alas, as usual you seem to conveniently forget the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact which was a non-Aggression Treaty between Hitler's Germany and Stalin's USSR.
During this time the UK stood alone - although with help from our Commonwealth brothers - against Nazi Germany and Europe.
No amount of spin can gloss over that FACT.

Remember, Russia and Putin are not your friends!
You speak for yourself there pal, they are most definitely my friends.

That last poster is Dutch, not Finnish. Den Haag is the political capitol of the Netherlands

I have no beef with Russia or the Russian people. It is a beautiful country with a rich history. They did turn the tide during the war which helped the allies to victory.
However, Stalin cannot be propped up as a good guy or hero. While he may have felt he was on the side of good, if you were on the other side you were dead. He executed upwards of 700 thousand people for differing political beliefs.
He started much as a plain simple mobster by robbing, kidnapping and murdering people to gain power. It was his way or the highway to the cemetery. By any account he was not someone to be revered and celebrated, just a serial killer
