If an American general recognized the urgent threat of Nazism and committed literal millions of soldiers to stamp it out no matter the cost and American lives were the ones who stood up and agreed to this exchange, we would throw our country a weekly holiday to celebrate it. Georgy Zhukov does it and he's a clunky butcher who blithely commends enormous human suffering. And the Soviet soldiers weren't brave young men (and women, because it doesn't dissolve the immense human rights issues of the USSR to point out that they were better at gender equality in some areas than we are) but brainwashed commies who threw themselves into the woodchipper simply because the state asked.

Yep. It doesn't require a blind assent to the USSR, especially the USSR under Stalin, to point out that they understood the threat of fascism before the liberal nations of Europe and especially before the United States did.
