This one I've been looking around for an answer for almost a year: the Red Army being given the order to hold position and expressly not move in to liberate Warsaw during the Warsaw uprising.
Honestly it seems like one of the most genuine dick moves seen from the Soviets that is seen from ww2.
Like there's plenty to argue over in terms of "Soviet atrocities" such as the Katyn massacres sites having both German bullets shells and polish bodies being buried in ways that resemble how nazi Einsatzgruppen sardine can packed dead bodies in mass graves, or how Hungarian fascists were rounding up Jews and communists for extra judicial executions during the western supported Hungarian uprising.
Come on people this is weak shit, give me the good stuff

They had to reconsolidate their forces, who had been advancing nonstop. If that meant fucking over their political rivals, so be it.
