When liberals repeat the lie of "the Red Army were a bunch of barbaric savages who raped their way across Eastern Europe" they implicitly justify the Nazi policy of conscripting children and disabled people into hopeless human wave attacks
That's it, that's the post
Can you source this or point me in the right direction, it's really hard to search for. Almost every result is either Ukraine or the "Rape of Berlin"
oh god i should have saved the link its literally fucking impossible to find now. and i have to search through all these fucking links talking about like 60 million assaults over and over again its really difficult for me to keep searching. on wikipedia all references have been scrubbed except a cross-reference in "Rape during the Soviet occupation of Poland" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_during_the_Soviet_occupation_of_Poland#cite_note-Kochanowski-146-10
so here they are admitting that there was a strict protection order on german women and using the order's existence to say that polish people were assaulted in higher proportions.
it was an official order by soviet command and archived on marxists.org im sure
Very cool thank you, that's better than nothing and is good enough to look into further
i archieved this r/genzhou post when it was still around
there's also this reserch paper that is also mentioned in the post
found this reddit thread and i'll just quote this response a bit:
more
too long to quote in full but there's some good stuff there
please let me know if you find the source too. the best i could find right now is a reference to executions of soldiers found guilty of rape in magdeburg and this bit:
which is obviously mostly an implied order of how soviet soldiers should conduct themselves but the article i remembered was very much along the same lines. it may have been authored by stalin himself but im not exactly sure.
found these cynically framed in american historian Norman M. Naimark's The Russians In Germany: The History Of The Soviet Zone Of Occupation, 1945–1949, however he also wrote a book called "Stalin's Genocides" talking about "Naimark compares Stalin’s crimes with those of the most notorious genocidal killer of them all, Adolf Hitler." because of the kulaks so he's very obviously an anticommunist historian. https://www.ucis.pitt.edu/nceeer/pre1998/1991-802-14-2-Naimark.pdf
