Frankly, sometimes I wonder who had truly won and who truly lost. USSR is no more. Meanwhile, Nazi descendants are out there on tv screens and media outlets, screeching like parrots with rabies about the "evils of communism". Not to mention that NATO still exists and causes immense suffering every day - and you know who co-created NATO. Federal Germany? Pretty much same as pre-war Germany. Meanwhile in former USSR, socialism is slandered and discredited.

Who lost indeed. I am no longer certain
USSR won. But the west, who supported fascism (if it didnt expand into their empires), won too, with lower losses.
I think it was zhukov that said "we defeated fascism and they will never forgive us for it". I may be misattributing the quote.
