Meanwhile in the US there were SS people that made it here and worked for the CIA or got to practice law or went to work for NASA.

After WWII, Russia recruited Gestapo and SS as spies against the West, and literally transplanted Nazi research centers, equipment, and personnel to the Soviet Union. Thousands of Nazi scientists, engineers, and technicians were given privileged positions in rocketry, aviation, radar and telemetry.

Yeah, like... there's a lot of lies about the USSR, but they were just as ruthless and evil as the US was during the Cold War.

I wouldn't say they were "as evil" given that the US helped kill over well over a million Communists (see Indonesia) and USSR helped fund and arm decolonial movements but definitely just as ruthless, when you've made an enemy of the entire Western world you kinda have to be.

Still I think it's dishonest of people to deny or downplay the USSR's missteps
