Soviet war crimes gives a short overview about serious crimes committed by the Red Army's (1918-1946, later Soviet Army) leadership and an unknown number of single members of the Soviet armed forces from 1919 to 1990 inclusive including those in Eastern Europe in late 1944 and early 1945, particularly murder and rape. Neither by any international military jurisdiction nor the Red Armys leadership have any of its members have ever been charged with war crimes by a court of law.

East Germany was little more than the Soviet's trophy for defeating Hitler. and they knew it.

another apologist for Capitalism....do you really think that the US occupation from 1945-1953 was any better?.....ask a German from that time period what they thought of the American denazification program and its policy of "anti-fratenization" food was deliberatly withheld from all German citizens......as an aside I dont think the Vietnamese would paint the US "democratic occupation" of their country in the same light as you portray the East German government.

nobody in Czech rep. disobey Václav Havel. thanks to his intervention with in our country are communists along official political party!!! in spite of have on one's conscience in behalf of his day in the course of century more body count in a few too little states, beyond whole capitalism in the course of of several centuries!

Yeah, and yet the workers and peasants in Vietnam, the majority, fought to the very end to topple South Vietnam. You know nothing about it. Stop listening to Vaclav Havel.
vitak69 (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
Yes, south Vietnam more demokratic till he was at that time North Vietnam.
hectorbolshevik (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
You know, maybe you should get Vaclav Havel to send in the Czech Army into Vietnam to bomb and promote human rights. Who knows, Havel might just succeed where his bosses (USA and France) failed miserably. South Vietnam more demcratic? Well the Vietnamese people didn't think so.

So were some of my comrades. These East Germans certainly weren't single mothers about to lose their child care benefits, workers about to lose their jobs, much less any of those 250,000 plus East Berliners who demonstrated in Treptow Park against the decicration of the Red Army memorial by Nazi thugs and capitalist reunification.
