What a great photo. This woman fought NAZIS and won. The Soviet people sacrificed hugely to defeat Hitler despite their own leader.

Their own leader killed more of them than the zazis could ever dream. 29 million dead at stahlins' hands.

You possibly missed the part about "despite their own leader". If Hitler had quickly defeated the USSR and gained control of all the resources of that vast country, it would be a much different world today. Soviets, like this lady, is why it didn't happen.
