Does anyone know of a source for those stats about perception of who liberated Europe in ww2, Russia/England/US? Obviously it’s not a nuanced poll for a nuanced topic but I am curious about changes in attitude since the Russian invasion of ukraine

I think that depends heavily on who you ask. For example, not many in France would credit the USSR because the red army never set foot in France. On the contrary, I don’t believe any western powers set foot in Lithuania so they would probably credit Russia.

Then, as you mention there is a lot of nuance in certain countries not wanting to give other countries credit due to post-war relations.
