See you're falling into one of the traps here by phrasing it as Russia. The truth is the Soviet Union did a lot, but much of that was with disregard for the lives of it's population especially the non-Russian non-Georgian populations. While not trying to diminish the sacrifices Russians made in WW2 it is important not to let the modern day Russian government conflate the non-Russian Soviet Peoples with modern day Russia.
