What are you talking about? Russia hasn't invaded anyone in Europe except Ukraine since WW2

Hungary and Czechoslovakia have been invaded once more by Russia decades after the WW2 invasion (1956 & 1968), even if you do not count the Caucasian countries as European.

Before that, there were threats to invade Tito's Yugoslavia, but those have been not accomplished.

Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Moldova, Ukraine, arguably Belarus in 2020.

Plus an attempted coup in Montenegro.

What others said + East Germany in 1953 + the threats to Poland in 1980.

The photos from the former, in particular, are practically iconic.

How is it possible to miss this history?
