Can someone please recommend me some reading or watching that isn't entirely infused with cold war rancor towards the USSR?

Another good one is this counterpunch piece which describes the Soviet rationale around the build up towards the Nazi invasion of the USSR, the millions of Polish lives saved from occupying eastern Poland, and also the wholly justified Winter War up in Finland.

It's funny how weak the propaganda coming out of the west is and has been for the last fifty years. Oh, leader x's actions don't seem rational? That's because they're insane, not because we're lying to you as if you were children.
