What are you even talking about, MrSmith? The Nazis marched all the way from Berlin and took everything on the way to the USSR and the USSR marched all the way to Berlin as they crushed 80% of the Nazi forces and when they were done the US and UK were very clear that they had no problem with more Nazis - openly former Nazi officials were put in charge of West Germany, openly former Nazi officers were put in charge of NATO, and NATO supported Nazi collaborators throughout all of Europe. The USSR had the choice of either releasing the totally destroyed territories to their own devices while the West actively fomented a Nazi resurgence or they had to attempt to rebuild what the war destroyed and actively prevent the still existing Nazi threat from re-emerging and invading Russia yet again.
There is absolutely nothing in any of the primary sources to suggest that the USSR was pursuing active imperialism - not in the philosophy, not in the rhetoric, not in the meeting minutes, not in the letters, nothing.
Ok ml bro.
