And obviously you respect especially Belarus and Ukraine, because it was them that did the heavy lifting in that, as you already somewhat mentioned, right?

Obviously, my utmost respect to the brave workers and soldiers of all the ethnicities in the USSR that contributed to the slaughter of the Nazi monster, including not just Russians but Belarusians, Ukrainians, Kazakhs, Maris... Belarus and Ukraine took the worst part because they were occupied by the Nazis who had a policy of extermination of the Slavic peoples, it's truly horrifying what the people of said republics had to endure.
