Tbf, would you have rather had the nazis or the soviet union?
Neither, the soviet union fucked over all of these countries for the next 50 years, and even more. Fuck both of them.
the Soviet proxy states just adopted the Nazi policies with a red flag on top
They most definitely did not
Saved them from the nazis, but some of them didn’t want to be saved
“Saved” implies the change of situation to something better. The soviets killed, plundered, tortured, sent people off to death camps too. That’s why people here will say that russians can stick their liberation up their arse - they weren’t saviors, they started the war alongside nazi germany.

Were those people nazis?
No, they weren’t. Read up on Katyn - soviets executing 22000 Poles in 1940. A year and a half before nazis invaded the soviets. It is a war crime that Russia admitted in 1990. And it is one of many, too many to count. Not that it would convince someone like you.
Yes? The Nazis operated most of their Holocaust-camps in eastern Europe. The Nazis systematically executed also non Jewish Civilians in Poland, Ukraine, Belarus… to make their “Lebensraum” reality.
Doesn’t make Stalin good, but suggesting the UDSSR to have been equal to the Nazis is simply wrong.
The soviets regilarly executed civilians, “intelligentsia”, officers and sent civilians over to die in Siberia.
Yes, the soviets were just as bad as nazis to the countries they occupied.

It’s like saying: “do you prefer being stabbed in the left lung or the right lung?” both are just bad

I am puzzled.
You not knowing history or how people were treated under the occupation of the soviets isn’t my problem.
Do you think Slavic people would be alive by now without the soviets?
Oh yeah then that makes the warcrimes, mass murders, death camps 100% justifiable, because the nazis.
Fuck the soviet union, fuck communism, fuck people who try to whitewash history. Nobody here is grateful for the soviet union occupying the country.
