In some countries, such as Germany, "the allies" (or its translation) doesn't even generally include Russia. Russia was allied with Germany at first, raped half of Europe, then divided it in two and tried to starve half of Berlin.

The picture is a relevant reminder of what fascism is and how it needed to be defeated in the past, but I can understand opposition to anything that lauds Stalin.

    In Sweden the Soviets are not really regarded as part of the allies as well, just some other entity that the allies helped against Hitler. That doesn't change that they were in the allies club however.

    And Stalin should rightfully be left in the murderous dictators club. But recommending to not upvoting a picture of the allied leaders because Stalin is there, well.
