also the very widespread cold war propaganda filling european heads that the soviets were just as bad as the nazis.

for example, the nazis murdered hundreds of thousands of hungarian civilians, while the soviets did not.
which is why the average hungarian will to this day insist that it was not liberation when the red army finally took budapest and chased the nazis out. even people who WOULD NOT EVEN BE ALIVE TODAY WITHOUT THE SOVIETS, cos their parents were in hiding while the nazis were actively hunting for them, and it's a fucking miracle they made it out of the war alive as it is.

I know multiple Poles who believe the exact same thing, and believe WW2 ended/liberation happened only after the Soviets left

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
