I nearly posted this last night, as it is tangentially interesting. Here it is now anyway.

This is part one of a short essay examining the idea that the Soviet Union did most to win WW2, on the basis that the Eastern Front was more significant. The author (A St Andrews University academic, Philips O’Brien) argues first that there’s a broad correlation between those likely to believe the USSR basically won the war (as opposed to the Western allies), and those who believed Russia would easily win in Ukraine, and to a lesser extent continue to believe that the tide will eventually turn, and/or that Ukraine should negotiate now.
