You are either claiming that the USSR’s liberation of Europe both was and wasn’t occupation, or you are claiming that the USSR preventing fascists from coming into power on those countries was ‘occupation’, while the US putting fascists into power there and also doing things like what has been done to Greece and Ukraine is somehow not such.
I didn’t say anything about that because it doesn’t matter for the Russians. No matter if the USSR was good or bad, that Russification is not proof that Russians want to russify their neighbors.

Ah, I misread what you meant, in that case.
