It’s the thought that the Red Army raped its way through Europe. It feels like Nazi apologia, but I would like some hard historical evidence to disprove it. Can somebody help me with this?

Thank you for your time, and have a nice Victory Day!

    It’s hard to prove that a thing didn’t happen. The burden of proof is normally on the person making the claim. What evidence is there for any kind of mass rape?

    On the other hand, there is direct evidence of Stalin ordering his troops not to commit rape under penalty of death. The west likes to pretend that Stalin used murder and prison indiscriminately, but that he simultaneously was just joking about the no rape thing. Insert Parenti quote here.
