The world owes Stalin and the people of the USSR a debt that can never be repaid for being the only country to try to stop Nazi Germany before the war and the country which bore the brunt of the casualties and hardship.

Any "socialist" who shit talks them is suspicious as fuck in my book, chauvinist at the very best and probably a snitch.

Khrushchev was an opportunist piece of shit and the world would have been better if he had been kicked out of the party.

You're joking, right? Never heard of the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact? Funny fact: all anti-fascist literature was removed from libraries along with general line of censorship to praise nazis after the pact.

The non-aggression pact that was signed well after Nazi germany had signed pacts with Britain and France? The one that was signed after Stalin's pleas for an alliance against Hitler's Germany fell on deaf ears because Western powers were still dreaming that Germany would attack the USSR first and succeed where they'd failed immediately after the 1917 revolution? That one?

Historically illiterate westerners read a single fucking line and memorize it and think that's an earth-shattering gotcha like we haven't seen your cookie cutter shit a hundred times. Serious socialists who actually read history can contextualize history, and I'll repeat it: fuck anyone who diminishes the sacrifices of the Soviet Union against the Nazi tide, it's barely notch above outright holocaust denial.

all anti-fascist literature was removed from libraries along with general line of censorship to praise nazis after the pact.

Back up your claims with a serious source. I'm sure such a comically extraordinary claim will have hard evidence behind it and not just a vibe.
