Can someone please recommend me some reading or watching that isn't entirely infused with cold war rancor towards the USSR?

These guys also make great weekly videos about WW2, “in real time”

They're unabashed anticommunist shitlibs, though (especially Spartacus), to the point where they unironically cite Robert Conquest as a source. I remember someone pointing out how hypocritical (and borderline Nazi-enabling) their condemnation of the Soviet Union was, only for the channel account to go on a tirade about muh human rights 100 gillion dead and ban the "extremist". I will give it to them that they don't make claims like the Soviets were just as bad or killed more than the Nazis, but that's because the bar for lib pop historians is abyssal.

That said, yeah, their format for covering the war is great if you're willing to mentally block out the usual shitlibbery.
