Absolutely,it was brutal.The Nazis viewed all Slavs as sub human and treated them as such,the Russians repaid the favour as they advanced.

I think Obama probably sent Putin a case of champagne for getting him out of the Syrian mess. (if he was able to run again I bet he would think before answering campaign questions in a flippant way that a few years later almost had them on the brink of invading a country)
In the war on the eastern front if you were a Russian you were almost as likely to be murdered in a brutal fashion by your own as you were by the German forces.
Stalin on many occasions would order a line of his own machine gunners to sit just behind the advancing forces, if anyone retreated they would be mown down, their families would be instantly dropped from any state assistance and in some cases they too would be murdered for the perceived cowardice of a loved one.

I also read somewhere that one in three German women were raped as the Soviets advanced,it was so much worse on the Eastern front than what happened on the US & Allies advance.
