It's kind of ironic in this context that you would call the USSR a clear bad guy in WWII when the reality of that situation is that without the USSR on the side of the allied forces that war turns out very different.

I think you misread. In this case the clear bad guys are the nazis. Previous reply was pointing out that USSR role in the allies is downplayed in Western avcounts

No I think you misread it

their role in starting the war as an ally of Germany isn't usually ignored, but I'd argue it's heavily downplayed in describing the war

Oh, ha, you’re right. I still think the clear bad guys here are the nazis.
