> The Russians, invaded twice by Germany in the 20th century

This is entirely correct, however it also hides Soviet intent.

They had tried hard with Germany without result. It wasn’t an invasion, but they were interfering and trying to achieve Revolution.

Fun fact, in the beginning of the revolution, Lenin was send to russia by the german army command, in a special army train to destabilize russia. History is ironic.
