That really depends on how you look at it. By that argument, to Ukrainians, the Nazis were the liberators. The Soviets had starved millions of Ukrainians in the Holodomor, and many, including the infamous Stepan Bandera, erroneously saw the Nazis as liberators. Thing is, liberation requires actually being free afterwards. Neither the Nazis nor the Soviets were liberators. They just replaced another oppressor.

And sure, the Nazis were even worse, but we should really stop pretending that the Soviet occupation was great.

The Nazis murdered millions of people in Ukraine. They were only "liberators" to the minority of fascist collaborators: primarily the OUN B.

The Soviets were nothing like the Nazis at all. The Nazis would have murdered virtually everyone in Eastern Europe.
