Like in all wars. Stalin, maybe an even bigger murderer than Hitler, still is seen as one of the good guys in WO 2.

I never got why the army attacked civilians when in almost all great bombings of WO 2 there was knowledge that there were almost only civilians. Attacking of civilians is maybe a way of invoking fear in the enemy forces... Don't know.

Too be honest, I don't think Putin has that much power anymore. The new russian president is trying to repair the russian connection with other countries, althought I have to admit this is a strange way.

Civilians always die in war and most of the time it's because they are in the wrong place at the wrong time. I really don't think that any of the 2 forces will go and kill civilians on sight, because both of the countries have a lot to lose in a political way.
