Took the biggest hit fighting against the Nazis and liberated both more people and land area from Hitler, and killed more Nazis in total, is “incompetent” to them?
Not to play the devil’s advocate here (because fuck that anti-soviet nonsense), but Stalin has authorized things like ordering partisans to burn down places where Nazis were quartered. Comparatively, many proper strategic victories were achieved by the generals (i.e. operation Bagration).
Now does that justify the hatred Reddit harbours against the man? No. But I would argue that it makes the topic more nuanced.
