The thing they always do in movies where the revolutionary does some arbitrary evil thing to show that actually they’re worse than the status quo factions.
I recently replayed CoD: world at war and the game is absolutely obsessed with showing soviet war crimes against wehrmacht soldiers - every level had some set piece depicting mass executions. This wasn’t done to the same extent in levels where you play as western allies. Everyting to make soviets less sympathetic I guess
world at war is actually decent compared to enemy at the gates. The red army is depicted as a powerful and efficient war machine. It’s just these little bits of propoganda they keep inserting into levels that are annoying
The funny part is that it fundamentally fails to be anti-Soviet propaganda because the game also makes it clear that these are Nazis and they deserve it. I don’t think I’ve ever heard of a person who finished that campaign and decided the reds were the bad guys.

Mom can we get depictions of the Red Army in our ww2 stories?
We already have those at home.
The depictions: Enemy at the Gates
