And alot of those very same people had already sent sons, brothers, fathers, uncles, (Many of these people actually did their bit for the Stalin Govt. and fought as Partisans themselves) into that meat grinder. Some never even knew if their beloved had survived or died....then they had to face their OWN Government when the territory was "Liberated" I just finished the book "ivan's War" a great book on the subject from the Russian perspective.....from Civilians to soldiers, Partisans to "traitors" (those Soviet citizens who willingly joined the German cause, and either actually fought against their homeland, or aided the German Army in a support role)
Stalin even made a scene at one of the big 3 conferences to get "OST" unit soldiers back from the Allies......(Basically so he could "Punish" (Gulags, Death camps, executions,and outright murder according to some sources) them for straying from the fold)
