Soviet war crimes

Soviet War Crimes are things that the Soviet Union (a big country in the middle of Europe and Asia that used to exist between 1922 and 1991) did wrong during a war, usually hurting civilians and breaking laws. Sometimes, the Soviets killed people without a proper trial or without good reason. Sometimes they made people do things they didn't want to do. They also took away the rights of people and caused a lot of destruction. All of this is wrong, and when countries do these kinds of things during a war, it is called a War Crime.
