The price you had to pay for losing WW2, but you don't think the Berlin wall was the price you had to pay.Nonsense. No German likes to do so. We are pragmatists. We lost war - this was the price we had to pay.
It had been by the way Stalin together with Hitler in the secret part of the Molotow-Ribbentrop pact who started World War 2 by deciding to eliminate the state Poland again. And the expression "Völkermord" (genocide) was the first time in history used from a German poet of the 19th century on reason to criticize Prussia and specially in case of the brutal behavior of the Russians in their part of Poland. The Russains had been much more terrible than the Prussians. They tried to eliminate the Poles.
This makes by the way obsolete the absurde "We are the protective power of all Slaws"-doctrine of the Russians in case of the conflict between Austria-Hungaria and Serbia after Serbs had murdered the heir of the Hungarian and Austrian thrones. The k&k monarchy had been the only power who respected fully "their" Poles who had the same rights as anyone else in the k&k monarchy.
So indeed Russia was a main factor for World War 1 and for World War 2. And I doubt this wars made the world to a better place. So will also not do World War 3 - which is in progress from Russia to be started. The only Russian alternative seems to be to become a part of a worlwide centralistic "Soviet"-empire under one "Soviet"-Czar.
