Maybe, but those specific targets were more often than not killed. So yeah, people who survived may say the russians were worse because you can't ask a dead jew who they thought were worse. The Germans killed 36x as many people during the occupation. Yeah the soviets taking your shit and trying to suppress your culture and autonomy sucks but that's better than the Germans doing the same while sending a good chunk of the population to death camps

Again, I think that perspective is more shaded by the more recent soviet occupation after the war. If the nazis won and implemented their full lebensraum plans for Poland, nobody would be saying the russians were worse.
