To this day, Russian espionage operations have a free hand in Austria, with Vienna teeming with FSB/GRU agents and electronic intelligence facilities and the Austrian government being able to do little to impede them due to this treaty. Also, Austrian companies like Svarovski Optik supply the Russian armed forces to this day.
There's a HUGE Soviet war memorial in Vienna, I wandered into the plaza by accident and was like "wtf is this doing here?"
Thanking the “liberators”, ignoring the welcome that Austria gave to Hitler.
The Ukrainian flag painted behind it is a nice touch, if it’s still there.
"liberators"
Why the quotes? The Soviet military deserves credit where it's due when it comes to defending Europe against fascism during WW2
Hitler had a positive approval rating in Austria. It’s like liberating Florida from Trump.
