Obviously, because being the target of a genocide 80 years ago gives you a free pass to do whatever you want forever. Russia’s problem is that they’ve never been hit with a genocide themselves, so they don’t get a free pass. /S
That wasn’t a genocide, though, at least on the Nazis’ part, it was just war… (now, Stalin deciding who to send to that meat grinder could have been a tad genocidal, but if I recall correctly they practically ended up sending anyone available, so probably not…)

You know, all things aside, it’s kinda sad people don’t even remember anymore that the Nazis weren’t just after Jews.
It’s funny that, if it was a numeric question, more Russians died in WW2 than Jews.
Haven’t they hit themselves with genocides about half a dozen times or so in their history…?
“And then things got worse” and all that…
Or do you only get a free pass if the genocide wasn’t self inflicted…?
They ironically got hit with a genocide from the same people who did it to the Jews. Twenty-seven million dead at the hands of the nazis.

The majority of the deaths were civilians.
But if you want to get hyper-technical, communists were among those sent to the camps in Hitler’s purges.
Genociding yourself is an internal matter, even if you invade first so it becomes part of your country and then start the genociding.
Naming no names. You know who
