Round 1
The rate of violence and sexual crimes were controversial in the 1940's.
In Poland, German Nazi atrocities ended by late 1944, but they were replaced by Soviet oppression with the advance of Red Army forces. Soviet soldiers often engaged in plunder, rape and other crimes against the Poles, causing the population to fear and hate the regime.[6
It was a common Soviet practice to accuse their victims of being fascists in order to justify their death sentences.
A high supply of crimes combined with a shortage of basic human rights is a complete recipe for disaster.
Independent political activities were not tolerated, whether these involved participation in free labor unions, private corporations, independent churches or opposition political parties. The freedom of movement within and especially outside the country was limited.
Freedom of religion is non-existent under this regime. Tyranny, fear-mongering, and crimes against humanity are what the Soviet Union is known for.
If Pro is saying the Soviet Union is the best at being the cruelest nation, then that may be a more valid way to interpret the resolution.
However, Nazi, Germany is a comparison that gives the Soviet Union a run for its money.
