Paint it any way you wish however the truth of the matter remains that with the withdrawal of the German troops came a whole slew of refugees. They were afraid of the Red Army and the local populations that were hell bent on settling the score from the period of Nazi occupation. This was happening in every country that was occupied not only in Poland or Ukraine. Many of these people eventually settled in Canada. And here they are now influencing our foreign policy through their diaspora politics and misplaced loyalties. One could say that the whole Cold War era was perpetuated with the help of these Russia haters.
