As a Pole I find it hard to be thankful, to be honest.
To me, the damning evidence was that Stalin was perfectly happy to collaborate with Hitler and carve out their respective spheres of influence. If Hitler did not attack the USSR there would be nothing to be thankful for. The intention wasn't to defeat fascism, it was to expand their Soviet empire.
And they even got what they wanted after the war, with influence over Eastern Europe and the GDR. And to add salt to injury, at the Nuremberg trials, the Soviets attempted to fabricate German responsibility for the Katyn massacre.
I'm really not sorry for not being thankful.
