Very interesting puzzle. Not specifically difficult, but very intriguing while working on it, and fun. I love that it's something different

Victory Day in Russia is May 9th, which is when Elena submitted these crosswords. Thank you, Elena!

We fail to acknowledge that the Allies helped Russia defeat Hitler rather than the other way around. WWII almost destroyed the Red Army and cost 10's of millions of lives on the eastern front, but a change in leadership and strategy turned the tide even after enormous losses. The entire country--including women--united to become a war machine with many women in the army and 300,000 actually behind the lines.
See this excellent article by the BBC: http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/worldwars/wwtwo/soviet_german_war_01.shtml.
