what all east europeans know is: the soviet union did not "liberate" them, it was just a regime change. all across eastern europe until the end of the 50s, there were extremly large fronted continuation wars. around a million troops were still fighting guerilla wars, until the late 1950s, which was even after the dead of stalin. today, the resistances are honoured, tho controversial, as example the ukrainian insuregent army in the ukraine and the forest brothers in the baltics.
