No Smersh. I stated earlier that they had less regard, but not totally no regard for their men, then the western nations. I clarified that later, and if you think with all those examples of not caring a whole lot for the lives of their men, like throwing men massively at machine-gun posts, and all the other reasons I gave, there's nothing that can convince you.

The communists murdered close to as many people, a lot of after the war too, as the Nazis did, and as they were running the government during WWII. It's easy to say, that at least the communists had little regard for their people's lives (or technically less than the westerm powers [excepting Germany] did). I'm sure a lot of non-communists valued life far batter than many a western person did, simply because they saw how easily their relatives could be enslaved or murdered because of their government, but unfortunately they weren't the ones that were manning the NKVD and other such nice people to make sure they did as they were told.

Later.
