Polish Catholic Nuns and Priests died in Concentration Camps WWII
In their eagerness to eliminate the Polish culture, both Germans and Soviets tried to destroy another of the pillars of Poland as a Nation: the Catholic religion. In the German zone, thousands of Polish priests and religious were arrested, tortured and sent to jails and concentration camps. Of the 14,000 priests in Poland in 1939, 1,811 were murdered by the Nazis. The Catholic Church has already declared 108 of them martyrs, on the understanding that they were killed because of their faith. Both Germans and Soviets subjected the Catholic clergy and Polish Catholic organizations to harsh persecution. https://justice4poland.com/2019/07/10/polish-catholics-the-great-forgotten-when-talking-about-the-victims-of-the-holocaust/
And between s1917–1935, 130,000 Russian Orthodox priests were arrested; 95,000 were put to death, executed by firing squad.
We must not forget that the Soviet Union is no more. Russia today is a Christian country where the Russian Orthodox Church is the main religion. Like the Nazis and Soviets did in those terrible times, Zelensky is now doing this to Ukrainians who he despises. While he might have Jewish roots, he has fully embraced the worship of Stepan Bandera.

Just stating history is repeating itself.
It is. And we are not learning from our mistakes unfortunately.
