Its worth noting that without communism, there is no fascism or National Socialism. In all cases of Fascism they have arisen as a palliative to extreme leftism that developed in Spain and the Soviet Union.
There was a time that Mussolini and Hitler expressed concern about what was going on but much of the western leadership remained silent.
Vidkun Quisling, who met Lev Davidovich Bronshtein with alarm did Stirling work providing food aid to Russian and Baltic people to preserve them against starvation, he might even have made to saint hood if history had fallen to a different course. Quisling wanted a Nordic defence allegiance to protect against Bolshevism and to protect neutrality against interventions from other quarters. He was on the money, there.

Ah, yes, the renown trio of benefactors to humanity: Hitler, Mussolini and Quisling.
It is to commend Hitler's efforts that he managed, between creation of Nuernberng laws, drawing out Long Knives in suitable nights, writing Mein Kampf and creation of camps of joy and education, to express his concern for people in Soviet Union, the people that some less-informed Germans might sometimes think of sub-human. He went out to sign a pact with Stalin (with a proviso of splitting a country of another, someone might call, sub humans) so he might be closer to bring food and justice for people between Baltic and Caspian seas. He even tried to do so, with help of German army, but that somehow didn't pan out. Luckily he did not trade with Stalin pre-war, or I've got that wrong.
Mussolini was so much worried about suffering Slavs (and another people) in early 1920s, so much that he banned all 'silly-sounding Slavic names' in Istria,while forcing them to use Italian names whether they liked it or not. For the die-hards, the concentration camps or internment camps were always available (yes, in 1930s). Mussolini tried to undermine Soviet war-waging capability, by selling them plans for cruisers.
Stating Quisling as an almost-saint is not unlike the strive during last 25 years of trying to rehabilitate Axis collaborators in what was once been Yugoslavia.
It is almost as if Sigfried is un-banned, you know the chap that claimed that Hitler's bunch were hard working and right-minded people, or something alng these lines.
