Red Army soldiers molesting a German woman, 1945
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_war_crimes
Sources listed below estimate that at the end of World War II, Red Army
soldiers raped more than 2,000,000 German women and girls, an estimated
200,000 of whom later died from injuries sustained, committed suicide, or
were murdered outright.[35] Estimates of the total number of rape victims
during 1944 and 1945 are as follows: Eastern Provinces: 1,400,000; zone of
Soviet occupation excluding Berlin: 500,000; Berlin: 100,000.[36][37][38]
The 2,000,000 rape victims estimate is also
supported by the research of historian Norman Naimark. In addition, many of
these victims were raped repeatedly, some as many as 60 to 70 times.[26][39]
After the summer of 1945, Soviet soldiers caught raping were usually
punished to various degrees, ranging from arrest to execution.[40] The rapes
continued however until the winter of 1947-48, when the problem was finally
solved by the Russian occupation authorities by confining the Soviet troops
to strictly guarded posts and
camps."[41], completely separating them from the residential population of
Eastern Germany.
