My mother was born in Ukraine and I heard MANY stories of MANY people living in the area at the time marching west WITH the retreating german armies to escape Stalin. This is real shit, also historically documented.
I was born in Romania and one popular saying after the war was:
"It was hard with Der, Die, Das, but harder with Davai Ceas"
Davai ceas was the russian soldier greeting to all romanian citizens and it means, loosely translated: "Give me your watch"
In some cases russian officers would be sent ahead of the regular troops to warn all local people to stay indoors and not show their faces to avoid pillageing and raping by the russian troops.
