Germans were historically decent rulers while russians were always terrible. Besides the countries recently had won their independence that russia made a legal contract to uphonor. Few years later they invaded and annexed them and instantly started committing atrocities.
There was nobody fighting russians but the nazis and nazis lied they would gurantee independence once the war is over.
Speaking as a baltic guy, for us the best rulers were swedes. We have been ruled by swedes, danes, russians, germans and poles. And we only have one saying here “good old swedish times”.
Yes swedish golden age was a thing but swedes haven’t been in their “crimes against humanity and invasions” phase for a while, so I didnt feel like they were relevant to mention.

In Poland we do learn about the Swedish Deluge, but I think these days people mostly think of swedes in terms of meatballs and furniture.
They did have their callback to Viking times, that’s for sure.
