To my complete unsurpirse, the RT-piece says nothing about the completely unprovoked and unwarranted assault on Finland, or what the Grand Plan behind it was.
Needless to say, as well as irrespective of Germany's attack on Poland on 1 Sept. 1939, no mention is made of the Soviet attack two and half weeks later--on Poland, ironically. The same applies to the Katyn massacre, which the Soviet prosecutors™ in Nuremberg initially blamed on the Germans. The same, of course, applies to the Soviet take-over of the Baltic states in summer 1940.
As to the Grand Plan, I presume you mean their world revolutionary zeal?
The plan was to sweep through Finland all the way to the coast, then on through Sweden and into Norway, making it next to impossible for a hostile force to assault the Northern front of the Soviet Union, and if one did, then the majority of the fighting would be fought on other nations territory.
Also, this would secure lots of resources for Stalin's armies, and deprive his enemies of them. The Soviets initially considered a German-British-American anti-communist alliance a dangerous possibility, given the British and American support to the White armies, Britain's use of poison gas on Russian civilians, exiled or fled Russians' lobbying (especially Russian jews in the USA was a concern given that their brethren were entrenched in the halls of power) against the Soviet Union, and the NSDAP's obvious anti-bolsjevik propaganda.
It remained the Soviet plan throughout the Cold War, to establish a nothern front, ideally reaching Iceland which was to be fortified as a forward nuclear weapon launch-facility.
Well, this is certainly interesting to encounter. Back when I indulged in writing tumblr poetry I reluctantly titled one of the poems ‘After Auschwitz’ https://www.tumblr.com/nonapologia/171643996271/after-auschwitz, yet I was completely unaware of Adorno’s maxim when I did so. Some evidence for the action of the collective unconscious.
Of course other people have done this, probably more consciously, https://allpoetry.com/After-Auschwitz but I think I prefer my version, because the published poet has certainly gone all-in on the spirit of Adorno’s maxim being that no should ever be allowed to enjoy anything ever again.
'It turns out that the prisoners wrote poetry in the camp, memorizing it or writing it down illegally on loose sheets of paper or in notebooks. It was their “silent cry,” and at the same time, a prayer and a kind of testament – wrote Joanna Ziembińska-Kurek in her preface to the publication of the “Notebook”.
The poems in the “Notebook” were written down by an Auschwitz prisoner, Bożena Janina Zdunek (née Musiewicz), who lived in Sweden after the war. The entries were made in the camp and for this reason the “Notebook” is unique in the collection of the Auschwitz Museum. It was donated by Bożena Zdunek's son, Prof. Bogusław Adam Zdunek.
If a poem was found on a prisoner, it resulted in severe punishment. The specific situation in which the works were created, the fear of exposure, death of the author — they all make it very difficult if not impossible to determine the authorship of many poems written in the extermination camps – explained Joanna Ziembińska-Kurek. We know, however, that the authorship of some works can be attributed to Krystyna Żywulska and Tadeusz Borowski.'
Now, that doesn't render what went on in the camps any less barbaric and despicable; it does go a long way showing the human spirit and, yes, that even under the greatest of pressures. Incidentally, there are also many pieces of writing written in the Soviet camps, for which I'll cite but two links:
I'm by no means equating one with the other barbaric régimes; I'm merely bringing it up to indicate the hypocrisy of Adorno and his (Marxisante-revolutionary) ilk.

Well, tell me what I may not speak about (in Russia--that would be the USSR) to figure out the true problem/issue at-hand.

As to the poetry aspect, well, here's a curious thing--inmates in Auschwitz were writing poems while there (via https://books.auschwitz.org/en_US/p/The-Notebook-with-the-Poems-from-Auschwitz-Haftet-med-dikterna-fran-Auschwitz-Zeszyt-z-wierszami-z-Auschwitz-/706):
