Stalin and Hitler were especially firm believers in the principle that evil
is merely a question of perspective, and thus any nation that got in the
way of mass murder, notably the US, was, by their theory, especially
evil. Indeed Stalin made "objectivism" a thought crime, punishable by
death. By "objectivism" he meant the belief that truth was a matter of
fact, rather than authority.
