tried to conquer eastern Europe, failed

How so if it was indeed occupied for years?

Germany occupied Poland for years. Doesn't make it theirs.

But that was never the subject of the discussion. The USSR, and the Russian Empire before it, did successfully conquer Eastern Europe. That's a historical fact. Whether you agree that this conquest made that land rightfully theirs is another topic, in which I have no interest.
