I meant first thoughts about Russia bringing it up. My first thoughts about the atrocities happened a long time ago, when I first heard about them.

Russia didn't "bring it up", they released the documents from their archives. So no, you didn't hear about them long ago.

Nothing they're bringing up is news, though. It's just further details about stuff we already knew about. I'm sure historians will value the documents but it's not like we didn't know about that they did horrible shit before.
