    Nice job completely ignoring the key difference between the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact and the rest of those agreements: an alignment with Nazi Germany to STEAL LAND! Just like fascist Russia is doing again with Ukraine.

    “Under the Secret Protocol, Poland was to be shared, while Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland and Bessarabia went to the Soviet Union. The protocol also recognized the interest of Lithuania in the Vilnius region. In the west, rumoured existence of the Secret Protocol was proven only when it was made public during the Nuremberg trials”

    You can try to re-write history all you want, but the Soviets/Russians were in alignment with Nazi Germany to further their imperialistic goals.

      The soviets did what was right in order to protect polish jews and their own citizens from the german hordes. The nazi troglodytes made it extremely clear that they were going to attack the Soviet Union and leave nothing but scorched land behind them on their way to Moscow. Which they eventually did. The Soviet Union did the only smart thing at the time, which was to create a buffer zone while they were consolidating their military forces in order to eventually fight back against the germans, instead of just making the libs feel nice and letting the nazis take the entirety of Poland, as they were planning to anyways.

        No they didn’t. They were opportunist imperialists who stole land to build their empire and subjugate people. Stop trying to whitewash the atrocities committed by the Soviet Union.

          Those are no atrocities. The Soviet Union managed to save a ton of jews from the nazi hordes. In fact, most jews that stayed behind died in the Holocaust. The biggest group of jews that survived the holocaust were those deported from the frontlines by the soviets.
