  Strange that the defensively minded Soso aka Koba aka Comrade Stalin removed Poland as a buffer state by having invaded Poland with the Germans (naturally blame + war was only declared upon Germany) & thus created a common border between the USSR & N.S. Germany. Normally leaders who really don't want war would avoid removing buffers that separate them from their perceived threat/s like Poland was before Molotov-Ribbentrop, but this is comrade Stalin! Logic & reality simply don't apply. His actions weren't what they were, & Hitler was truly "insanity" & "evil" incarnate (& child trannyism is wholesome & healthy, as is single motherhood & "no fault" divorce & if ya disagree, stop believing your lying eyes & ears and smack yourself in the face for being such a "bigot" ya bigot).

  “We are fifty or a hundred years behind the advanced countries. We must make good this distance in ten years. Either we do it, or they will crush us.” - Josif Stalin, 1931 Exactly 10 years later, the German Reich broke the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact and invaded the USSR. Had Stalin not commenced the Five Year Plans, increased military production, and doubled the size of the Red Army from 1939-1941, the USSR would’ve been annihilated, and the world subjugated under the Facist darkness.

  I love how people rip on the Molotov Ribbentrop pact when, One: it was not an alliance it was a non aggression pact along with a deal to someday split poland Two: The Soviets had spent Years trying to get the British and French into a cooperative defensive pact against Germany all of which they refused allowing Germany to expand unopposed. Three: The British and French GAVE HITLER AUSTRIA AND CZECHOSLOVAKIA why would the communist assume any different with their guarantees of poland. Four: The Soviets were not in any position to fight the most powerful nation on earth Military at the time. Five: The Germans were already going to invade Poland that is how they invaded 1 day after the Soviets signed the deal and got it through the Supreme Soviet. While it took the Soviets weeks to respond as they did not think they would invade for at least a year or two (I do not if this is accurate please fact check me if wrong). Six: FREE LAND INCLUDING OIL (Iraqi "Freedom" intensifies). Seven: Gave the Soviets the chance to expand their borders to protect against outside threat (Namely Japan and pushing the Finnish border a few KM back). Eight: Gave the Soviets the chance to deal with fascists and "rightists" in government (Tukhachevsky is a perfect example of someone who needed to be executed I would suggest reading about him it is pretty interesting). And Finally Nine: Where was the deal from the Brits or the French for a defensive pact or even a non aggression pact. You can not say that the British or French were not responsible for hitler's rise to power through allowing him to Remilitarize the Rhineland, Anschluss, expand the army, expand the navy, take the Sudetenland, take the entirety of Czechoslovakia, start to ally Italy (whom they also did nothing against in ethiopia), start pulling eastern nations to their side, And then finally the germans send a please do not invade me card to the Soviets in exchange for the Soviets to keep a portion of Poland and THAT is what is criticized. It is not my goal to justify the Soviet Invasion of Poland but to see people rip on the Soviets for it is laughable at best and disappointing at worst.

  I hate to bring it up here but the non aggression pact between the USSR and Germany was not made out of peaceful intentions. It was Poland’s death sentence and Hitler’s insurance policy of no Eastern Front. Until, of course, Germany was mobilized and ready. Then it wasn’t worth the paper it was printed on. Stalin’s greed blinded him.

  As history tells, stalin was warned time and again by the well- wishers of ussr in europe that nazi germany was preparing itself to invade ussr. It was really pathetic for the ussr that stalin did not weigh the warnings properly and depended heavily on non-aggression pact with nazi germany and self- confidence that he would somehow manage the situation. Then came the bolt from the blue on 22nd june, 1041. It is learnt from many historical accounts that the red army was poorly equipped when the nazi invasion began. As a result, lacs of red army men were compelled, despite courageous resistance, to surrender. If stalin and soviet authority could pay more and timely attention to the attention to the warnings, and began properly equipping the red army, the devastating scenario of the first phase of nazi aggression might have been averted to a considerable extent. Yet, it can never be forgotten that the great stalin, afterwards, led in association with versatile generals of the red army and the unimaginably couregeous red army men, the partisans, the comsomol members and the united spirit of soviet people the soviet union to ultimate victory. The mighty soviet red army raised the red flag over reichstag--- the den of nazi imperialism!

  People love to portray WW2 as a war of ideologies, but for the Soviet people it was much more than that. It was a battle for survival, the Slavic and Turkic peoples of the Soviet Union were looked upon as animals in the way of the German peoples Lebensraum, they would be exterminated just as the Jews and Romani were if they did not win. In fact almost 20 million civilians were.

  Stalin was so loved by the people that in EVERY part of Russia and the Baltics the Germans occupied, the people welcomed them as liberators. This was especially true in Ukraine, where over 10 million had staved to death under the collectivization and 5 year plans of Stalin's rapid industrialization ambitions in the 1930's. There was certainly no love for him there.

For my part, I say that the percentage of collaborators from Russia and Ukraine was almost the same. In the Baltic states it was higher because the USSR integrated this region only in 1940. But this does not mean that the majority of residents perceived the German army as liberators. To reach such a conclusion you need evidence.
