    You’re wrong on two key points:

    1. USSR and Nazi Germany only made a nonaggression act after other Western countries did because Western powers purposefully did not invite the USSR. It was a way to try to protect Czechslovakia and Poland since the Westerns were simply giving up Central Europe to the Nazis. You can read more about it here.

    2. The famine in the USSR was not a genocide. That is Nazi propaganda. Read about it here.

      Even if you exclude holomodor, to quickly quote wikipedia, even soviet leaders agreed that Stalin was committing genocide

      “On 26 April 1991 the Supreme Soviet of the Russian Socialist Federal Soviet Republic, under its chairman Boris Yeltsin, passed the law On the Rehabilitation of Repressed Peoples with Article 2 denouncing all mass deportations as “Stalin’s policy of defamation and genocide.””

      And how exactly were they “protecting Poland”? Sticking it in the mouth while Adolf was grinding the rear?

        The USSR entered Poland to protects its borders the day after every official fled and abandoned the country. There was no longer a Poland in any sense. The USSR is the one that liberated and reestablished Poland. How do you not know the basic facts of something you’re talking about holy shit
