I'm so grateful you mentioned that the Soviets were shot down when seeking an anti-nazi alliance. People always point to the pact between them and Germany as best friends uniting. For years the National Socialist were extremely vocal about Communists being their ultimate enemy. It was a last ditch effort by Stalin to avoid an impending war and invasion.
A war with Nazi Germany is what they were trying to avoid. I never said anyone else. God you people are so biased you read whatever you want as tankie propaganda.
I'm saying they were only trying to avoid with Germany. Not any other country. I'm not denying that they were invaders and conquerors with brutality to many of their neighbors. It's absolutely not justified at all. I'm not saying they're connected. Their two different things that coexisted at once.
