The Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact divided Poland between Russia and Nazi Germany. That is a historical fact. Stalin and Hitler agreed in advance which part of Poland would be Russian, and which parts German. The Polish border forces in the east put up a defence against the Russian invasion. But as most of the Polish army were fighting in the west against the Germans, it was a case of little more than 20,000 Polish fighting a Russian invasion force made up of 7 armies (anything over half a million men). The day after the Soviet invasion started, the Polish government crossed into Romania.  By Russia's own accounts, they suffered 737 deaths and 1,862 casualties during the joint invasion of Poland. On the Polish side, 3,000–7,000 soldiers died fighting the Red Army, with 230,000–450,000 taken prisoner. That last figure is important, because if this was not a Russian invasion, why did the Russians take prisoners of war? And as we know, the Russians killed tens of thousands of Polish prisoners of war. On 24 September, the Soviets killed 42 staff and patients of a Polish military hospital in the village of Grabowiec, near Zamosc. The Russians also executed all the Polish officers they captured after the Battle of Szack, on 28 September 1939. And, of course, over 20,000 Polish military personnel and civilians were murdered by the Russians in the Katyn massacre. In fact, so brutal and savage were the Russian NKVD, that even the Gestapo were shocked. And many Polish, including Jews, fled into German occupied Poland to escape the Russians. During the two years following the annexation, the Russians arrested approximately 100,000 Polish citizens. And the number of Polish deported to Siberia amounted to (Russia's own figures) anything from 320,000 to 1 million. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NKVD_prisoner_massacres By the way, Russia wasn't expelled from the League of Nations over its invasion of Poland, because it wasn't a member. It had already been expelled from the League due to its invasion of Finland. And while it is true that the Polish Government did not declare war on the invading Russians (how could they, as the Polish government ceased to exist a day after the Russian invasion?), the Russians didn't declare war on Poland either. Yet they still invaded Poland.
