  1. Agreement called for a joint invasion of Poland, for some reason, the Soviets didn't do that. Perhaps do they could claim to be the saviors of the Poles from the nasty Nazis, but don't mention the Katyn Forest massacres of anti-communist Poles No excuse csn be provided for the invasions of Finland and the Baltic Nations. By the way, there were mass murders of anti-communists in the Baltic Nations and forced relocation of "untrustworthy populations. By the way following WWII, the Ukrainians waged a guerilla war against the Soviets until 1955. There were also o n going guerilla operations in the Baltics until the late 40's at least. You mentioned the Openness policy that went on immediately before the Soviet Union's disdolution; this paralleled a stalin program in the late 20's and early 30's. Stalin wanted money, technology and investment. He promised openness and encouraged political enemies to return. What the West actually got was Soviet industrial espionage and outright spying; tbe recruitment of communist spies (Cambridge spy ring for example). Eventyually the sying was disclosed and the initiative closed. Anyone stupid enough to come back to Russia ended up dead or in a gulag. Sa lot of. Points missed.

  2. Ccording to the facts zimperial Rusxia actually shared a large share of the blame for WWI. The Pan Slavic Movement headquartered in Moscow was funding pro-Slavic movements in Austrian territory using serbia as a go between. The assasein who killed the Crown Duke and fh8s wife was a member of one of the movements being supported. Serbia felt that it could refuse Austro-Hungarian demands. Thus the flash point occurred.
