  3.  @КонстантинСаченко-о3й  Stalin began to take measures to protect the USSR, in fact from the entire Europe?? Are you serious?? Is that what you learn in Russian schools? You can search the internet for the numbers, it is well known (unless you are in censored Russia). Side switching: Hitler broke the pact between them in 1941, then Soviet of course switched side and became one of the Allied. (Most of Europe had fought the Nazis for 2 years already) I think you forgot to mention the secret pact in the Molotov/Ribbentrop: To divide Europe between them. Germany the West and Soviet the East. One week after the pact was signed, Hitler attacked Poland from the West and one week later Soviet invaded from the East. Then they took Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia. German planners in April and May 1939 feared massive oil, food, rubber and metal ore shortages without Soviet help in the event of a war. They discussed prior hostilities between the countries in the 1930s and addressed their common ground of anti-capitalism, stating "there is one common element in the ideology of Germany, Italy and the Soviet Union: opposition to the capitalist democracies," "neither we nor Italy have anything in common with the capitalist west" and "it seems to us rather unnatural that a socialist state would stand on the side of the western democracies." The Germans explained that their prior hostility toward Soviet Bolshevism had subsided with the changes in the Comintern and the Soviet renunciation of a world revolution. The Soviet official at the meeting characterized the conversation as "extremely important." Germany and the Soviet Union signed the agreement in August 1941, providing for the trade of certain German military and civilian equipment in exchange for Soviet raw materials. The agreement provided for roughly 200 million in Soviet imports of raw materials (for which they would receive a seven-year line of credit), German exports of weapons, military technology and civilian machinery. Like I said, one week after the pact was signed, Hitler attacked Poland from the West and one week later Soviet invaded from the East. You should read more history instead of Russian propaganda!
