BTW, did the West really fear Soviet invasion so much? Thing is, my country is just next to Russia, yet up until 1939 all defence plans were made against German invasion, and Germans didn't t like us either. Of course, in 1939, even before Nazi-Soviet invasion of Poland and Winter war with Finland, there was a big "oh shit" moment, when it became obvious USSR is a threat too, but... one can't defend from all sides at once (Finland at least didn't have that problem, but we were more like Poland - next to Russia and close to Prussia) and it was too late anyway.
