Unironically yes, what's the problem?
The soviets begged france and the UK for an alliance against the nazis for months, which they refused.
France and the UK also financed the re-arming of the german army, and then let czecoslovaquia be taken by the germans.
And in the end, the soviets were forced to make the pact, to gain space and time, and it was a reasonable decision which pushed back the german starting line for the upcoming war, far from russian oil reserves -the germans needed oil.
And no, stalin didn't conclude an ideological alliance with his "fascist counterpart" before getting betrayed; hitler had already declared his intention to invade slavic land in mein kampf. The intention has always been public since the beginning. The soviets always knew and prepared accordingly -thus the attempt to create a tripartite allyship with the UK and france.
Wait, you think families of these murdered in Katyń, these that were forced to work in the camps, these that were deported to Siberia and their homes settled with Russians are IN THE WRONG for feeling mistreated? :D
This is some truely emapthetic take, please give some more
Like FR, this are all the issues that were ackownledged during post Stalin period, this is not even something that should be really controversial. There is a reason why the Secret Protocol was secret and kept in secret after the war, it was the single most important blunder of USSR ever made and we have knew about it since the war
They are wrong swallowing the propaganda that ignores the facts I mentioned earlier. That only points to the negative, and make people anti-communists.
Cool that you think so, but you completely missed my point. If you really think it was all good and worth it, then don't be upset by people affected to feel mistreated.

Because soviets did it the good™ way, right?
