Stalin and Hitler were good buddies till they decided to backstab one another:

Last time I checked England and France haven't invanted Poland and split it beetween themselves and Germany in 1939. Soviet Union did.

 

Czechoslovakia says hi.

As for poor Poland, it blocked all attempts and proposals of Russia to defend Czechs (and France later). Not to dismiss role of UK/USA in puppeting Polish elites ofc, but Poland was more than willing to took a piece from CZ and so they did after Munich. They really were far from being innocent victim, more like fate brought them proper punishment for their own actions. It's only pity that it was our brothers Polish common folks who suffered most while lots of Šlėkta were drinking beer in safety of Albion.

And yet poor splitted Poland managed to finish WW2 with more territories than it had before war and which they happily kept so far. Oh, irony.

Guess who gave orders to attack Czechoslovakia? Yes you guessed right those orders came from Moscow.

And noone would be stupid enough to accept "help" from Soviet Union and risk that those "helpfull" "friendly" forces never leave their borders.

 

Only thing which separates Soviet Union from Nazi Germany is that Nazis murdered people because of their race and Soviets murdered people because they don't wanted communism and slightly diffrent method of performing genocide by sending people to their Siberia work camps where everyone died in few years due to inhuman conditions instead of concetration camps. Oh and Nazis commited less crimes against their own German people than Soviets against their own common folk.
