Again, that's assuming that they actually were attempting communism. The Red Army attacked the Free Territory and re-incorporated it into their territory, despite their socialist structure, while they also signed a Non-Aggression Pact with Nazi Germany, which seems to be against their objectives considering that Nazi Germany were anti-communist and did not want its spread.

This is realpolitik, Ukraine is a valuable territory and signing a NAP with your biggest enemy while that same enemy is killing your other enemies is not a half bad idea. Mao avoided fighting the Japanese to rebuild his manpower and resources while letting the KMT exhaust itself.

While they may be killing other enemies, Nazi Germany also crushed many socialist movements. Of course though, we can't read minds, so we can only interpret their motivations with our own biases.
