Did you finish your book halfway through? Hitler and Stalin formed an alliance shortly after the Spanish civil war. Even though Hitler referred to Slavic people as untermench Stalin still signed treaties because they were at the end of the day both Fascist Authoritarian dictators and dont give a single fuck about committing crimes against humanity.
What do you do when a rabid fascist neighbor is on the rise and the capitalist countries of Europe are not willing to enter a defense alliance? Poland was not friendly towards the USSR, so in the case that the USSR did not divide Poland, Poland would have been completely invaded by Nazi Germany which puts the fascists right at the doorstep of the USSR, which clearly is not an optimal situation.
And you are really lacking any historical knowledge if you call Stalin fascist. The USSR under Stalin did the bulk of the work against fascism in Europe and it is a gross misappropriation to call Stalin or the USSR fascist.
This is so stupid and you provide part of your own refutation. Molotov-Ribbentrop was not an “alliance”, it was a non-aggression pact and an agreement limiting the amount of Poland that the Nazis could invade. Where the Nazis invaded Poland, they committed genocide. Where the Soviets invaded (since Poland refused their earlier offers to ally against Germany), they evacuated the Jewish population from the front lines of the inevitable invasion.
