    Russia was an ally of Germany via their non-aggression pact of 1939 until Germany tried to invade them and ended the alliance in 1941. Not a very long lived alliance, but it tells a little more of the story.

        Molotov ribbentrop pact is a bit more than non-agression.

        They also shared technology for tanks, traded vast amounts of raw materials and split poland in two.
