https://www.quora.com/Why-is-that-only-Nazi-Germany-is-condemned-for-invading-Poland-while-the-Soviet-Union-also-annexed-a-large-portion-of-Poland-and-committed-nearly-half-a-million-troops
1. The USSR did not invade Poland.
Poland has not been. Poland was invaded by Germany.
Since Hitler was not ready to attack the USSR and was afraid that the USSR would be able to harm, he went to the negotiations.
Under an agreement with Germany, the USSR received back its territory, which Poland annexed after the October 1917 Revolution.
That is, the USSR received its territory. Hitler received a temporary rest.
Also, Molotov, the leader of the USSR (not Stalin, namely Molotov), believed that the Germans would probably be prepared for the invasion for a long time.
That is, the USSR troops entered the country that Germany already occupied and the Polish government was no longer in Poland.
On September 17, the Polish government fled.
That is, Poland has already surrendered.
It is important that the USSR needed these territories as an additional buffer zone in case of war with Germany
Inscription – The liberation of the fraternal peoples of Western Ukraine and Western Belarus! September 17, 1939
2. If you look at the history, it was Poland that did not allow the USSR troops to help Czechoslovakia.
That is, the USSR offered Czechoslovakia help, but Poland declared – if so, then we will declare war on the USSR.
Poland’s leader Pilsudski signed many treaties with Germany and assumed that Poland was considered as a partner.
After the invasion of Czechoslovakia, Poland annexed the Zaolzie, territories around Suchá Hora and Hladovka, around Javorina, and in addition the territory around Lesnica in the Pieniny Mountains, a small territory around Skalité and some other very small border regions. This was the bone that Hitler threw.
If the USSR could help Czechoslovakia, Hitler’s army would have already been defeated.
Accordingly, Hitler’s army would not be able to use the most modern Czechoslovak weapons and equipment.
After the seizure of Czechoslovakia, Hitler armed 3 million new soldiers with Czechoslovak weapons and Czechoslovak weapons factories began to work on him.
Note that between Czechoslovakia and Britain and France there was an agreement on assistance in case of an attack.
But Britain and France say Czechoslovakia give up.
It is interesting that after the surrender of Czechoslovakia, British banks issue all Czechoslovak state gold. That is, all give Hitler.
3. Why did the leader of the USSR, Molotov, begin to conclude an agreement with Germany?
It is important that the USSR entered into a non-aggression pact with Germany as the last .
What countries and when did they conclude agreements and treaties with Hitler:
1933 – Great Britain, France, Italy – pact of four
1934 – Poland – Hitler-Pilsudski Pact
1935 – Great Britain – maritime agreement
1936 – Japan – Anti-Comintern Pact
1938 – September, United Kingdom – non-aggression declaration
1938 – December, France – declaration of non-aggression
1939 – March, Romania – economic agreement
1939 – March, Lithuania – non-aggression pact
1939 – May, Italy – pact of union and friendship
1939 – May, Denmark – non-aggression treaty
1939 – June, Estonia – non-aggression pact
1939 – June. Latvia – non-aggression pact
1939 – August, USSR – non-aggression pact
But everyone only talks about the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact!
Molotov assumed that trick was needed.
Roosevelt specifically enough said that if the USSR suffered a preliminary and first strike on Germany, then the United States would help Germany.
The USSR did not want war on two fronts.
Poland was viewed by Germany as a temporary loose change for the USSR.
