The non-aggression pact that was signed well after Nazi germany had signed pacts with Britain and France? The one that was signed after Stalin's pleas for an alliance against Hitler's Germany fell on deaf ears because Western powers were still dreaming that Germany would attack the USSR first and succeed where they'd failed immediately after the 1917 revolution? That one?

Historically illiterate westerners read a single fucking line and memorize it and think that's an earth-shattering gotcha like we haven't seen your cookie cutter shit a hundred times. Serious socialists who actually read history can contextualize history, and I'll repeat it: fuck anyone who diminishes the sacrifices of the Soviet Union against the Nazi tide, it's barely notch above outright holocaust denial.

all anti-fascist literature was removed from libraries along with general line of censorship to praise nazis after the pact.

Back up your claims with a serious source. I'm sure such a comically extraordinary claim will have hard evidence behind it and not just a vibe.

You do know that the USSR signed a trade deal with Nazi Germany even in 1940, right? When the rest of the world was already blockading Nazi Germany for... being Nazi's. In fact, in 1940 the Soviet Union delivered about 75% of Nazi Germany's imports, mostly in oil & steel. Stalin could've joined that blockade, and not supplied the necessary materials for the Nazi war machine -- but he didn't.

You can acknowledge that, and still acknowledge the USSR took the brunt of the force fighting the Nazi's. It's not a sports game, you don't have to pick sides.
