    That’s what I don’t get, right. The USSR tried to create alliances with the French and the British to address the German threat, but Stalin was basically ignored because Chamberlain and Lebrun were confident that Hitler couldn’t possibly do anything bad (and they were making so much money so things were going well).

    Hitler’s Master Plan literally involved the genocide of Eastern Slavs.

    How did that turn into “the USSR and Nazi Germany were collaborators?”

        Is that an established motivation for the French/British stonewalling of Stalin? If so, then fuck… That puts things in an entirely different light. I thought that France and Britain were simply operating out of self-interest.
