Soviets attacked Poland few days after Nazis and split it exactly as described in peace treaty you mention. Soviets later rolled through Baltic states, Bessarabia and attacked Finland. Exactly as agreed in said peace treaty. While Nazis did their part of the deal in the West.
A big part of Soviet deaths were thanks to utter mismanagement and not paying much attention to human life. Even catastrophes like Leningrad siege may have been avoided (or at least greatly reduced) if Soviets were more humane.
It's a shame to humanity to call USSR a victim of WW2. Not only they started it, but they also took home the most. For a half of Europe, WW2 ended only after the fall of Iron Curtain. After nearly 3 decades, the division is still huge. It will take a long time to get rid of USSR legacy.
Twist it as you like, fact is that Germany started WWII - as you also admit, since the facts you mention fully support that and not your point of view.
What fact? That Nazis and Soviets had a pact on how to split Europe and started WW2 together acting on it? And then had a parade to celebrate splitting Poland?
But yes, technically Nazis started WW2 few days earlier and then Soviets joined in :) I doubt that makes much of a difference.
By the way, just to mess with your mind more... It was Soviets who attacked my country first and started terrorising civilians. Nazis were sort of liberators when they attacked from the other side although they soon turned out not much better. Then Soviets came back, fucked shit up even more and forgot to leave for 50 years. Cool, huh? Sorry, saying that WW2 was Nazi job and claiming that Soviets didn't start it hand-in-hand with Nazis is just a disgrace to thousands for people who died at the hands of either.
Nothing you're saying is new to me, all I wanted is to correct your false statements, which I did.
