    The Soviets plan was to make a non-aggression pact to buy themselves time to not get invaded since they knew that it was coming.

    And as SpookyBogMonster said, they did try to achieve that a decade earlier with the western powers but were rejected.

    This is however besides the point. Stalin was a part of the allies and not upvoting something just because Stalin is present in the picture is dumb.

    The Russian people beat Hitler

    Same goes for the rest of the allied soldiers but hey, it’s Churchill and Franklin we speak of

      Yeah, officially that’s what they did. And they also agreed on which parts of Europe they would each help themselves to.

      You cut out the part where I said Stalin was a yoke around the neck of the Russians.

      He killed a lot of his own best generals. Neither Churchill or FDR did that.
