World War II began 80 years ago this month, when Nazi Germany & the Soviet Union collaborated in the invasion of Poland. 
The two totalitarian powers were allies for nearly two years. In that time the Nazis conquered Denmark, Norway, Belgium, Holland & France, and bombed much of London into rubble.
During the same period, the USSR invaded Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia and waged terrible war against Finland.
Not until June 1941, when Hitler invaded the USSR, did Moscow finally joined the West. Many Soviet soldiers would die in the war against Nazi Germany. But never forget: Hitler & Stalin jointly started WW2 by invading Poland, and are to blame for all the horror that followed.
