    The USSR also tried to form alliances with the Allies but we’re rejected. Nazi Germany was very much their last choice despite being invaded by many of the Allies during the Russian Civil War

      yes and I wouldn’t really say nazi germany was a “choice” for an ally, or even an “ally,” the soviets were, again, stalling, buying time, and pretty much knew germany was eventually going to invade them, since hitler had spent the previous 19 years screeching into microphones about “judeobolshevism” and “the slavic untermensch” and the need for “lebensraum”
