you mean this agreement with the Nazis?
The Munich Agreement was a settlement permitting Nazi Germany's annexation of portions of Czechoslovakia along the country's borders mainly inhabited by German speakers, for which a new territorial designation, the "Sudetenland", was coined. The agreement was signed in the early hours of 30 September 1938 (but dated 29 September) after being negotiated at a conference held in Munich, Germany, among the major powers of Europe, excluding the Soviet Union
The help to my country was, and I am grateful for this, please see my posts on this forum.
you probably remember which country organized the first concentration camps in the
Second Boer War?
For you, propaganda is all that does not match your opinion
I do not consider my country to be a saint, and I admit that there were terrible mistakes
The agreement
@Pretorian is talking about is this one:
On August 23, 1939–shortly before World War II (1939-45) broke out in Europe–enemies Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union surprised the world by signing the German-Soviet Nonaggression Pact, in which the two countries agreed to take no military action against each other for the next 10 years. With Europe on the brink of another major war, Soviet leader Joseph Stalin (1879-1953) viewed the pact as a way to keep his nation on peaceful terms with Germany, while giving him time to build up the Soviet military. German chancellor Adolf Hitler (1889-1945) used the pact to make sure Germany was able to invade Poland unopposed. The pact also contained a secret agreement in which the Soviets and Germans agreed how they would later divide up Eastern Europe. The German-Soviet Nonaggression Pact fell apart in June 1941, when Nazi forces invaded the Soviet Union.

The
Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact, also known as the
Nazi–Soviet Pact, the
German–Soviet Non-aggression Pact or the
Nazi German–Soviet Pact of Aggression (officially:
Treaty of Non-aggression between Germany and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics), was a
neutrality pact between
Nazi Germany and the
Soviet Union signed in
Moscow on 23 August 1939 by
foreign ministers Joachim von Ribbentrop and
Vyacheslav Molotov, respectively. The pact was followed by the
German-Soviet Commercial Agreement in February 1940.
The pact delineated the
spheres of interest between the two powers, confirmed by the supplementary protocol of the
German–Soviet Frontier Treaty amended after the joint
invasion of Poland. It remained in force for nearly two years, until the German government of
Adolf Hitler ended the pact by launching an attack on the Soviet positions in Eastern Poland during
Operation Barbarossa on 22 June 1941.
The clauses of the Nazi-Soviet Pact provided a written guarantee of
non-belligerence by each party towards the other, and a declared commitment that neither government would ally itself to, or aid, an enemy of the other party. In addition to stipulations of non-aggression, the treaty included a secret protocol that divided territories of
Poland,
Lithuania,
Latvia,
Estonia,
Finland, and
Romania into German and Soviet "
spheres of influence", anticipating "territorial and political rearrangements" of these countries. Thereafter,
Germany invaded Poland on 1 September 1939. Soviet Union leader
Joseph Stalin ordered the Soviet invasion of Poland on 17 September, one day after a Soviet-Japanese ceasefire at the
Khalkhin Gol came into effect. In March 1940, parts of the
Karelia and
Salla regions in Finland were annexed by the Soviet Union after the
Winter War. This was followed by Soviet
annexations of Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and parts of
Romania (
Bessarabia, Northern
Bukovina, and the
Hertza region). Advertised concern about ethnic Ukrainians and Belarusians had been proffered as justification for the Soviet invasion of Poland. Stalin's invasion of Bukovina in 1940 violated the pact, as it went beyond the Soviet sphere of influence agreed with the Axis.

In my humble opinion, there is enough guilt, blame and horror to go around many parties. Stalinism and Nazism while being at different ends of the spectrum, were failed ideologies that resulted in the murders of millions.
