DISINFO: The Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact saved humanity from the global domination of Nazism

SUMMARY

The Non-Aggression Pact between the USSR and the Third Reich became a key factor in the defeat of Hitler. Without this situational agreement, the USSR would have been rapidly destroyed, what would predetermine the global domination of Nazism. The USSR saved humanity – the deciding impact of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact was acknowledged even by the Nazi leaders at the Nuremberg Tribunal. The signing of Pact with the USSR was the biggest calculation mistake of Hitler – it had pre-determined the defeat of the Third Reich in advance.

RESPONSE

This message is part of the Kremlin’s policy of historical revisionism and an attempt to erode the disastrous historical role of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact through statements that the USSR was forced to sign this pact; other European countries signed various international agreements with Adolf Hitler and the Munich Agreement triggered WWII. The signing of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact was a mutual decision of two totalitarian regimes (Nazi Germany and the Stalinist USSR) aimed at the division of Eastern and Central Europe between these two powers. It is a fact that the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact contained the Secret Supplementary Protocol, which assumed the division of Poland and other Eastern European countries between the USSR and Germany. Read similar examples of the Russian historical revisionism concerning this issue such as the Signing of the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact thwarted the UK’s expansionist plans in Europe, The Molotov-Ribbentrop pact did not violate the rights of the Polish state, The shift of all blame for WWII outbreak at the Ribbentrop-Molotov pact the best example of manipulation of history.
