The Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact was a non-aggression pact between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union that enabled those two powers to partition Poland between them. The pact was signed in Moscow on 23 August 1939 by German Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop and Soviet Foreign Minister Vyacheslav Molotov and was officially known as the Treaty of Non-Aggression between Germany and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.
The pact was violated on 22 June 1941, when Germany launched Operation Barbarossa and invaded the Soviet Union, in pursuit of the ideological goal of Lebensraum.

There is a Talmudic concept known as מיגו דחשיד אממונא חשיד אשבועתא. If someone is suspect in monetary matters then he is also suspect that he will swear falsely. Stalin שר"י ימ"ש trusted Hitler ימ"ש שר"י and Hitler ימ"ש שר"י trusted Stalin שר"י ימ"ש.
Naive, to say the least.
