Or has actually studies the history of the period and come to understand that the MR was necessary, and the correct move to buy time to fight against fascism after every European power had rejected an anti-Nazi alliance, hoping Hitler would awaken the USSR enough that the Allied Capitalist Powers could then crush both.
TLDR: a temporary 10 year compromise with fascists was deemed necessary.
Stalin: "I can compromise with them."
USSR: finds a way to stall the fascists with a gun to its head
The rest of Europe: happily supports the fascists when they think they can use them as an attack dog against socialism, only sees a problem when the dog shits on the carpet.
