No they literally did not. The molotov-ribbentrop pact is declassified you can go and read it. It said nothing about a joint invasion.

Thank you for the explanation, here I was thinking Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia coincidentally co-invaded Poland by happenstance.

Invasions take months of planning. The Nazis were planning on invading not the soviets. The molotov-ribbentrop pact was signed 2 weeks before the Nazis invaded and signed 1 week before by the supreme Soviet.

Of course I'm sure you would've rather all of Poland go to the Nazis when they capitulated.

So the Soviets didn't sign a treaty with Hitler to split Poland between them?

Here I was thinking signing an alliance with Adolf Hitler to invade a country together was something vile enough anyone could easilly condemn, thanks for correcting me!

No. The molotov-ribbentrop pact isn't a secret. It is available. You can literally go and read it.
