Anatol Lieven is right.....He might also have added that the Poles consistently shot down any anti military pact against Germany by refusing Soviet troops transit through Poland.....They never altered that position even after Munich........

...well most of the 1930's Polish-Czech relationships where very poor, and when the war was coming cloaser bouth Poland and Czech looked for allys, so you might say this was an act of politeness from the Czech to Poland, or maybe they just didnt want that to fall into Nazi hands (the same did Poland with the Vilnus district in september 1939, giving it to Lithuania, with eventualy was pressed into the USSR) sadly most historians today do not remember it or do not want to remember it.

Actually he did not. He lost and communism was triumphant for the following 45 years.

communism could have advanced farther west if hitler didn't grind down the communist war machine and raise the western allied armies.

The report is very biased, as other people pointed out.
I also wonder though, wouldn't Stalin have had a WORSE reputation than Hitler at the time? Would it not have been more likely that the british and french would've allied with Hitler to take down Stalin? Stalin clearly had his own psychotic motives behind this move, motives that the report fails to mention.
