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.
lol the guy with glasses ofc didnt mention that 1stly it was the Czechoslovakia who invaided the Polish "Zaolzie" district, Poland took it back, but not in the way he mantioned (ofc it can be refered to it, cos the timing was nearly the same when participated Czechslovakia, but this returning of Zaolzie back to Poland was made on a pack between Poland and Czechoslovakia (there is even a vid on youttube about it) why would they give it back? ...
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.
ofcourse but Stalin's Institutions wernt as popular as im sure you can imagine, they use to transfer people in bread trucks to keep it o ut of the mainstream media. for some reason i dont think they knew at the time how bad stalin was.
