That paper just goes over how public opinion shaped negotiations between the USSR and the Western Powers. Even then the USSR was attempting to effectively annex the Baltic states as a condition for an alliance against Nazi Germany, so take your totalitarian apologia elsewhere.
It… demonstrates the efforts in 1939 to oppose Nazi Germany. Those failed efforts are kind of what led to the in/famous Molotov Ribbentrop Pact. It is like… basic context for studying the time period.
“The efforts to oppose Nazi Germany” is a funny way of saying “The Soviets checking which side would offer them more land to ethnically cleanse”. But hey, I guess inhabitants of the Baltics aren’t real people.
I don’t think I so much advocated any approach other than the one that recognizes a historical event happened.
I think at the very least anyone reading this should be capable of looking it up and learning about it. Shouldn’t be anything to fear from that now, eh?

Meme: “The SovUnion’s opposition to the Nazis in 1939 was paltry.”
You: “Well, that’s a little inaccurate. They asked the West for an alliance.”
Me: “The conditions for that alliance was the effective annexation of the Baltic states, which they would later perform ethnic cleansing on, and in the end, they sided with Nazi Germany because the West was willing to give them an alliance, but not at the cost of the Baltic States.”
You: “Well, I was just pointing out the alliance offer happened.”
Uh-huh.

Certainly not. Happily, the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact is well-known in the modern day.

As a part of what now? Attempts by the Soviet Union to form an alliance with Britain and France in 1939? Correct, thank you for the confirmation.
So, shopping around for who will offer you the better genocide deal is “opposing” the one you approach second?
Yeah. Least ridiculous red fascist apologist.
