Let the historical revisionism begin.

It’s not actually revisionism.

Stalin was so paranoid that he firmly believed in British perfidy even when the evidence was against it. Stalin did read the events of 1938 as showing that England and France would do nothing. He was incapable of assessing the change from Chamberlain to Churchill, and the pact made perfect sense to him.

This is not saying that Stalin was a good guy, or right. It’s acknowledging the history.

But WWII was the fault of Hitler and his Germany. No one else.
