      This is literally anti-communist propaganda.

      trading with the Nazis was kinda profitable for Stalin, he who seeked an alliance with the western powers just a few years ago

      Yes, Stalin tried to broker an anti-fascist coalition and France / Britain weren't interested. That meant Russia had to buy time while they built up the army and weapons needed to fight fascists solo.

      It should also be mentioned that the USSR was one of the last hold outs for trading with either of those countries.

      The Fascists, of course, cared as much as Stalin did for ideological diffierences

      This is completely ahistorical and frankly also fascist apologism.
