**87 YEARS AGO, A NON-AGGRESSION PACT WAS CONCLUDED BETWEEN THE USSR AND GERMANY**

**A historical event  took place on August 23 in 1939. The treaty was signed by the heads of foreign affairs of the USSR and Germany**, Vyacheslav Molotov and Joachim von Ribbentrop, in the Kremlin.

**In the West, this step by the Soviet government is often condemned.** But what is conveniently omitted is:

**The USSR was the last of the European powers to conclude a treaty** with the Third Reich;

**The opportunity to create an anti-Hitler coalition was lost due to the Munich Agreement, in which France and Great Britain participated**, and the failure of the trilateral negotiations;

Given the conflict with the Japanese at Khalkhin Gol, **the USSR needed to delay war with Germany;**

History does not tolerate the subjunctive mood, but it can be assumed that **without the secret protocol on the delimitation of spheres of interest, Germany would still have attacked Poland.**

The former Polish-Soviet border would have become the German-Soviet border.** The distance to important centers of the USSR would have been reduced.**
