They were one of the Allies on the side of Great Britain and the US.

eventually. after Hitler attacked them. Stalin believed German wouldn't attack SO FUCKING MUCH, he ignored warnings from Poland, The US, the UK and more. I read somewhere he even had people executed for it but also this is during the time of great purges, so honestly they were probably going to be executed regardless, just Stalin things I guess.
