That's probably what Kremlin had expected: world division into two
with the Wicked Ogre of the West and the Wicked Ogre of the East
dividing the spoils. Otherwise why send a congratulatory telegram
(from Molotov/Stalin to Hitler) on the fall of Poland?
«Под совместными ударами германских и советских войск рухнула Польша,
уродливое детище Версальского мирного договора». В архиве германского
МИДа сохранились поздравительные телеграммы Молотова по случаю взятия
вермахтом Варшавы и Парижа. (http://www.day.kiev.ua/199013/)
