@IraCamenzind [name pseudonymized] [ontology] : Je n’ai rien vu passer sur le #pacteGermanoSovietique dont c’est l’anniversaire. L’occasion de se rappeler les liens intrinsèques entre tous les totalitarismes. Hier le nazisme et le communisme, aujourd’hui l’hérésie #woke , l’islam et l’idéologie pastèque des escrolos.

Context " The two men in the photograph shook hands on the night of 23 to 24 August, 1939, just after signing the 'Treaty of Non-aggression between Germany and USSR'. However, the photo is a partial photomontage. There was no map of Poland behind their backs when in Moscow the general secretary of All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks) of Soviet Union, Joseph Stalin, extended his hand to the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Third Reich, Joachim von Ribbentrop. The content of the 'Non-aggression Pact' wasn't supposed to be a secret. It cannot be said, however, that it did not surprise millions of citizens of Nazi Germany or the communist USSR, because earlier, for years they had been accustomed to critical remarks about the current signatories of the 10-year-old treaty. An even greater surprise would certainly be the 'Supplementary Protocol to the Non-aggression Pact between the German Reich and the USSR concluded in Moscow on 23 August, 1939'. However, this document was not intended to be disclosed from the moment when it was first mentioned during the August German-Soviet negotiations.. The negotiations, which must be added, preceded by Stalin's statement on 10 March, 1939, during the 18th Congress of the All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks), when he stressed that he would not allow the USSR 'to be drawn into conflicts by warmongers who are accustomed to have others pull chestnuts out of the fire for them..' Knowing about the plans of German aggression, and not knowing only the date of the strike, Stalin decided to take part in the division of the 'Polish chestnut'. On his behalf, the People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs of the Soviet Government, Vyacheslav Molotov, proposed the development of a 'secret protocol', which was to define precisely the 'interests of both sides'.
