Original Note:
This is false. The Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact contained a secret part with a protocol establishing Soviet & German spheres of influence in eastern Europe. This allowed Germany to invade Poland on 1 Sept 1939 & the Soviet Union to invade Poland from the east on 17 Sept 1939. https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/german-soviet-pact https://www.theguardian.com/world/from-the-archive-blog/2019/jul/24/molotov-ribbentrop-pact-germany-russia-1939 https://www.annefrank.org/en/timeline/60/germany-and-the-soviet-union-sign-a-non-aggression-pact/
