> For the first 3 years of WW2 USSR was an ally of nazis.

This sounds inaccurate or at best an oversimplification of the complicated pre-WW2 treaties flying all over europe. I only see this idea in reference to the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact, but that only lasted 2 years and was a non-aggression pact, not an alliance. But maybe you are talking about a different agreement?

What non-aggression??? USSR and Germany partitioned Poland in 1939

Thanks! I was looking at stuff that lasted the mentioned 3 years which I couldnt track to anything, and grouped the Poland invasion as part of this pact, though it's worth mentioning separately.

Fwiw, Non-aggression pact means no aggression against each other but it was an coordinated invasion of Poland, so your right.

Can we talk about actions as well, not only written agreements?
You had a chance to. The gp did too. You did not take it yet and instead asked my permission. Thank you, I guess. Go ahead, you may.
