Russia was not an ally of Germany in World War 1.
1. If anything, Germany would not have wanted Japan to attack the United States; Germany wanted Japan to attack the SOVIET UNION (Russia); to relieve pressure on the German Army's Russian Front. 2. By all accounts, Germany was taken by surprise by the Japanese attack on the US Naval Base at Pearl Harbor. 3. Japan had it's own plans for the Pacific and Asia. Germany had it's own plans for Europe. If they both could "link-up" via the Suez Canal (Japan was moving towards India, Germany was fighting for control of the N. Africa); then other plans for world conquest could have been drawn up.
Russia became industrialized during the 1930s when Joseph Stalin instituted a series of what he called Five Year Plans. The plans were designed to rapidly increase the industrial capacity of the Soviet Union and change it from an agrarian economy to an industrial one. The plans succeeded and Russia did become an industrialized nation. Prior to the Five Year Plans, Russia had mostly a peasant farming economy.
How did the realities of the new world affect the plans of colonizers?
Joseph Stalin started five year plans to modernize Russia.

'cause Russia tripped Germany and Germany fell in the mud
Hitler, the Nazi's but over all Germany

The ONLY physical contact, on a general basis, between German and Japanese military personnel in the performance of their COMBAT duties, was in the "Indian Ocean" between German U-Boats & Japanese I-Boats. German and Japanese Submarines physically made contact with each other in this particular ocean and exchanged information & supplies. Germany did want Japan to open a second front on the Soviet Union (Russia), to relieve pressure on Germany's Russian Front in 1941, but Japan had no plans to fight Russia (Soviet Union); as they had already fought them twice (1904, 1905, and 1939) and had no desire to fight them again.
The Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact was essentially a non-aggression and border agreement with the then Soviet Union. It was signed pror to Germany's invasion of Poland, and remained in force up until Hitler launched Operation Barbarossa (the invasion of Russia) on June 22, 1941. In hindsight, it is clear the pact was purely a ruse by Germany to keep the Soviets from interfering in the Reich's war plans until such time as Hitler decided to invade Russia.
