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.
