Hitler was not in the Soviet Union because he was with Germany and Germany didn't like the Soviet Union very much and so Hitler actually invaded the Soviet Union. Which made him an enemy of the Soviet Union! That is not the answer he wanted. In 1939 fearing a invasion of Poland will start a war with the USSR. Hitler signed the Nazi-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact. It states that the 2 countries will not attack each other. Because of this, Hitler can invade any non soviet country without fear of a war on his eastern side. Germany used this to invade Poland and any other country on the west of Europe. After western Europe was subdued. He attacked the USSR
