1. Treaty of Rapallo (1922). Germany and Russia, the two reviled countries of Europe, recognized one another. Germany gained the military training facilities in Russia and was able to hide a large part of its army there. In 1933 when Hitler came to power, Stalin ordered the German troops out. 2. In August 1939 the two countries signed a Non-Agression Pact. Secret clauses allowed the Soviet Union to retake most areas that it had lost in 1918-21, in particular: eastern Poland, Finland, the Baltic Republics and Bessarabia. Germany was given a free hand in western Poland. In addition, the Soviet Union agreed to supply Germany with oil and other commodities.

Germany and the Soviet Union signed a non-aggression pact in 1939. The Soviet leader at the time was Josef Stalin.
The Soviet Union signed the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact with Germany in 1939 primarily due to mutual strategic interests and the desire for territorial expansion. The USSR sought to secure its western borders and gain influence in Eastern Europe, while Nazi Germany aimed to avoid a two-front war and secure resources. Additionally, Britain and France were perceived as unreliable allies, especially after their failure to effectively counter German aggression earlier. The pact allowed the Soviets to buy time to strengthen their military and pursue their territorial ambitions without immediate threat from Germany.

No, Stalin did not sign a peace treaty with Germany during World War II. Initially, the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany signed the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact in 1939, a non-aggression treaty that included secret protocols for dividing Eastern Europe. However, this agreement was effectively nullified when Germany invaded the Soviet Union in June 1941. Throughout the war, the USSR remained in conflict with Germany until its defeat in 1945.
Germany - 23rd August 1939
Stalin simpy signed the agreement with Germany because it was a better choice than Britain and France... They had much more too offer such as; The Soviet Union gaining control of Belarus and the Baltic States and they also had been promised no aggression towards them

Uh... he was in charge of Germany, i doubt he signed one of those with his own country. He signed one with Russia (Soviet Union) because he did not want them to invade Germany because he was afraid of the Soviet Union. he was right to be afraid, because when he broke the NAP (Non Aggressive Pact), the soviet union came at him with all power and kicked his little @$$ back to Germany and took control of Berlin and ended the war
