The Great Patriotic War.
There is some irony in this: On the one hand, Russia suffered greatly, with some 20 million people dying; but on the other hand Hitler would not have dared warlike expansion without Stalin approving the secret Molotov-Ribentrop non-aggression pact.
Under this pact Russia agreed to let Hitler invade Poland and keep two-thirds of it, provided Russia could annexe the eastern one-third. Hitler then double-crossed Stalin and invade Russia, ultimately losing at Stalingrad.
Russians were very brave in the war; but without Stalin's disgusting connivance with Hitler, the war might never have happened.
