Is Nazi soviet pact is also known as Non aggression pact?

Question

are they the same?

Answer 1

Yes. They both signed it without any intention to respect it. Staline needed time to rebuild his army after the purge he made, Hitler wanted to turn his attention to the west first.

When Hitler attacked Russia, Staline was caught by surprise. But if Hitler had waited longer it would have been Staline who would have attacked.

Answer 2

The Nazi-Soviet Non Aggression Pact was signed in Moscow on August 23, 1939, just days before the German invasion of Poland (Sept. 1, 1939). In protocols not revealed to the public, Stalin and Hitler agreed to divide Poland in two, the eastern part being incorporated into the USSR and West Poland becoming a territory of the Reich. Russia also supplied the Germans with raw materials, especially supplies of wheat.
The agreement required communist parties around the world to switch their anti-fascist, anti-Nazi line, and caused confusion and disillusionment among many party followers. The official line later on was that Stalin used the pact to buy time to re-arm the USSR. In reality, there is evidence to show that when Germany finally attacked, on June 22, 1941, it took Stalin completely by surprise.

Answer 3

It gave him a free hand to invade Poland because there was a secret protocol attached which stated that the Soviets would invade from the East two weeks after Germany started to regain territory which Russia had lost after WW1. This gave Stalin a feeling of security in his dealings with Germany but Hitler had already decided that the Soviet Union was next on the list for attack. Unfortunately he had not reckoned with the interference of France and Britain so he had to postpone his invasion of the Soviet Union to June 1941. At the same time that Ribbentrop and Molotov were discussing a treaty the French and British were keen to conclude a treaty with the Soviet Union but this failed because the Poles refused to allow Russian forces to enter Poland in the event of attack from Germany. So Stalin went with Hitler

Answer 4

Yes, it's one and the same.

It's also called the "Nazi-Soviet Nonaggression Pact", "German-Soviet Treaty of Nonaggression", "Hitler-Stalin Pact", "Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact", or the "German-Soviet Non-Aggression Treaty" (August 23, 1939),
