USSR and Germany started WW2 together by invading Poland.

The ideology only changed when Germany invaded Russia and Russia left the “axis” and joined the “allies”.
Edit: I don’t know if the ideology matched (the dictatorship part does), but they were both expansionist.

You’re right, i was using “ideology” way to fast and loose. I do think their expansionism was something in common, and they both wanted their piece of Europe and that defined 75 years of European history
I dunno, let’s ask Poland?
Poland: “Ha ha oh boy I sure am glad that my eastern border is secure so I can execute this delaying campaign against Nazi Germany!”
