Molotov-Ribbentrop pact I can give you in that it was condemned as "immoral", but it helped USSR to buy some time nonetheless. And in the end of the day it was Stalin, who relieved polish people from Hitler's occupation and liberated Warsaw.

It is a bit sad, that WW2 now somehow divide us, as it was the last time Russia, UK and USA fought together. Still, it is interesting to see how those events are now viewed in other countries.
