I pretty much consider the USSR as their own side in WW2. The had a pact with the Nazis to partition Poland, and the USSR also attacked Romania and Finland in order to expand. They also had a pact with Japan just before the war to partition Manchuria and Korea.
For that matter, China was also up to no good before WW2. Both China and the USSR were allies of convenience to defeat the Axis, but neither were friendly nations, that is for sure.
