There is evidence that Stalin was planning to invade Germany while the Nazis were attacking France & Britain, but that the quick collapse of France prevented that. If France & Britain had been able to stabilize their front as in WW1, then we might have seen Russians doing the attacking. Probably the Russians would have pushed the Cold War frontier somewhat closer to the Rhine in that situation.

Lol, don't know where you got that so called evidence. The reality is that Stalin decimated the Red Army, purging its generals in the 30's, cooperated with Hitler over the invasion of Poland and appeased Hitler up to point in time when the Wermacht invaded Russia.
