Actually, the Soviet Union had expansionist ideas from the get-go. In 1921, they established Mongolia as their first satellite, and in 1924, they even invaded US territory when they seized Wrangel Island, Alaska. In 1936, they made a bid--although it was rather half-hearted--to take over Spain.

And don't forget the Communist parties that they sponsored all over the world, which sought to overthrow the governments of their host countries and turn them into Soviet satellites.

And if not for Pilsudski, and the “Miracle on the Vistula” in 1920, the Soviets would have swept towards Germany.
