The French just would not budge from their war plans.

Stalin's decision to deploy the Red Army so far west to protect his newly acquired territory would come back to haunt him in 1941.

I have mixed feelings on Pilsudski, he was so anti-Czarist that he refused to help the Whites against the Bolsheviks. Sikorski was the real hero of the "Miracle on the Vistula", but Pilsudski got the credit.

In to the 80's I still had history professors that denied the soviet invasion of Poland.

Need to pick the brains of those old guys who fought the USSR head on back in '39. That knowledge will come in handy not if but when the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (aka USSR-2) moves into conquest mode.

Soviets wanted to get all the Baltic states under their control, so they gave the Polish Lublin region to the Germans in exchange for Lithuania.

Tukhachevski deserves a ton of the credit or blame depending on one's perspective.

I guess they hoped no one would notice.

The ultimate stab in the back.
You certainly cannot justify the invasion of Poland under any circumstances. However it should be pointed out that less than a year earlier, Poland stabbed her Czech brothers in the back and along with Germany and Hungary, was a party to the rape of Czechoslovakia. Bad karma all around.

But it really looks, like the left was very influential among the media at that time already (it was published in September 1939).
