Historian Orlando Figes has a good summary of its significance here. History is full of cynical international agreements, many of which led to terrible results. But I doubt anyone can point to a worse treaty than this one." ....................... from a reader: Also, the actions, explanations, and spinning the CPUSA did over the pact resembled a round of "Twister" where all the participants wet themselves as they had to, of a sudden, defend fascism.
