Quite awhile back Stalin’s inner circle was trying to honor Vyacheslav Molotov for a service anniversary as the Soviet foreign minister. They got together a silver document holder and were going to give him pristine copies of the agreements and treaties he had negotiated as foreign minister in the document holder as the gift. But then someone pointed out that the USSR had broken all of the agreements. The idea went away.

Concerning the USSR, no one ever expected them to live up to
any agreements they made.
Under Putin, I believe he was breaking missile agreements just
like the USSR used to break agreements.
Nice mention there, Stalin and Molotov.
