What can they do to only defending itself from Nazi Germany but in the same time not do this "empire-building"?? Let Nazi kill them??

Yes, defending from national-socialistic Germany meant to sign a treaty (Molotov-Ribbentrop) with this Germany in which both dictators signed the fate of Poland - by splitting up the prey.

Hitler was evil, so was Stalin. Both were agressors. Both armies (all armies) did war crimes. Both dictators (both were socialists) also enslaved their own people.

I do hate both of them, do you? Ah, I just saw you have a red star in your avatar...let's hope it's just for "historic" reasons.
