We know to day the cause: the secret protocol to the Treaty of Non-aggression between the Soviet Union and Nazi-Germany, signed in 1939 – the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact – defining the spheres of interest of the two dictatorships in eastern Europe which led to the war with Finland, the occupations of the Baltic countries, the assault on and division of Poland, and probably also the occupations of Norway and Denmark. In short, this pact with its excrescence had an enormous impact on the history of our region, right up to this day.
我们都知道背后的原因：1939年苏联和纳粹德国在《互不侵犯条约》下签订的一个秘密协议- 《莫洛托夫与里宾特洛甫协议》-明确了东欧两个独裁政权彼此的势力范围，导致了与芬兰开战，对波罗的海国家的占领，对波兰的进攻与分割，并很可能也导致了对挪威和丹麦的占领。简言之，这一协定及其赘生物对我们地区的历史造成了重大影响并一直延续到今天。
