Read up on Nazinsky Island where Stalin sent 5,000 "Kulaks" (subsistence farmers) who resisted forced collectivism. Over 3,000 died in 6 weeks from disease, starvation, bullets and cannibalism.
Stalin made my people eat each other, and it is illegal to mention this in the free, glorious russian empire.

The way I read it, the Soviet Union partnered with Nazi Germany to invade Poland.
This wasn’t the Soviet Union invading Poland to protect Poland against the Nazi invasion. The Soviet Union attacked Poland and fought the Polish army in order to split Polish territories with Nazi Germany.
Not sure how that compares to Ford/IBM selling equipment to the Nazi regime prior to hostilities.
