USSR didn't exist in 1920 either, it was established in 1922.
- vetinari 7y agoTrue, but when you use the optics "it is no man's land, let's take it while we can", why only in the case of 1919-1921, but not in the 1939 case? When Soviets crossed Polish borders in 1939, the Polish statehood was exactly in the same defunct state as the Soviet in 1919-21.

Soviet Union decided to attack, it lost the war, it had to ceede territory.
