In Sep 1939, after their pact, both Germany and USSR invaded Poland. One early USSR action (denied by the USSR until 1990) was
"a series of mass executions of nearly 22,000 Polish military officers and intelligentsia carried out by the Soviet Union, specifically the NKVD.... which was approved by the Soviet Politburo led by Stalin"
known as the Katyn massacre. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katyn_massacre https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katyn_massacre]
The Nazis pointed it out in 1943, the USSR blamed it on the Nazis. The (non-Russian) Allies played down the fact at the time. (Churchill is quoted as writing 'we should none of us ever speak a word about it.')
It seems hard to believe that with modern tech everywhere, such an act could happen again. Not so hard to believe that the same is true of a cover-up.
