As has already been stated, the Soviet Union attacked Poland together with Germany.
But also feel free to explain how this peace-loving utopia invaded and occupied Poland, Estonia , Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary and Czechoslovakia. Explain how peaceful it was to install puppet regimes in Romania, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Albania, and east-Germany and crushing the people revolting in order to keep control. In what universe was it peace-loving to retain control over these countries for some 40-50 years?
Admire the Soviet Union all you want. It was however not a peace-loving utopia. It was an aggressive international superpower which throughout its history invaded a dozen neighbouring countries, engaged in scores of proxy wars and was in several periods the world's largest exporter of guns to the third world (and if we include the Eastern bloc likely the largest by a wide margin).
And it doesn't help to point fingers at others. That isn't your claim. You are claiming this was a peaceful nation. There is nothing in its history that supports that claim.
