Were any anarchists talking about the need for massive industrialization at any cost in the late 1920s early 1930s in the soviet union? No? Then if the anarchists were in charge, yes, the nazis would have won and been able to implement plan ost.

Tell me when the novel comes out.

Asking you if something crucially needed to defeat the nazis was even documented as on the radar of contemporary anarchists isnt writing a novel.

This is the same USSR that invaded poland alongside nazi germany in 1939 yeah?

They invaded at the same time. That's what "alongside" means here.

The alternative was for the nazis to roll all the way across poland — the only barrier between nazi germany and the soviet union — and subject the entire country to the holocaust instead of half of it, at a moment when the polish government had already fled and the country was not capable of repelling the nazis.

Man what a dumb take - they wanted a barrier from the nazis so decided to move their border closer.

So when they rounded up and murdered the polish intelligentsia, that was to stop the nazis yeah?

move their border closer

...further away from their capital and all their cities and infrastructure?

I notice you ignored the part where the USSR murdered an estimated 65,000 poles.
