Stalin tried to merge the Chinese communist party led by young Mao Zedong into Chiang Kai-shek's Kuomintang nationalist party.
斯大林試圖把由年輕領袖毛澤東帶領的中國共產黨和蔣介石領導的國民黨合在一起
The plan backfired when Chiang Kai-shek turned on the communists in 1927 and massacred every single one he could find.
可事與愿違,1927年蔣介石背叛共黨,屠殺每一個能找到的共產黨
Understandably, Mao resented the Soviet's inept bumbling.
可以理解,毛對蘇聯的亂指揮很不滿
The German communist party was encouraged to go fight Hitler's Nazis.
德國共產黨被鼓動反對希特勒的納粹黨
In return, Hitler played a German fear of Russia to become dictator and established the Third Reich.
因此希特勒便成了俄國的噩夢,他成為獨裁者,建立了第三帝國

The rise of Hitler also ended the Soviet Union's friendly relations with Germany.
希特勒的崛起也結束了蘇聯和俄國的友好關系
The Soviet Union then joined other European socialist parties, in creating an anti-fascist popular front movement against Germany and Italy.
蘇聯因此加入了其他歐洲社會黨,從而開啟反法西斯運動來反對德國和意大利
As part of this popular front movement, the Soviet Union supported the republican side in the Spanish civil war of 1936 to 1939.
作為這一著名運動的成員之一,蘇聯在1936年到1939年西班牙內戰中支持共和黨派
They fought against the fascist-supported nationalists of Francisco Franco who, by the way, is still dead.
他們和法西斯支持的民族主義者弗朗西斯科·佛朗哥作對,佛朗哥最后也死了
The Soviet Union was thus able to pose as the only power willing to stand against the fascists.
蘇聯因此也可以偽裝成唯一一支愿意和法西斯作對的力量
