The document details a Russo German non aggression treaty signed in Moscow on August 23 1939 between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. It binds both sides to refrain from force, consult on mutual interests, avoid aligning with any third power against the other, and resolve disputes by discussion or arbitration. The pact runs for five years with automatic renewal, becomes effective upon signing, and is ratified in Berlin with Ribbentrop representing Germany and the USSR signatories.
