Adolph Hitler made a nonaggression act with Stalin. So Stalin and Hitler became partners in crime, taking over more and more territory. Hitler felt threatened by the rate at which Stalin was attaining land, so he tries to invade the u.s.s.r. He doesn't succeed. What an epic FAILURE! So Stalin then joins the Allied Forces at the begginning of WWII.
There are several possible reasons. Russian economy and political structure had settled after the years following the revolution and Russia was a relatively stable society. It hadn't had a war in several years, following the policy of Socialism In One Country. The Council of the League of Nations was also suffering from a power void with the loss of Japan (a traditional rival of Russia in the East) and Germany (followed by Italy in 1935) from the Council. Russia's first ideas within the League was total disarmament for all countries, a suggestion discounted by the remaining council members.
He had Hitler invading Russia and needed help.

Joseph Stalin allied the USSR with the Allies.
Joseph Stalin became the leader of the Soviet Union prior to World War II. He initially supported the Axis powers, but when Stalin predicted the defeat of the Axis powers, he attempted to join the Allies power and end connections of the Axis. Stalin initially was a supporter of the Axis Powers but after Hitler ordered and carried out the invasion of the Soviet Union, Joseph Stalin joined the Allied Forces.
Stalin tried to force the Allies out of Berlin, Germany by cutting it off from contact with the west. The Berlin Airlift project enabled the Allies to supply their portions of the city and remain there despite Stalin's efforts to the contrary.
