There was nothing appealing about them. Both the Nazi's and the communists were criminal regimes responsible for complete abrogation of human rights and mass killings. They both invaded Poland but the west chose to ignore the Russians transgressions. Not surprisingly as they knew full well they'd never defeat Germany without them.
Western Europe's weakness led them to "sell their souls" to a lesser evil (by a hair). And sell eastern europe down the volga when it was all over.
Nothing to be proud of there.
