Editing Eastern Pact (section)

=== Polish Position ===
Polish-Soviet relations were messy from the start. Even though the two countries signed a non-aggression pact in 1932 and Poland was seemingly starting to recognize the German threat, its policy was becoming more and more anti-Soviet as time passed. Nominally Poland adhered to a '''Policy of Equilibrium'''. Although it didn't participate in any explicit anti-Soviet agreements, its non-aggression pact with Germany in January 1934 contained a secret article which forbade Poland from signing “any agreements without the prior permission of the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs”.<ref>Library of the President of the Russian Federation, https://www.prlib.ru/en/item/1296676</ref> Poland had no similar secret agreements with the Soviet Union. Moreover, Poland sabotaged the ratification of the Eastern Pact<ref name=":0" /> <ref>Library of the President of the Russian Federation, https://www.prlib.ru/en/node/1297148</ref> even though it was persuaded by France, her most important ally. Even Laval put pressure on Beck (the Polish foreign minister) to make his position clearer.<ref name=":1" /> Looking at the Polish position logically, signing the Eastern Pact wouldn't be in contradiction with the policy of equilibrium since, as was mentioned above, Germany was also invited. Because of that the treaty wasn't biased towards either side (at least on paper).
