Solution

The correct option is C 2 only
It is generally believed that the Russians entered the second world war in 1941 on the side of the allies. However, this is incorrect. The USSR entered the war in September 1939 with the invasion of Poland. The Germans had earlier on September 1 occupied the western part of the country, the Russians occupied the eastern part on September 17.
