Note the visible unease on the face of Soviet Chief of the General Staff Shaposhnikov. He's not sure if it's OK to be seen in the same room as Germans or not. It wasn't too long ago his colleagues were purged for that.

At the signing, Ribbentrop and Stalin enjoyed warm conversations, exchanged toasts and further addressed the prior hostilities between the countries in the 1930s.[93] They characterized Britain as always attempting to disrupt Soviet–German relations, stated that the Anti-Comintern pact was not aimed at the Soviet Union, but actually aimed at Western democracies and "frightened principally the City of London [i.e., the British financiers] and the English shopkeepers". -
