Imagine supporting the Nazis during WW2 and coming out the other side as the good guys.
The Soviets, who literally banded together with the Nazis to genocide Poland.
Russia. The cause of - and solution to - world war two.
USSR and Germany started WW2 together by invading Poland.

The ideology only changed when Germany invaded Russia and Russia left the "axis" and joined the "allies".
Edit: I don't know if the ideology matched (the dictatorship part does), but they were both expansionist.
You're right, i was using "ideology" way to fast and loose. I do think their expansionism was something in common, and they both wanted their piece of Europe and that defined 75 years of European history
I dunno, let's ask Poland?
