Why did russia join the league of nations in 1934?
There are several possible reasons. Russian economy and political structure had settled after the years following the revolution and Russia was a relatively stable society. It hadn’t had a war in several years, following the policy of Socialism In One Country. The Council of the League of Nations was also suffering from a power void with the loss of Japan (a traditional rival of Russia in the East) and Germany (followed by Italy in 1935) from the Council. Russia’s first ideas within the League was total disarmament for all countries, a suggestion discounted by the remaining council members.
