While reading a text for the bolsheviks by a council communist I read that the USSR joined the SDN! What was the SDN?

I'm sorry the text is in greek and is too big for me to translate. If I find it in english, I'll paste it here.

Hm, only thing that comes to mind is possibly the French name for the League of Nations: "Société des Nations" (SDN).

The Soviet Union joined in 1934 and was expelled in 1939 due to the Winter War.

Yeah, I meant to add that to the post as well but I wasn't sure if it was entirely relevant. It was indeed a controversial move, but it doesn't appear the Soviet Union treated its membership in the society seriously, just seemingly doing what ever it could to tick off Nazi Germany. It could be said this was part of the period when they were courting the west for a bloc against Nazi Germany. When that failed, it settled for Molotov-Ribbentrop to secure its interests in the event of a continental war.
