The Treaty of Moscow, was signed on August 12 1970 between the USSR and West Germany.
Both sides expressed their ambition to strive for a normalization of the relations between the European states while keeping international peace and to follow the guidelines of the article no.2 of the UN Charter.
The signees renounced the use of force, and recognised the post-WWII borders - specifically the Oder-Neisse Line which hived off a large portion of historical Eastern Germany to Poland and the USSR.
It also enshrined the division between East and West Germany, thus contributing a valuable element of stability into the relationship between the two countries.
