You can read it in English on Wikisource [1] among other places. The text itself is nothing new, it's been available for decades, it's just that few people have seen the Soviet-held original copies.
Most interesting part for me as a Pole, is "Die Deutsche Reichsreugierung" and "Union der Sozialistischen Sowjetrepubliken" and the same in russian script. So how they described themselves, and the rest is quite boring non agression treaty, so they skipped "we are going to meet in the middle of Poland and then we will see 'смех' 'Umfassungsgraben'".
As a Polish person who had Russian and German (English also :)) in school, so I can read those documents, I would say you Brits should get interested about it in 1939 not now.
Those French guys also should chip in earlier.
Don't take it personally it is a just historical joke!
Not sure. But from a rough translation if it, it is quite literally the bullet points that you've been taught in school.
"Neither party will attack the other for 10 years, with an automatic extention to this clause, if neither party denounces the other."
"In the Baltics, the northern border of Lithuania is the border of the interest of influence of both participants."
"Each party is interested in a chunk of Poland, divided by such and such river. If both parties are interested in an independent Poland, we can discuss this later."
"Any disagreements regarding this agreement should be resolved through a peaceful exchange of ideas."
