economic reasons were a part, but not all of it. e.g. three other reasons were:1) the general Nazi Lebensraum ideology had involved expanding the Reich to the Slavic territories for a long time, 2) Bolshevism was seen as the archenemy and 3) the Soviet system was considered very pro-Jewish and thus an enemy to the Nazi dogmas.

Germany and the Soviet Union actually signed a
non-aggression pact in the beginning of the war. Conflict between them came much later.
I mean, it's nice and all to try to explain things by ideology and stuff, but at the end of the day the practical reasons always are the better ones when trying to fully explain any given event.
