why did Hitler insist on breaking the pact and invading Russian in winter?

Nitpick: Hitler invaded Russia in the middle of summer.

The answer is that he regarded Communism as "Judeo-Bolshevism", a Jewish plot against the Aryan race.

That answer has problems explaining the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact.

See above - Hitler's armies didn't invade Russia until winter.

There's no problem there whatsoever - Hitler always intended to march against Russia, not least to wipe out or enslave the Slavs. The pact just allowed him some breathing space.
