The iron curtain was a product of the Soviet union and the spread of communism through eastern europe through the 1950s and 60s. There was a gigantic ideological and economical divide between communist eastern european countries and the capitalist western european countries. The communist countries were believed to be behind an "iron curtain" as Winston Churchill put it. The biggest physical symbol of this was the Berlin Wall.

The Iron Curtain countries were the Soviet Union, controlled by Russia.
There was no such thing as an "Iron Curtain" (a curtain made of iron). The name was simply a symbolic term representing communist countries, with the USSR primarily being the center focus. Consequently, the term "behind the iron curtain" meant being in a communist nation (primarily meaning the USSR).
THe countries "behind the iron curtain" were: GDR (German Democratic Republic), Poland,Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania. Of course it was not a curtain, but Churchill referred to the dividedness of Europe with this word: the capitalist and the communist part of it.
It is a metaphor coined by Winston Churchill in the years after WW 2, when the Soviet-dominated Communist countries in eastern Europe closed their borders to Western Europe to their own citizens. It was as though the Communist countries were behind a curtain, an iron curtain.
