Why did Harry S. Truman drop the bomb on Russia?
Harry S. Truman did not drop the bomb on Russia. He ordered the dropping of atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945 during World War II, in order to bring about a swift end to the war and avoid a costly invasion of mainland Japan. The goal was not to target or harm Russia.

No, in fact they were preparing for an invasion of mainland Japan.

No. Atomic bombardment was act of intimidation and new weapon test. Both Japan cities were civilian without any military infrastructure. By the way many Japan pupils think that bombs were Russian! The only real and ready-to-fight 1 million Japan Quantun Army based in Manjuria was destroyed by Red Army.

It was mostly the civilian casualties. However this problem is not unique to atomic bombs. Any large bombing campaign has similar effects.

What was President Truman's main goal in deciding to use the atomic bomb against Japan?
Truman knew he had a weapon that would bring an end to the war, and probably would result in less American deaths. The war continued to lag on, and the Japanese, due to their belief that surrender meant failure and disgrace, would not give up. Dropping nuclear bombs on Japan gave them no other alternative than to surrender.
Was Thomas W Ferebee the bombardier who dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima for or against the dropping of the A-bomb?
The crew for the first Atomic bombing of Hiroshima was initially pro-bomb, as were the US soldiers everywhere. Men on the ground put taunting messages on the bomb (as if anyone would ever see them!), and the bomb was nicknamed "Little Boy". But in about 43 seconds after releasing the bomb, they saw the mushroom cloud; they soon felt the shockwaves even though they were flying away by then. US soon received reports of the human toll and devastation. Bombing Nagasaki later was the final attempt to cause Japan to submit and surrender. That crew knew what the bomb could do; I doubt any of them enjoyed their task.
