They built the Berlin Wall in 1961.
The collapse of the Soviet Union made it possible for the Berlin Wall to be knocked down so people could travel between East Germany and East Berlin easily.
The Berlin Airlift took place all over Europe, where allied planes flew supplies over Soviet terrain to supply the people of Berlin, Germany!
Yes, they kept people from leaving their side of the border. No, we still got supplies through to them.
The Soviet Forces closed in on Hitler and Berlin to defeat the Nazis and get them to surrender. They also had a score to settle. The Nazi Germans killed 20 million of their people.
The Berlin Airlift was the US program to remain influential in West Berlin, Germany in response to the Soviet embargo - blocking incoming goods from West Germany to West Berlin. The airlift provided necessary goods and supplies to the residents of the city for two years, until the Soviets rescinded the trade barrier. People involved could be directly the Germans of West Berlin, the Soviets, and the Americans (specifically Harry Truman, the President at the time who gave support to the airlift).

As I understand it nobody died due to the Soviet blockade of Berlin. The US Air Force began flying in supplies long before that would have become an issue. A few deaths did result from airplane crashes during the airlift operations to supply Berlin. However of course some people did die during the period of the Soviet blockade of Berlin but those were from the usual causes people die from and were not directly connected to the blockade.

Well, in the 1950s and the 1960s the USSR, or the Soviet Union provided a lot of aid to the People's Republic of China.
The Soviet Union, France Britain and America divided Berlin into four sections after world War II. However, when France Britain and America combined their sections into one and formed a democratic government, people began emigrating from the Soviet Union side, where there was a communist government, to the democratic side. The Soviet Union was losing populations so they built the Berlin wall cutting straight through Germany.
Too many people were leaving East Germany through West Berlin. from 1949 - 60 it was believed 3million people had left for the West. Eastern Europe was communist at the time so there were restrictions on travelling, soviet troops were lining every communist country. But as West Berlin was capitalist they had the freedom to travel and weren't linned with soviet troops so Eastern Europeans were travelling to East Germany to East Berlin and through West Berlin they could fly out to another country. Skilled workers were leaving East Germany which would decrease their economy but boost West Berlin's with flight money. Khrushchev (Head of Soviet union and East Germany at the time) was getting angry so built the wall to stop them. God Bless x
The Berlin Wall was built by the German Democratic Republic during the Cold War to prevent its population from escaping Soviet-controlled East Berlin to West Berlin, which was controlled by the major Western Allies. It divided the city of Berlin into two physically and ideologically contrasting zones.
Well, you could not advertize East Germany as a workers paradise that anyone would want to live in if nobody wanted to live there!
