Just after World War 1 Churchill was a very keen supporter of intervention in Russia as he loathed Communism. However, that didn't prevent him co-operating with the Soviet Union in 1941-45.
The Soviet Union wanted war.
Clementine Churchill was the wife of Sir Winston Churchill. Winston was a British leader during WW2 and was good friends with FDR. Clementine did not have anything to do with the Soviet Union jk haha idk
Churchill thinks the goals of the Soviet Union were that all the European countries lay in the Soviet area of influence and all are subject to a very high & increasing degree of control from Moscow. In the Congressional Record, March 5, 1946 Churchill stated "I do not believe that the Soviet Union desire war. What it desires is the fruits of war and the indefinite expansion of its power and doctrine. ~Dimonique♥
They worried it would work against the interest of the Soviet Union.

The Soviet Union's aggression after World War II was especially focused in Eastern Europe. Winston Churchill claimed the Soviet Union was extending the Iron Curtain.

Germany invaded the Soviet Union.
When Germany invaded the Soviet Union in June 1941, some MPs (Members of Parliament) teased Churchill, who had previously been very hostile to the Soviet Union and had played a key role in Western intervention against the Bolshevists in 1919-21. He replied with the above comment. When Hitler invaded the Soviet Union, Winston Churchill, a vehement anti-Communist, famously stated "If Hitler invaded Hell, I would at least make a favourable reference to the Devil in the House of Commons," regarding his policy toward Stalin. Soon, British supplies and tanks were flowing to help the Soviet Union.
Notably, Churchill recognized the rise and threat of the Soviet Union, and popularized the phrase "Iron Curtain".
They wanted to win the space race against the Soviet Union.
An Iron Curtain
The iron curtain.
