The Russians invaded Manchuria. the bomb kept them from keeping areas in the Pacific.
Most of the groups and individuals who had considered the subject from the Scientific Panel to the writers of the Franck Report believed it necessary to inform the USSR of the imminent success of the Manhattan project. Failure to do so, they believed, would guarantee a post-war atmosphere of suspicion and hostility. Three days after the successful test blast, after consulting his advisers and Churchill (the British had cooperated in the project), Truman decided it would be wise to tell Stalin the news. The effort from the Russians was greatly accelerated following the end of the war. Stalin was determined and no spared no expense telling scientists to ask for whatever you like. He needed his scientist to developed nuclear weapons. The US had shown it could be done but the blasts of the nuclear weapons had another reasons... to keep the areas of the Pacific the Russians wanted when they invaded Manchuria destroying the Japanese who invaded the Manchuria area of China. I do not recall the exact date, but after the close of one of the formal meetings Truman informed Stalin that the United States now possessed a bomb of exceptional power, without, however, naming it the atomic bomb.

Are effects of the bombing of japan still lingering?
If your question refers to the emotional character of Japan, the answer will eternally be "Yes." The events of Hiroshima and Nagasaki are so burned in the Japanese psyche and modern identity that time will not erase them. (This is similar to the effect of the Holocaust on the Jewish psyche or 9-11 on the American psyche.) If you are referring to physical effects, then the answer is different. The land itself has more or less returned to pre-bombing conditions (i.e. grass grows, the river water is as potable as it was, etc.) There are certain exceptions such as burned shadows and the like, but overall the places at the epicenter of the bombings show few lasting marks of the event. (This is from an environmental perspective. The bomb did eviscerate entire neighborhoods which no longer exist.) If you are referring to human maladies, the numbers of those who claim illnesses caused by the blast are tapering off, but only because most of those who were severely effected have already passed. There are still, however, a higher incidence of radiation-related diseases in the Hiroshima and Nagasaki areas.

Did the US drop the atomic bomb for japan to surrender?
yes and no. i think the primary goal of Hiroshima was to showcase to the watching world, that a new epoch had been passed. Maybe with the knowledge that it would also take Nagasaki to secure Japan's surrender, they may never have dropped one.
