How did the USSR react to the explosion of their first atomic bomb?
Roosevelt was a bit too open about the general concept of the atomic bomb. Stalin took in everything he heard and soon Russia or the Soviet Union had nuclear weapons also, making the US and the Soviet Union the two big world superpowers, with stockpiles of nuclear weapons that could destroy the Earth. I'm sure the Soviet Union believed at the time that since they were developing their own nuclear weapons, they weren't all that alarmed. To this day, after the Soviet Union crumbled, no one knows where some warheads have gone. It was easy for a terrorist to snatch a nuclear bomb or two from the unguarded Soviet stockpiles abandoned when the Soviet Union became no more.

What caused the arms race after World War 2?
Project 'Manhattan' or to simply say, Nuclear Bombs and the US "Red Scare" in the early 1950s. from then on every country wanted nuclear weapons, And the First to acquire was the US, then Russia, then the United Kingdom, then France, then China, then India, then Pakistan, then North Korea. It is believed that Israel also has them, but they refuse to either confirm or deny. At the peak of the cold war arms race both the US and Russia had more than 10,000 strategic nuclear weapons and roughly 50,000 tactical nuclear weapons each, no other country in the world has ever had more than a few hundred total strategic and tactical nuclear weapons. As of 2014 both the US and Russia have reduced their stockpiles to about 3000 strategic nuclear weapons and zero tactical nuclear weapons (however the US maintains the parts from the dismantled 7000 strategic nuclear weapons and in an emergency could still reassemble them in a few months time into usable weapons, Russia likely has similar ability).
