Why was the soviet union so afraid of allowing Germany to become a single nation?

It wasn't so much allowing Germany becoming a single nation but they felt they had a foothold in Germany because of WW2. At the end of the war Russia reached Berlin first and then the allies followed. This set up a situation where a decision had to be made by the countries on who controlled what areas. It was decided that Berlin would be divided into four sections. One section was held by the Russians and 3 by the west. The Russian section became East Germany and eventually the Berlin Wall was built to divide Germany and keep the population in East Germany in the country. When the Wall came down in 1989 the movement towards unification began, so today the area that was once East Germany is now again part of Germany.
