Why do you think Russian leadership in the Pan Slavic movement affected its relations with Britain?

Russian leadership in the Pan Slavic movement caused tension with Britain because the movement aimed to unify Slavic peoples, including those under Ottoman control - a region Britain had interests in.

Will Russia defend Iran against an attack?

It depends. Prior to 1979 Iran was a wholly supported ally of the United States. It was specifically designated a U.S. special interest state and the government of Shah Reza Pahlavi was fully backed by the US with money, food and arms. After the fundamentalist revolution it was feared that Iran would become a Soviet bloc ally, or puppet state; this did not happen. Iran is almost as wary of Russia as it is the US. They do have a shared border and sea, and do have some trade agreements, yet they actually have had better relations with some European nations, including Germany and France. Being as Iran does not want any part of the US or Russia dictating terms to them, it is unlikely that Russia would defend them against anything but a US invasion of Iran. That is not a highly likely proposition. During the Iran - Iraq wars Russia actually provided some support to Iraq, while the US had made some backroom deals on both sides of the conflict (Iran-Contra scandal).

Germany was controlled by Germany during the war after Germany surrendered the allies which were US Britian USSR and France divided control of the country at the Potsdam Conference Aug. 1945 You might say that Germany was the spoils of war, "To the victors go the spoils". But there were no leaders there to take control the country was broke the industries had been bombed out someone had to take control and the US did not want Russia to have all of Germany, Russia did not want Britian to have complete control, US and Britian did not want France to have control Germany had too much resources to let just one country have it all so they divided it up.
