What was life like living in Joseph Stalin's russia?

Under the iron rule of Joseph Stalin, the Soviet people had to deal with the cruel dictatorship that Stalin imposed on the USSR. His stated goals were to make the USSR a powerful and better nation for all. However, power corrupts and absolute power absolutely corrupts. Stalin executed many people that he believed were not loyal communists. His collective production plans directed by government officials who had to toe the communist line, caused many economic problems in the USSR. The Siberian labor camps were filled with "enemies" of the people, so Stalin said. Many were against the lack of any sort of democracy. In the 20th century the two European dictators, Hitler and Stalin would vie for the title of worst & cruel men to ever lead a nation.

What was the purpose of the Berlin Blockade?

In 1948 and 1949, Stalin decided to impose a blockade on West Berlin as part of an overall plan to bring West Berlin, then the whole of the western portion of Germany (still occupied by French, British, and American forces), into union with Soviet-controlled East Germany. By closing land-access to West Berlin, Stalin considered that the city would soon require Soviet assistance and thereby come under Soviet control.

What was a caused of soviet mistrust of the western allies in World War 2?

Stalin didn't just mistrust the western allies, he mistrusted everybody. Stalin had to fight for the leadership of the USSR after Lenin and had many in the party who opposed him. He dealt with these by arrest, deportation and murder, just as he did with the officer corps of the armed forces (a factor that led to the slow Soviet response to invasion by the Germans) and the Kulak landowners created by Lenin (that led to mass starvation). He had also mad a 'pact' with the Germans over Poland and this Non-aggression pact had ultimately led to nothing but deception on Hitler's side. Stalin knew Communism was an 'enemy' of capitalism and his capitalist allies indeed mistrusted him, especially Churchill. Stalin felt that the lack of a credible second front was in order to weaken the Soviets for a continued invasion by the British and USA. This again ultimately led to the annexing of the Warsaw Pact countries and formation of the 'iron curtain' in Churchill's words.
