The start of the Cold War can be seen in the final days & months of WW2. The Russians had suffered terribly, and this applies to the whole of Eastern Europe as a whole. There is a very marked difference between the war in the east and that fought by the US & Britain (& others) post D Day. Stalin comes across as a man of great power, wholly autocratic & ruthless. This is greatly at odds with western democracy and any idea of personal freedom & self determination. Politically the USSR and the West are poles apart. The Iron Curtain comes down and there are crises such as the Berlin Airlift & the Cuban Missles affair, along with the Bay of Pigs & other events. One would like to see a Russian perspective on all this, I wont anticipate a reply anytime soon from there, and it does beg the question: why not ?
