The soviets response to the containment policy of Truman's adminstration was the Berlin blockade imposed by Stalin in 1948 What was this blockade?
Stalin imposed a blockade on Berlin for 11 months in an attempt to drive the Western Powers control out of West Berlin. As Berlin was in the Soviet bloc of Germany, he closed off all access to West Berlin so no resources could get through. this included food, coal for electricity etc.. The West Powers did not allow this to stop them and used the three air corridors, which they were still able to use, to supply West Berlin will all it needed. It was a massive airlift with planes flying into West Berlin constantly. After 11 months, Stalin saw that the Western Powers were not budging and ended the blockade. hope that helps!

What was organized by the free countries to keep west Berlin from starving?
In June 1948, Stalin ordered all rail and road links to Berlin through East German territory to be closed. He believed this would stop people leaving and force Western Powers to withdraw their troops from the city. Stalin's action was again international law and the Western Powers were determined to remain. Berlin gave the West a military foothold in East Germany that they would not give up. The Americans wanted to demonstrate that they would support people who resisted communism. The Western Powers could not force their way through the blockade as this would risk all out war and they were greatly outnumbered by Soviet forces. The only way to beat the blockade without risking war was to supply the city by air. The Berlin Air Lift lasted for 8 months. British and American Cargo planes flew into the city at a rate of one every two minutes. Millions of tons of food, fuel and other supplies were delivered. Despite this massive effort, the city still suffered from shortages and rationing had to be introduced. Electricity could only be switched on for a few hours each day. After eight months, it as clear that the Western Powers would not leave and Stalin ended the blockade. This was a defeat for the Soviets and a propaganda victory for the West. The Americans convinced the world that Stalin aimed to take over the whole of Germany and then the rest of Western Europe.

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.
Why did Khrushchev decide to construct a wall to separate East Berlin from West Berlin?
After Wolrd War II, the Allied Forces broke Germany into occupation zones. Different countries would govern and denazify different zones while Germany remained one country. Russia had the eastern part of Germany which contained Berlin. Stalin controlled East Berlin, but West Berlin was divided between France, Britain and America. Stalin didn't want democratic influence in the middle of one of his communist puppet states. When his attempts to force the Western armies to leave failed, he surrounded West Berlin with a wall.
