The Iron Curtain
The dangers of communism in his 'Iron Curtain' speech.
Stalin died in 1953; the Berlin Wall went up in about '60/61.
The Iron Curtain was a rhetorical device in a Churchill speech. He said, "From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic, an iron curtain has descended across the Continent." By this he meant that no one could leave the countries that were to the east of that line. There wasn't actually a huge metal curtain between the West and East. Stalin didn't want anyone to leave the Soviet Union because he knew everyone would leave. He knew communism is not a popular system of government.
The word curtain is a noun. The plural form is curtains.

Winston Churchhill
No, that was coined by Winston Churchill in a speech.
It didn't. The Soviets were already distancing themselves from the west. It would be good to get an Eastern perspective on this: I just don't see it happening. The Cold War arose from the ashes of WW2, why is quite another question....

Stalin was critical of Winston Churchill's "Iron Curtain" speech delivered in 1946, which he perceived as a declaration of ideological conflict between the West and the Soviet Union. He viewed Churchill's remarks as an attempt to rally Western powers against the Soviet influence in Eastern Europe. Stalin believed this rhetoric exacerbated tensions and misrepresented the Soviet Union's intentions post-World War II, leading to a further deterioration of relations between the East and West.
The first reference of an Iron Curtain was in a speech by Winston Churchill shortly after WW2
