The West German government advised Truman the Soviet Union was not a normal government and would not be treated as such.
The East German government with the support of the Soviet Union built the Berlin Wall to stop East German from defecting to the West.
After World War II, as Cold War tensions slowly increased, the Soviet Union and the major Western powers came into conflict over the occupation of Germany and various other issues. The situation escalated dramatically in 1961, with the erection of the "Berlin Wall" by the Soviet Union in response to the West's continued support of West Germany and the massive defections by East Germans via West Berlin itself.

Eastern Berlin was considered the Soviet sector. It was separated by West Berlin by the Berlin Wall from 1961 to 1989, and the East German government referred to East Berlin simply as "Berlin".
At the time (June 1948) the Soviet leadership said that the blockade was a response to the introduction of the new currency, the West German Deutsche Mark, to West Berlin. They claimed that it was a violation of the Potsdam Agreement of 1945.

It was build in East Berlin, by the East German government (presumably at the behest of the Soviet Union), on the East Geman side of the border between East and West Berlin. Its purpose was to prevent the escape of East German citizens to West Berlin.
The Soviet Union also invaded Poland around the same time. Germany invaded Poland on September 1, 1939 from the West, and the Soviet Union invaded Poland on September 17th of the same year from the East.

Surprisingly, yes very much so! This was largely due to government response to the fall of the Soviet Union and want to proverbially catch up to the West's economic policy (especially in USA).
Soviet action barring road and rail traffic between Berlin and the West
In Bonn, until reunification and then it moved back to Berlin.
No it was not, east was controlled by russia Pat's answer: West Berlin was controlled by the American, British, and French occupying military forces. It was originally administrated by the Soviets, American, British, and French forces, but the Soviets tried to force the western allies out of Berlin by a road and rail blockade, which was checked by Berlin Airlift. Berlin was completely surrounded by the Soviet East German territory. In the 60s, the Soviets built a wall around West Berlin (to keep their East German citizens from escaping). One had to travel through Soviet Checkpoints and across 100 miles designated East German highways and another Soviet Checkpoint before entering West Germany, The allied forces allowed the West Berlin citizens to form their own government and operate the city as they wanted. It was a shining star surrounded by the Iron Curtain. Much of the needed supplies and fresh groceries required by West Berlin later came from East Germany. The water supply system was operated and controlled from East Berlin.
