The Soviet Union didn't build the Berlin Wall. The Soviets merely told East German dictator Walter Ulbricht to stop the flow of defections from East to West or he would. East German Army engineer units built the Wall.

It did not. In 1939 the Soviet Union had a non-agression pact with Germany which led to the invasion of Poland; a British ally. Not surprisingly, the Soviet Union was seen as a possible enemy, but there was no fighting between Britain and the Soviet Union. When Germany violated the pact and invaded the Soviet Union in 1941, Britain and the Soviet Union found themselves fighting on the same side against Germany, although they were far from the best of friends. After World War 2 they were adversaries again in the Cold War, but still they did not fight, at least not openly.
