Russian historians blamed Churchill (the British Prime Minister) and Truman (the American president, 1945-1953). They said Truman and Churchill wanted to destroy the USSR, which was just defending itself.
The Traditional View
At first, western writers blamed Russia. They said Stalin was trying to build up a Soviet empire.
The Revisionist View
Later, however, some western historians blamed America. They said Truman had not understood how much Russia had suffered in the Second World War.
The Post-Revisionists
Later still, historians think BOTH sides were to blame - that there were hatreds on both sides.
Most recently, historians agree that the Cold War was primarily a clash of beliefs - Communism versus Capitalism.

Is the US to blame for the Cold War?
The question of whether the US is to blame for the Cold War is complex and debated among historians. While the US's policies, such as containment and military alliances like NATO, contributed to escalating tensions with the Soviet Union, the USSR's aggressive expansionism and ideology also played significant roles. Both superpowers acted in ways that fueled distrust and competition, making it difficult to assign blame solely to one side. Ultimately, the Cold War resulted from a mix of ideological, political, and economic factors from both the US and the Soviet Union.
