Yes indeed, but not at first. Originally the USSR and Germany were Axis allies, until Hitler turned on Russia and tried to invade her. As the Russians forced the German soldiers remorselessly back to whatever was left of home, they captured most of the Eastern European countries, and half of Germany, as part of Stalin's equivalent of Hitler's "Thousand Year Reich". We were Allies, but Winston Churchill (his knighthood came much later) recognised the Russian aims, and after the War-end settlement by him, Roosevelt and Stalin, his "Iron Curtain ... across Europe" metaphor stayed current until the collapse of the USSR in the 1990s.
