The Soviets distrust the US and its allies primarily due to ideological differences, viewing capitalism as a threat to their communist system. Historical events, such as the Western intervention in the Russian Civil War and the delayed opening of a second front during World War II, further fueled suspicions. The US's nuclear arsenal and its policy of containment heightened fears of aggression, leading the Soviets to perceive the West as a potential adversary seeking to undermine their influence and security. This distrust was exacerbated by Propaganda and a general atmosphere of rivalry during the Cold War.
The Berlin Airlift.
The dividing line between the Soviets and US/allies.
It sped things up in Europe; it was really a race between the Soviets (Russians) and the Western Allies, on who could beat whom into Berlin first. The Germans greatly wanted to surrender to the Western Allies, not the Soviets! Had the US/British not reached Berlin when they did, the Soviets (Russians) would have taken over ALL of Berlin, instead of just EAST Berlin.
The Soviets agreed to declare war on Japan.
The soviets agreed to declare war on Japan
The Berlin Airlift.
The dividing line between the Soviets and US/allies.
The Soviets tried to close off the Allies supply lines resulting in the famous Berlin Airlift.
The Western powers airlifted supplies to Berlin, until the Soviets ended the blockade in 1949.
There were no US soviets, the US have senates.
"Soviets" no longer exist; the Soviet government collapsed in 1990. Had they not collapsed...the violence in Iraq and Afghanistan would not involve US personnel. The COLD WAR WOULD STILL BE GOING ON.

The Soviets....
The Allies; the British, Americans, and Soviets.
They sided with the allies: USA, Great Britain, France, Canada, And others
The Allies, being the Soviets, the british, and the U.S mainly were a focused on defeating Germany & japan
The Soviets ended the blockade of West Berlin in 1949 because they realized it was not achieving their goal of forcing the Western Allies out of the city. The blockade had led to the Berlin Airlift, where the Allies supplied West Berlin by air, showing the Soviets that their blockade was ineffective.
