Was it right for Stalin to impose the blockade of West Berlin?
No, it was not, because it was in direct contravention of his agreement at the Potsdam Conference to keep Germany as well as the city of Berlin governed by the United States, Great Britain and the USSR. (France was added later.) Berlin was in the middle of the Soviet part of Germany, so there was no access to Berlin except through the Soviet part.
Although Stalin had promised open roads to Berlin, he reneged on his promise, blockaded West Berlin and closed all roads to West Berlin. The move was made solely to oust the other Allies from the city by starvation and lack of supplies so the Soviet Union would have total control over the former German capital and of all East Berlin. The Allies posed no threat to the USSR, so Stalin cannot claim he was doing it for defensive reasons.
It was a double-cross made solely for the purpose of excluding Allied authority from the Soviet side of the country of Germany. The Allies defeated this by the Berlin Airlift and in 1949, Stalin conceded and lifted the blockade.
By the way, although the entire perimeter of West Berlin was cordoned off, this was not the Berlin Wall. That came after Stalin was dead. That was built on August 13, 1961 on orders from Nikita Khrushchev to stop East Germans from fleeing the Soviet side into the Western side ordered that built
