Under the iron rule of Joseph Stalin, the Soviet people had to deal with the cruel dictatorship that Stalin imposed on the USSR. His stated goals were to make the USSR a powerful and better nation for all. However, power corrupts and absolute power absolutely corrupts. Stalin executed many people that he believed were not loyal communists. His collective production plans directed by government officials who had to toe the communist line, caused many economic problems in the USSR. The Siberian labor camps were filled with "enemies" of the people, so Stalin said. Many were against the lack of any sort of democracy. In the 20th century the two European dictators, Hitler and Stalin would vie for the title of worst & cruel men to ever lead a nation.
Stalin did not have authority to order Churchill to do anything.In late 1944, German forces were weakening.

In 1948 and 1949, Stalin decided to impose a blockade on West Berlin as part of an overall plan to bring West Berlin, then the whole of the western portion of Germany (still occupied by French, British, and American forces), into union with Soviet-controlled East Germany. By closing land-access to West Berlin, Stalin considered that the city would soon require Soviet assistance and thereby come under Soviet control.
