"...relations with the West quickly deteriorated...."
Given the bad faith of the US empire, I'm not surprised.

Bad Faith? you mean like having active spy rings in your allies nations like the Russian did?
like murdering 10,000 Poles at Katyn?
Like threatening US troops with Murder as they returned soviet POW's to soviet niceties?

[i]On 19 January 1946, a detail of Third Army troops -men and officers far from pleased with their assignment- undertook to put 399 former Soviet soldiers aboard a train at Dachau.
The Russians refused to leave their quarters and, after tear gas was used to force them out, 9 were found to have hanged themselves, 2 had stabbed themselves to death, and 20 others had to be hospitalized for self-inflicted wounds.
Of the 368 Russians eventually put aboard the train, 11 were found at the last minute not to be Soviet citizens and six escaped en route.
In a dismal final scene in the Soviet zone, [b]Russian soldiers threatened to shoot the American guards if they attempted to leave the train[/b]. Hoping to avoid another such series of events, Third Army postponed further shipments while it reworked its procedures and awaited the results of appeals from the Russian Orthodox clergy to the President and the Pope.60[/i]

Did the Russians do anything that the US empire didn't?
