I was confused because the issue was discussed both at Tehran and again at Yalta.
FDR was so ill and unprepared at Yalta that he did not stand up to Stalin, to Churchill's disapproval. Russia was one country before WWII and a different country afterward. Much of the 'legitimacy' Stalin and the USSR attained after the war was gained because of the deference that FDR showed to Stalin and the concessions that were made to him. I think that the USSR after WWII is something that, to some extent, FDR made. Your input, please.

So what if Roosevelt's dementia gave us 40 years of Nuclear Nightmares. He gave us the Social Security system that will be there for when Mary Jo Kopechne turns 65. Just ask Fatboy.
