[ooc: Sorry this over a month late, but just returned from hiatus and didn't want to leave it hanging, don't respond if it's too difficult.]
1945 starts the Cold War. Mostly between America and Russia but Churchill and Montgomery were pretty mad that Eisenhower let the Red Army get to Berlin ahead of the rest of the Allied Army.
Hum... America used the atomic bomb on Japan and Russia was pretty scared of the happening to them... but Russia is Russia... so rather than outright fight each other, they politically maneuvered everything to other countries and fought it out there: communism versus capitalism.
Since it wasn't outright war, espionage became almost as important as technology. The KGB was the Soviet Union's intelligence and secret police. They didn't come about until 1954 though... but when they did... that's when it got tricky. Assassinations, double lives, some of the things really made the Gestapo look downright friendly. [Yes, she just said that.]
