Most GIs ideas about Russia would have come from the positive propaganda about them as allies that we put out during the war, Russia was an enemy but useful during the war once they broke from the Nazis and focused on their own defenses, although they continued their 1930s/1940s conquests for empire, and we were never friends, once Germany was defeated the focus switched to defending the free world from Russia.
