The British-U.S. alliance with Stalin made them his partners in crime. Roosevelt and Churchill helped preserve history's most murderous regime, to which they handed over half of Europe in 1945. Neville Chamberlain is widely criticized for his appeasement of Hitler and the resultant rise of Nazi Germany. Roosevelt & Chuchill's appeasements of Stalin allowed the USSR to become a superpower when it should have been swept into the dustbin of history shortly after WWII. Evil dictators thrive when good nations turn a blind eye to their atrocities.
The progressive left has a problem condemning the iron hand of socialism because they want the power of the state to be viewed as a good thing and any curbs on that power as obstructions to their utopian dreams. Communism and Fascism have proven that one party's utopia is the holocaust of the masses.

Churchill was well aware of Stalin. Had no choice.
You should read about his complicated dealings with Spain during the war; they are indicative of the conflicts with his government--and himself.
As for Roosevelt? Two words: Alger Hiss.
