Austria was split up among the Allied forces. The Russians pulled out quite early because their zone of occupation was so small that it was very expensive for them to maintain it.

There's a huge, ugly Russian built bridge in Vienna. They also have the West Bahn Hof, a nice place built by the Western Allies about the same time as that bridge. The old central bahn hof was located in the Russian zone.

The Russians occupied Vienna area - was that small? I was in Salzburg - somewhat smaller. [Vienna itself was shared just like Berlin]
