metadata.value: The article focuses on the early history of post-war Lend-Lease settlement between the
  U. S. S. R. and the U. S. A. It considers the political aspects of the establishment of the Mutual
  Aid program for the Soviet Union, the attitude of U. S. President F. D. Roosevelt and his
  administration, representatives of the U. S. Congress and the American people. The author
  uncovers the reasons and circumstances of the signing by U. S. President Нarry Truman a note
  on the termination of Lend-Lease deliveries dated May 12, 1945. The author emphasizes that
  this note did not reflect Truman’s personal attitude to the U. S. S. R. and was not directed solely
  against the Soviet Union. In addition, the author insists that the Soviet side was informed
  and repeatedly warned of the termination of deliveries after the end of hostilities in Europe
  well in advance. Thus, while acknowledging the imprudence and undiplomatic actions of the
  American side, one should not nevertheless accuse them of neglecting their duties, which they
  fulfilled in full. The article also uncovers the negotiations on Lend-Lease settlement in 1946,
  which have hardly been ever described in Soviet and Russian historiography. The intention to
  bind Lend-Lease settlement with other important economic problems in Soviet-American relations
  and, indirectly, to the participation of the U. S. S. R. in a number of important international
  trade and economic institutions — the IMF, the IBRD, the ITO — expressed by Washington
  in early 1946 has become an insurmountable obstacle to reaching a consensus between
  the parties and, as a result, has become one of the origins of the Cold war. However, one can
  not but acknowledge that an essential part of the blame for the failure of the 1945–1947 talks
  lies also on the Soviet leadership.
