Stalin kept troops in Eastern Europe instead of holding promised elections
Further Explanation:
In the year 1945, When World War 2 came to end, Members of Allied forces President Franklin D Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and Stalin met near Yalta and this meeting was conducted in order to discuss the reorganization of Europe after World War 2. Each member had his own set of ideas in this scenario as President Roosevelt wanted participation of Soviet Union in newly formed United Nations whereas Winston Churchill argued that free and fair elections should take place in Central and Eastern Europe especially Poland and Stalin was of a stand that he wanted Soviet influence in Central and Eastern part of Europe and wanted it to start this influence with Poland as that would provide Soviet union a geographical buffer zone.
So after many days of discussions over these issues, many outcomes came and one such outcome was that Poland was to be recognized under the communist provisional government under the Republic of Poland and Stalin made a promise that he will conduct free and fair elections in Poland but he failed to fulfill this promise as he kept his troops in Eastern Europe.
