Indirectly, a lot of World War II propaganda and semi-propaganda.  Doesn't
Humphry Bogart deliver a load of tanks to Uncle Joe at Murmansk at the
end of _Action in the North Atlantic_?

I'm not sure this made a lot of difference, however.  It seems to me,
based on talking to people of my parents' generation, that there were
never a lot of warm fuzzy feeling about Stalin *himself* during WWII,
except among sectarians.
