The Polish government in exile in London was guaranteed freedom when they went back to Poland after the Soviets took Poland in 1945. They disappeared into gulags or were killed. The Americans (and the Brits to some extent) were naive enough to believe the Soviets. Even FDR saw the writing on the wall after that happened; he died shortly afterwards. Truman knew enough not to trust Stalin after they met at Potsdam. Nobody should ever trust a Soviet/Russian head of state.
