W. Averell Harriman to Franklin Roosevelt, October 11, 1944
In the fall of 1944, Churchill met Stalin for the so-called TOLSTOY Conference in Moscow. There the two leaders worked out formulas by which the Soviet Union and the Western powers established relative percentages of influence that the three powers would exercise in Eastern Europe after the Germans had been driven out. Also present at the meeting was Averell Harriman, who reported to President Roosevelt that Churchill felt he had "obtained Stalin's approval to keep hands off" Greece.
