Answer: surprised by the deployment of the atomic bomb and its effect.

Explanation: There is no doubt that Stalin saw the dropping of the Bomb as directed more at Russia than Japan: 'They are killing the Japanese and intimidating us' he told Molotov. ... Stalin's reaction, argues historian David Holloway, was to play 'hard ball', and he instructed his diplomats to take a tougher position against the west.
