The quote below was written in the 1950s:

[A]n iron curtain has descended across the Continent ... [F]amous cities and the populations around them lie in what I must call the Soviet sphere, and all are subject in one form or another, not only to Soviet influence but to a very high and, in some cases, increasing measure of control from Moscow.

Answer:

Winston Churchill

Explanation:

He delivered his speech on march 5, 1946, not in the 1950s. The iron curtain was not a physical wall - that was build in august 1961 - but marked the boundary between the Western allies and the Soviet sphere. The Iron Curtain is a metaphor for the strict separation of two opposite ideologies.
