churchill wanted free elections and democratic governments in eastern and central Europe especially in Poland
Because of FDR's disloyalty to Churchill at the Tehran Conference. FDR went behind Churchill's back and made secret agreements with Stalin on Eastern Europe. Stalin said he preferred "a downright enemy to a pretending friend".
Winston Churchill and Franklin Roosevelt did not like Josef Stalin nor did they trust him. They really disliked the communism and Stalin's dictator stance. They put up with him so he could fight the Eastern Front of the war.

Churchill Downs is in Louisville, Kentucky, and operates in the Eastern Time Zone.
At the Yalta Conference, Winston Churchill, Franklin Roosevelt, and Joseph Stalin agreed that all of the countries liberated from Nazi occupation should be granted free elections. Sadly, Stalin did not honor his promise and occupied the Eastern European countries that he liberated.
Winston Churchill warned President Roosevelt not to trust Stalin and not to let him get to Berlin. Roosevelt did not listen to Churchill. It is doubtful Roosevelt could have stopped him from taking over the Eastern Bloc anyway. It would have been better for Europe if they had not been taken over by the Communists. There are still six countries which are communist countries. The United States had a real issue with communism which is how we ended up in Viet Nam and Korea in another bunch of wars. So I doubt the Cold War would have been prevented with the mindset of the American leaders.
