Some of your impressions are mistaken, and I think you're using a lot of passive voice ("the iron curtain was created") in order to avoid assigning responsibility where it belongs. The USSR created the Iron Curtain, to keep people in when they wanted to leave.
Is the West perfect? Of course not, neither is NATO. But Russia invaded a peaceful country. Russia started a war. Russia is murdering, raping and torturing civilians. Russia is at fault.
