This article uses four different, primary-source accounts of a key conversation between Ambassador W. Averell Harriman and Foreign Minister Vyacheslav Molotov as a springboard for analyzing the importance of emotions and cultural difference in US-Soviet relations from 1943 to 1945. The essay focuses particularly on Harriman, liaison to the Red Army, John R. Dean, and their efforts to establish closer relations with Soviet officials and to set up US air bases in the Ukraine. Feelings of anticipation, elation, disappointment, and bitterness - all heightened by homosociality -conditioned Harriman's and Deane's evaluation of Soviet policies and the chances for postwar cooperation
