Yes, but that was only to be after the Nazis were dispatched.the russians planned on taking Hokkaido. It had been agreed upon that in exchange for getting involved in Manchuria, Stalin would be a big part in Japan's future, which included taking Hokkaido, and the Kuile Island and Sahkalin which Japan had taken from them in 1905. After the a-bombs were dropped, Truman renegged on Hokkaido and demanded that the US have an air base in the Kuriles.
It's also unlikely that Stalin would've returned the three B-29s he ended up copying.
I know when it was. The differences between FDR and Truman are interesting, as are the changes in US attitudes toward Russia after Hiroshima.
