from what I remember it was the Russians who built the wall to keep all East Berliners from leaving for the areas of Berlin controlled by Britain, France, and the U.S.
history showed that you could not keep all physical objects out, look at the Berlin Airlift, just like later technologies of television and radio could not be kept out, but one must also not do is get too stuck on the physical border, it is important to think about the barriers and differences in thinking that emerged within the different Berlin or more broadly East European residents, one might say that in terms of the economy, politics, or culture that in some ways the Berlin Wall still exists

The Berlin Wall was built by East German troops. The Soviets were not directly involved. As others have already mentioned, TV and radio signals could not be kept out. The U.S. created Voice of America during W.W. II and when the Cold War began, it was used as a voice of freedom. It should the people that the Communist system had power over their lives and it was not free system.

Walter Ulbricht charged Erich Honecker with construction of the wall (in the first instance a barbed wire fence). The second part of your question is unintelligible. It showed the people of eastern Europe that the communists would not allow them to be free.

Berlin wall?
One of the GREATEST mistakes ever made by Soviets and their satellites was to BUILD IT.
The other mistake was to let it pull down.
