The Soviet Union reject the invitation to participate. The Russians did not accept the idea of helping Germany after they invaded and devastated part of the Soviet territory. Joseph Stalin believed that the Marshall plan would allow Eastern countries that supported Russia, to escape the Soviet control. The USSR came up with a plan of their own called Molotov plan or COMECON, that was a program of trade between socialist countries.
