The Soviet Union made postwar advances to Egypt after the 1956 Israeli-Arab War and the internationally condemned jointly invasion of the Suez Canal by British and French airborne forces aided by Israeli ground forces, an event that greatly angered the Egyptian public opinion and made an approach of the Soviet government to the Egyptian government far easier. As a result, the Soviet Union supplied the Egyptian armed forces with weapons systems of all kinds, tanks, jet aircraft, radar systems, artillery pieces, etc. plus extensive technical assistant by Soviet advisers.
The other Mediterranean country the Soviet union approached to was Syria which also received plenty of Soviet-made war matériel and technical assistance.
In both cases, the British and French support to Israel in the early 1950s drove Egypt and Syria away from Western powers and threw them into the Soviet sphere of influence. It is worth of note that the Soviet Union did not request any payment for the aid supplied and avoided any criticism or interference with the Islamic faith prevalent in both countries.
The Mediterranean country, the USSR, made early postwar advances to take advantage of England's incapacity to defend the Mediterranean balance of power is known as Turkey.
Following the end of World War II, Joseph Stalin, the then Leader or Premier of the USSR wants a route from Black Sea ports through the Turkey Straits to the Mediterranean to enjoy the free passage of shipping trade.
While Turkey could not grant USSR requests leading to the cold war, England's weak postwar economy made them incapable of fighting against the Greek communists' Guerilla warfare against the Greek government and defending the Mediterranean balance of power.
As such, Turkey had to seek assistance from the United States by joining the League of Nations through the Truman Doctrine.
Hence, in this case, it is concluded that the correct answer is "Turkey."
