During the 1900's, millions of people lived under Communist rule. In 1917, Russia became the first state to be controlled by a Communist Party. Russia joined with three other territories in 1922 to form the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (U.S.S.R.), or Soviet Union. By 1940, 12 more republics were added, and the Soviet Union had become one of the most powerful countries in the world.After World War II (1939-1945), Soviet troops occupied most of Eastern Europe. The Soviet Union was thus able to help Communist governments take power in that region. In 1949, the Chinese Communist Party won a civil war for control of China.Thank you 2010 World Book for the contribution of this article.
This refers to the pattern of establishing communist governments, mainly by military means, in Eastern Europe, the Baltic states, and client states such as Cuba and North Vietnam. The USSR encouraged and supported socialist and communist governments in Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean.The Soviet BlocThe presence of Soviet troops in many parts of Europe after World War II meant that governments could be formed, or coerced, into communist forms. In Eastern Europe and the Baltic, countries became satellite states of the USSR in the Soviet bloc, as represented militarily by the Warsaw Pact. East Germany was under Soviet rule for over 40 years.If a country tried to change its government (as Hungary did in 1956), the USSR could military invade and take control, effectively creating puppet governments that would support Soviet policies. These countries provided labor, raw materials, and other commerce that benefitted the chief republic of the USSR, which was Russia. This allowed the USSR rulers in Moscow to coordinate a vast quasi-empire to their own benefit rather than that of the smaller constituent republics and the satellite nations outside the USSR.

After the Second World War the countries that had been liberated from the Nazi rule ba the soviet Red Army were strongly influenced by the Soviet Union which was a Communist country. Troops of the Red Army were stationed in each country (They said 'temporarily, but they stayed for more than 40 years). Soon these countries were forced to build Socialism and the target was Communism. In the Communist countries only one party was allowed and that patry was the communist party under different names. This one-party system is very characteristic for the Communist dictatorship.
Nikita Khrushchev demanded the withdrawal of troops from Berlin in 1958. Nikita Khrushchev was First Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.
North Korea is communist from the Soviet Union, South Korea is anti-communist, it breaks my heart when I say it.:( Also, they are being occupied by different troops.
Soviet Border Troops was created in 1934.
At the time, the Hungarian government was a Soviet puppet. When the people rebelled against the government, the Soviets sent troops to support the government so that Hungary would stay in the Soviet sphere of influence.
In the 1970s, there was a revolution in Afghanistan, which led to the establishment of a communist government. Since this was the height of the Cold War and everything, the Soviet Union (Russia) immediately declared itself an ally of communist Afghanistan. When the Afghans started to rebel against their new communist government the Soviets sent in troops to put down the rebellion. Ultimately, the Soviets' goals were to maintain a communist "buffer state" separating themselves from non-communist Middle Eastern countries, and also to expand their sphere of influence.
As th Sovet Union 'liberated' the eastern part of Europe from the Nazis at the end of the Second world War, those territories liberated later went under the rule of the Communist Soviet Union. Soviet troops remained in all those countries for about 45 years to ensure the ideological devotion. In all the countries the building of socialism had started (which is the dfirst step to Communism). The countries: Poland, Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary and to some extent Yugoslavia.
The Soviet Union entered Hungary in 1945 at the end of World War II. In 1949, their presence was formalized with the creation of a communist state. Hungary remained under Soviet control until June of 1991 when the last troops finally left.
