It separeted family's adn all that. Families were separated not by the eastern bloc but by the division of Germany, which was not a unilateral phenomenon, both parties were equally "guilty". - CoolKidX wrote:

| I wouldn't use the word "sucks" but I don't particularly like it. Most Eastern bloc countries were just Soviet satellites with stalinist puppets for rulers. In most cases they were placed in power by Stalin instead of gaining power through a popular revolution. The best aspects of the Eastern bloc were Hungarian Marxists overthrowing the stalinist government in an attempt to establish socialism and Poland trying to hold an election. The Soviet Union thwarted both attempts to put the revolution back on track but they were very admirable. | |

The COMECON was much broader. Define "good life" and then tell me if the Eastern Bloc had good life and if Eastern Bloc people would agree with you. | |

And many will say it wasn't like that. Many say there were terrible goods shortages and I'm talking about people who like better the USSR than actual Russia. | |

| Ya, they were actually pretty poor and exploited by the USSR because most of the states were just a result of Stalin trying to rebuild the Russian Empire. | |

I don't think that was an attempt at all to rebuild the Russian Empire. Else there was not much USSR could take from any of those countries if anything at least. | |

| A new Russian Empire certainly seems to be the effect Stalin created. The Eastern bolc was probably one of the contributing factors to the collapse of the USSR | |
