Explanation:
Secret Police, Propaganda
In 1944 and 1945 the Red Army drove across Eastern Europe in its fight against the Nazis. After the war, Stalin was determined that the USSR would control Eastern Europe. That way, Germany or any other state would not be able to use countries like Hungary or Poland as a staging post to invade. His policy was simple.
• Each Eastern European state had a Communist government loyal to the USSR.
• Each state's economy was tied to the economy of the USSR.
• If Communist control was threatened, each state could use its own army or secret police, or call on the Red Army for help.
• The Warsaw Pact of 1955 bound all of the Eastern European states closely to the USSR.
Stalin died in 1953 and by 1955 a new policy seemed to be developing. The new Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev seemed to want better relations with the West and reform in the USSR. In Eastern Europe, they hoped for less tight Soviet control. In 1956 Khrushchev gave various concessions to Poland.
Communist propaganda in the Soviet Union was extensively based on the Marxist–Leninist ideology to promote the Communist Party line. In the Stalin era, it penetrated even social and natural sciences giving rise to various pseudo-scientific theories such as Lysenkoism, whereas fields of real knowledge, as genetics, cybernetics and comparative linguistics were condemned and forbidden as "bourgeois pseudoscience". Propaganda was one of the many ways the Soviet Union tried to control its citizens.
