Soviet Expansion in the East

Why? Twenty million Russians died during the Second World War Stalin said he wanted a “buffer zone” of friendly states around Russia to make sure that Russia could never be invaded again. During the war, Communists from the occupied countries of Eastern Europe escaped to Moscow and set up Communist governments in exile there.

In the countries that the Red Army "liberated", communist-dominated governments took power The Communists made sure that they controlled the army, set up a secret police force, and began to arrest their opponents. Non- Communists were gradually beaten, murdered, executed and terrified out of power. By 1949, all the governments of Eastern Europe, except Yugoslavia, were hard line Stalinist regimes.
