  1. Also Known As: The Eastern Bloc By: Daijah Barrett and Devonna Hodge-Simmons

  2. What Is It? The Eastern Bloc, or Soviet Bloc is about former communist states of Central and Eastern Europe. The term and Soviet Bloc were also used to indicate groupings of states aligned with the Soviet Union, although this might involve states outside Central and Eastern Europe.

  3. When Was It Created? During the time of the Cold War (1939-1945) the US and the Soviet Union cooperated with each other as allies because both were being threatened by Hitler. But soon after the war was over their alliance was over. Both had major differences such as politics and power protection.

  4. What countries were involved? There were many countries involved in the Soviet Bloc. It was mainly consisted of Eastern and Central Europe, but there were other countries outside of that. Romania, Poland, Soviet Union, East Germany, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, Albania, Hungary, and Bulgaria were involved in the Soviet Bloc.

  5. “Flight from the Republic” The Soviet Bloc was strictly controlled. People who choose to leave to non-socialist countries were called, Republikflucht; this term came from Eastern Germany. The “flight from the Republic” was a propaganda booklet by Socialist Unity Party of Germany. It stated that “leaving the GDR is an act of political and moral backwardness and depravity.

  6. Effects of the non-involved The people who didn’t want to be involved in the Soviet Union were punished. If they escaped from it they were assigned to harsh sentences, sometimes death. People who weren’t involved caused of the collapse of the Soviet Union. The system wasn’t what people wanted, therefore, they left the union.
