	Creation of communist bloc
		In almost each country, "liberated" by The Red Army, the first communist changes took place before the war was ended.
		Although it corresponded to the anti- fascist attitudes of local people the repression was accepted and initiated by the communists.
		Under auspices of the fight with fascism, the wave of terror also aimed at the opponents of communism.

	Communist Bloc Expansion in the Early Cold War: Challenging Realism, Refuting Revisionism
		The Chinese communists closely followed Stalin's advice by responding to a Nationalist offer for peace negotiations with terms that they knew would be unacceptable.(57) These tactics were quite similar to those used by the Soviets in their "peace offensive" in Europe and elsewhere in 1949.
		In their new role as bloc leader in the region, the Chinese began a large-scale effort in Indochina to support the Viet Minh under the leadership of Ho Chi Minh, as well as to help the Vietnamese reorganize the Cambodian and Laotian communists who had been members of the Indochinese Communist Party in the 1930s.
		The effects of bloc members' local successes on the willingness of the Soviet Union as bloc leader to interpret capitalism as in general crisis and to take risks elsewhere are also either ignored or poorly understood.

	Eastern bloc - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		During the Cold War, the term Eastern Bloc (or Soviet Bloc) was used to refer to the Soviet Union and its allies in Central and Eastern Europe (Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Hungary, Poland, Romania, and - until the early 1960s - Albania).
		The "Eastern Bloc" is also used as another name for the Warsaw Pact (a Soviet-led military alliance) or the Comecon (an international economic organization of Communist states), also known as the Dinamo countries.
		Although it was a Communist state, its leader, Marshal Tito, came to power through his efforts as a partisan resistance leader during World War II, and thus he was not installed by the Soviet Red Army, and he owed the Soviet leadership no allegiance.

	Communist state - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Communist states have a centrally planned economy, a rigid system based on collectively owned property, although some Communist states such as the People's Republic of China have allowed some controlled private investment in an effort to expand their economies.
		Most of the Communist states in the world were established in the aftermath of World War II in Eastern Europe, either in countries which were liberated from the Nazis by the Soviet Red Army, or in countries where Communist-led partisans succeeded in driving out the Nazis and taking power themselves.
		Communist states have maintained a large secret police apparatus to closely monitor the population and silence those deemed "enemies of the state." Arrest, torture, "reeducation" and summary execution are all methods that have been employed.

	21 February 1962--CIA estimate Vietnam
		Although the Communist powers have some differences of view as to tactics and priorities and the risks to be run in pursuing their objectives, they have thus far maintained a basic unity of ultimate objectives and a high degree of policy coordination with respect to Southeast Asia.
		Nevertheless, the Communists are unlikely to pursue actions involving substantial risk of direct US military involvement so long as they continue to believe that they have a good chance of achieving their objectives in Laos by legal, political means.
		The Communist Bloc long-range objectives in Southeast Asia are to remove all vestiges of US influence and presence and to establish Communist regimes throughout the area.

	Foreign Affairs - Polycentrism and Western Policy - George F. Kennan
		And beyond this framework, there are a large number of Communist parties not in power which are greatly torn and bewildered by this division; and some of these parties have an important voice in bloc affairs, even though they lack the prestige that comes of being in power in their respective countries.
		Finally, while they cannot leave the Communist military alliance, the satellite régimes could, conceivably, if conditions were right, help to deëmphasize the military factor to a point where it would not stand in the way of at least a partial political rapprochement with some of their Western neighbors.
		If there is really strength in unity, Communist leaders can only be grateful for a Western policy which slights the values of polycentrism and declines to encourage them; for a rigidly unreceptive Western attitude may eventually enforce upon the bloc a measure of unity which, by their own unaided effort, they could never have achieved.

	Berlin Wall - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		However, the creation of the Wall was a propaganda disaster for East Germany and for the communist bloc as a whole.
		This had ramifications for the whole Communist bloc and particularly the Soviet Union, because East Germany's economy was being subsidised by the Soviet government, and simultaneously, the now-threatened East German production was responsible for all war reparations to Poland and the Soviet Union.

	Communist Parties, India
		The All India Forward Bloc or Forward Bloc (FB), an ally of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) in the West Bengal government, and with 3 members in the Lok Sabha, uses a red flag with a white hammer and sickle and a leaping tiger.
		This can be because several communist parties have very similar flags and people use an electoral emblem to differentiate themselves, or due to a poor identification, or even because of regional variants.
		Of all these communist parties, only the last would seem to be significantly different from any of the others, unless there are variations in the drawing of the hamer and sickle.

		It was therefore a surprise to people in the communist bloc that communists from the Soviet Bloc had gone to Helsinki, Finland in 1975 and signed a Human Rights Agreement with the West.

		The bloc is planning a founding conference on 7 August--shortly before President Boris Yeltsin’s inauguration which is now set for 9 August--when it will form a shadow cabinet and discuss its possible participation in the new government.
		Zyuganov sees the movement based on his electoral bloc as a “wide national association” that will be “wider than any party.” The second party is the “party of power.” The much-heralded “third force” did not materialize, and all politicians from Zhirinovsky to Yavlinskii ended up joining that party, Zyuganov said.
		In a political sense, it’s a major failure of the strategy of the left bloc, which was not able to compare its resources to those opposing it, place the correct emphasis on its ideological and tactical plans, and carry out qualified and impartial analytical work.

	Castro turns 76, hoping to ensure communist legacy - JAMAICAOBSERVER.COM (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The world's longest consecutively ruling leader, Castro, or Fidel as he is commonly called here, was born on August 13, 1926 in Biran, a town in Holguin province in eastern Cuba, the son of a Spanish immigrant landowner and his Cuban-born second wife, who had been his housekeeper.
		But his famous work ethic has not eased, and when in Cuba he usually wears his signature green fatigues, a reminder that for him, the revolution is still very much under way.
		Unlike many eastern European former Soviet-bloc nations, however, his Communist Party never changed its name to socialist when retooling; and while resorting to market economics when in a pinch, Castro has never reformed the top-down political system he leads.
