  Eastern Europe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In many sources, the term "Eastern Europe" still encompasses most, or all, such European countries that until the end of the Cold War (around 1989) were Communist states or countries under Soviet influence, i.e., the former "Eastern Bloc".
In recent years, since the dissolution of the Soviet Union (1991), the term "Eastern Europe" is sometimes used to identify a region, in effect retroactively, as consisting only of those European countries that were parts of the Soviet Union itself.
Most of Europe's historically Protestant and Roman Catholic countries (with the exception of Iceland, Norway, Switzerland, Croatia, and the various European microstates) were now EU members, while most of Europe's historically Eastern Orthodox countries (with the exception of Greece and Cyprus) were outside the EU.

 Europe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Europe is bounded to the north by the Arctic Ocean, to the west by the Atlantic Ocean, to the south by the Mediterranean Sea, and–according to the traditional geographic definition–to the southeast by the waterways adjoining the Mediterranean to and including the Black Sea, and the Caucasus Mountains (in Caucasia).
Europe's eastern frontier is vague, but has traditionally been given as the divide of the Ural Mountains and the Caspian Sea to the southeast.
From the end of World War II through the end of the Cold War, Europe was divided into two major political and economic blocks: Communist nations in Eastern Europe (with the exceptions of Turkey and Greece) and Capitalist countries in Southern Europe and Western Europe.

 Eastern Europe, by David Lipton: The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics: Library of Economics and Liberty
While there were substantial differences among countries in the region, the people of Eastern Europe found goods increasingly unavailable at official prices, longer queues and bigger shortages, an absence of imported consumer goods, and in some cases, a deterioration in public services and basic utilities such as heat and hot water.
As the new governments of Eastern Europe surveyed the ruins of the communist system and prepared to transform their economies, they were initially preoccupied with the question of whether to free prices from centralized control quickly in order to cope with the shortages, high inflation, and scarcity of dollars.
The growth in Eastern European exports is vital to the modernization of the region because it provides the finance for needed imports of capital and technologies.

 Stalin and Eastern Europe
I would like to also say that the design in which he got Eastern Europe was a direct consequence of his luck- the first and foremost based upon Stalin's psyche and the effect it had on the way he interpreted the actions of the West.
Later, weaker eastern European countries fell under the shadow of Communism because their friends in the West were unable or unwilling to come to their defense.
However, if Stalin is to play the historical kidnapper role, with Eastern Europe as the "child," we should put some blame on the "parents." Obviously not realizing that ceding great land area to the Soviets was much like the appeasement a decade earlier, the West once again, gave the lives of millions to a madman.
