		The Soviet Union occupied the eastern portion of the European continent and the northern portion of the Asian continent.

		In the Cold War, it became widely common to allege that any given state was simply a puppet of another, a tendency that largely reflected the view that the Cold War was predominantly a conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union.
		The United States consistently alleged that the Eastern European members of the Warsaw Pact, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, and East Germany, were Soviet satellite states centrally controlled by Moscow.
		As a rationale for this action, the Soviet Union expressed the Brezhnev Doctrine, which stated that it was the duty of all socialist states to protect any socialist state from falling to capitalism.

	Kielce - Part 3
		Poland was forcibly made to be a communist state that was not formally a part of the Soviet Union, but a "satellite state" that was tightly ruled as part of the Soviet empire.
		The Soviet postwar aim was to get rid of the British mandate in Palestine and play a more active role in the strategically vital Middle East while consolidating their grip on the newly acquired satellite empire.
		Toward this end the Soviets committed numerous acts of terror to pressure Jews to emigrate out of the satellite states to be able to join the struggle for Israel.

		She also became a member of the Communist Party of the Soviet Ukraine and, after election to the Soviet of the Ukraine, was elected as a Ukrainian deputy to the Supreme Soviet of the USSR in Moscow.
		As for the Polish-Soviet frontier, the manifesto stated it was to be settled on the basis of "self-determination.."This gave the false impression that it might be decided by a plebiscite, thus leaving the predominantly Polish areas, especially Lwow and Wilno, in Poland.
		Soviet and Polish communist historians always claimed that Rokossovsky's Army group could not have taken west bank Warsaw in the period August 1 -October 2, 1944, because it was too exhausted by its summer offensive and its supply lines were too long.

	Articles - Communist state (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		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.
		States that incorporate the policies and techniques of the orthodox Stalinist state of the 1930s are characteristically more totalitarian, impoverished, militaristic, and static, as can be seen in North Korea and Communist Albania.
		States such as China have benefitted from market reforms introduced by the Communist Party, but attempts to dramatically reform the Soviet Union under Mikhail Gorbachev contributed to its collapse as the Communist Party was unable to maintain its grip on power.

	The East German communists and the origins of the Berlin blockade crisis
		Soviet generals, for example, cognizant of their nation's earlier treatment at the hands of German soldiers, permitted assorted attacks on Berlin's citizens, including murder, rape, and banishment.
		The fact that the Soviet army won the race to Berlin, and denied Western access to the city until July 4, likely determined that Berlin would be a center of international conflict should East-West relations decline.(6) Stalin recognized the special importance of the Soviet occupation zone.
		The Unied States, Great Britain and the Soviet Union had decided by the London agreements of September 12 and November 14, 1944, that Germany should be occupied jointly and divided into three zones, with Berlin divided into three sectors.

	The Fall of Communism in Eastern Europe
		The fact that the Soviet Union, and more specifically Russia, was imposing its power on the nations within its sphere of influence did not help it to become a popular ally of these much smaller countries.
		The subsequent hatred of the communist system and of those enforced its existence were enough to eventually topple the satellite state system and eventually the Soviet Union itself.
		Hatred for the Soviet system and the resentment of the fact that communism was forced upon them was another were the reasons for the satellite states opposition to membership in the Soviet Empire.

	Satellite state - free-definition (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		By analogy to stellar objects orbiting a larger object, such as planets revolving around the sun, the term Satellite state refers to a country which is formally sovereign but is in fact dominated by a larger neighboring hegemonial power.
		In extreme cases, satellite countries may be virtual colonies with little political, economic or military independence.
		Other great powers, including the United States, Nazi Germany and China, are sometimes also said to have (or have had) satellites.

	Russia - Telecommunications - Satellite TV, DirecTV, Dish Network
		During the Soviet period, the state controlled all means of communications and used them primarily to convey decisions and to facilitate the execution of government directives affecting the economy, national security, and administrative governmental functions.
		This centralization forced the Soviet Union to acquire the means to deliver signals over a vast area and provided the impetus for the development of satellite communications, which began with the launching of the Molniya satellite communications system in 1965.
		In 1995 Russian State Television was partially privatized when 49 percent of its shares were sold to private companies, but the company remains under state control.

	Pravda.RU John Fleming: The Shocking Menace of Satellite Surveillance Full version of the article
		Perhaps those under satellite surveillance are mainly the powerless, but wealthy and famous people make more interesting targets, as it were, so despite their power to resist an outrageous violation of their privacy, a few of them may be victims of satellite surveillance.
		However, the capability of a satellite for multiple-target monitoring is even harder to estimate than the number of satellites; it may be connected to the number of transponders on each satellite, the transponder being a key device for both receiving and transmitting information.
		A satellite beam can also be locked onto a human target, with the victim being unable to evade the menace by running around or driving around, and can cause harm through application of pressure on, for example, one’s head.

		But at the same time the Soviet Union faced huge domestic problems such as a rapidly failing economy and a one party political system that was not very adaptable to the political and social conditions that the country existed in.
		The collapse of the Soviet Union was due in a large part to the poor performance of the country's economy.
		It is evident therefore that any breakaway states and any opposition to USSR membership would have constituted a serious threat to the international prestige of the Empire and a complete failure of the satellite state system would almost have certainly resulted in the collapse of the Soviet Union.

		Since the Soviets had no aversion for interlacing the military with space, they used their new SS-6 ICBM as the booster allowing faster development than with the US's "from scratch" approach.
		Moreover, none of the US intelligence services knew where the Soviet factories were, much less their capacity for manufacturing the necessary electronics and other "high-tech" materials required for large-scale missile production.(66) Because of the lack of concrete information, US intelligence agencies turned to their best performer, the U-2.
		Beyond the problems in acquiring data on satellites, it became obvious that the US tracking network would soon be overwhelmed by the tremendous number of satellites that followed Sputnik and Vanguard.

	Rice Encourages Democracy for Belarus :: Charter'97 :: News :: 22/04/2005
		Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice (search) focused the international spotlight Thursday on a former Soviet satellite state where dissidents are fighting for democratic reforms.

Her session on Thursday with Belarussian dissidents visiting with her at the NATO summit in Lithuania was designed to advance the pro-democracy wave that has swept over other former Soviet satellites in recent months.
		While the United States funnels about $8 million a year to help the opposition in Belarus, Rice neither endorsed nor condemned street protests as a vehicle for change.
