After WW2 he wanted to install pro-communist, pro-USSR governments. His theory was that because Russia / USSR had been invaded twice in 25 years from Europe and Stalin feared another war starting in that way again, so he did everything he colt to keep those pro governments in place.

Why did vm molotov object the marshall plan?

he did not object to it....Stalin did and this was because he was still not too sure whether to stay as an ally of the U.S.A or to split off from it. But he was not prepared to hand over economic data to the U.S.A. He also thought that this was to take away the Soviet sphere of influence in eastern Europe as if the countries in eastern Europe accepted, he didn't want them to become too dependant on the U.S dollar.

Do you see any similarities or differences in the rise of communism in many Eastern European countries and the rise of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party in Germany?

Certainly the Nazi Party & Hitler's popularity grew in Germany, based on National Reichstag (Parliament) Elections from 1928 to 1932. However, Communism did not "rise" in Eastern Europe & East Germany after World War Two. It was imposed by brutal force by Stalin's Soviet Union when his nation occupied Eastern Europe when Hitler was defeated. Both the Nazis & Communists were evil totalitarian tyrants, however in Germany the Nazis were elected into power after being fooled by Nazi propaganda. In Eastern Europe those people did not want communism, and tried to resist.
