No. The now defunct Soviet Union consisted of many countries that spread from the east of Europe to the east of Asia. Some of the countries in eastern Europe were part of what was known as the Soviet bloc, but not part of the Soviet Union. This would have included countries like Poland, Romania and Bulgaria, amongst others. Some of the eastern European countries, that now have their independence, like Lithuania, Lativa and Estonia, were part of the Soviet Union.

Yes.
What are the us and soviet aims in Europe that conflicted?
At the end of World War 2, The Western Nations of the allied forces wanted all of the European nations to be freed and allowed to be self ruling AND democratic. Democracy hating Dictator Stalin was not going to do that with the nations he took from the Nazi Germans. The continual conflict over this matter between Stalin and FDR and Churchill ended up in a stale mate. Stalin got his nations to keep under communist Soviet rule and the other half of Europe the western allies liberated were allowed to be free and democratic. This sparked The 50 year Cold War.

How did the Soviet Union invade so many eastern European countries?
The Soviet Union invaded those countries with its massive army. Just to give you an idea about the scope of the Soviet Army, the USSR lost 8.7 million soldiers during the war and still managed to conquer half of Europe. The Soviet Union invaded Eastern Europe at the same time that the United States, the United Kingdom, and other Western Allies invaded Western Europe. The difference was that after World War II, the Western Allies withdrew a large portion of their armies and allowed the countries of Western Europe to determine their own governments. The Soviets used their military power to force Eastern European governments to be modeled after the Soviet Union and kept their armies in Eastern European countries to crush dissent.
