This refers to the pattern of establishing communist governments, mainly by military means, in Eastern Europe, the Baltic states, and client states such as Cuba and North Vietnam. The USSR encouraged and supported socialist and communist governments in Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean.
The Soviet Bloc
The presence of Soviet troops in many parts of Europe after World War II meant that governments could be formed, or coerced, into communist forms. In Eastern Europe and the Baltic, countries became satellite states of the USSR in the Soviet bloc, as represented militarily by the Warsaw Pact. East Germany was under Soviet rule for over 40 years.
If a country tried to change its government (as Hungary did in 1956), the USSR could military invade and take control, effectively creating puppet governments that would support Soviet policies. These countries provided labor, raw materials, and other commerce that benefitted the chief republic of the USSR, which was Russia. This allowed the USSR rulers in Moscow to coordinate a vast quasi-empire to their own benefit rather than that of the smaller constituent republics and the satellite nations outside the USSR.

To invade Poland; to prevent a war with the Soviet Union in 1939. (The Soviets fought the Germans from 1941-1945). It might be better asked as to why the Soviet Union signed Russian-German Non-Aggression Pact, in that the pact was a German proposal.
Why did Hitler ask Stalin to sign a non aggression treaty?
Hitler knew a war was about to start- he wanted to invade Poland, which was allied with France and England. He did not want to repeat World War I, where Germany was stuck fighting against France, England and Russia at the same time. So he made the non-aggression pact to keep the Soviet Union (Russia) out of the war. This was successful. Eventually Hitler broke the treaty and attacked the Soviet Union.
