The USSR sent their army into these places during WW II, s and set up governments that it supported by military force if uprisings occurred.
The Soviet Union was a winner of the war and the damned Roosevelt and Churchill ceded these countries to Soviet Union.

They pretty much had to endure the same kind of Governmental system as the USSR itself did- totalitarian Communism, with no freedom of expression, shortages, few human rights, restriction of movement, and continual surveillance of the populace to make sure that nobody was doing anything that could undermine the State. On the positive side though everybody had employment, everyone had housing, free medical care, free education and, despite the fact that food was basic and could sometimes be scarce, none of the mass starvations that the Soviet Union underwent in the early years of Stalin's rule. Although private land or housing ownership was not allowed, people could own their own furniture, enter into hire-purchase schemes to buy a car, and enjoy not ungenerous holiday time.

Conditions did vary from country to country however- some of them were more liberal than others. Bulgaria and the Baltic states enjoyed greater liberalisation than the likes of Romania and east Germany, it entirely depended upon what each nation's Premier was like. The Bulgarian government was far more inclined to turn a blind eye to 'transgressions' than Romania under Nicolae Ceaucescu, who was a very nasty man and responsible for the execution and torture of tens of thousands of innocent people. None of the Warsaw Pact countries though, could be more than so liberal before the Soviet Union decided they were going too far and put pressure on the nation's leadership to rein things in. If The Kremlin felt that this was not being done enough then they would invade to install a new Government that was more to their liking, as in Hungary in 1956 and Czechoslovakia in 1968 / 69. On other occasions, the nation's leaders would themselves impose martial law to prevent growing discontent provoking a Soviet invasion, as General Jaruzelski did in Poland in 1981.

The one Communist bloc that escaped this threat of Soviet intervention was the former Yugoslavia, which was itself a federation of states that are now independent. It was considerably more liberal than any Eastern European satellite nation, yet the USSR tolerated this, albeit with some discontent. It may have been that for much of Yugoslavia's existence it was governed by Marshal Tito, who was admired by the Russians as a brave leader of the Partisan struggle against the Nazi's during the war- but nobody is quite sure, it's just something that was the case.

The main reason was because Josef Stalin hated democracy and he was a selfish, evil man. He kept them for his own personal reasons but I don't think the Soviet Union Politburo objected much.
