No. Its Western counterpart NATO survived the Cold War, but the Warsaw Pact disbanded in 1991.
A unified Germany survived the Cold War.
The Warsaw Pact, established in 1955, was a military alliance of communist nations in Eastern Europe, led by the Soviet Union, in response to NATO. It solidified the division of Europe into two opposing blocs, reinforcing the ideological and military tensions of the Cold War. The Pact facilitated Soviet control over Eastern Europe and allowed for coordinated military strategies against perceived Western threats, exacerbating the arms race and contributing to the geopolitical rivalry that defined the Cold War era. Its dissolution in 1991 marked a significant turning point, signaling the decline of Soviet influence and the end of the Cold War.
Other than the "hot battles" of the cold war; Korea & Vietnam, no armies were used during the cold war. If any armies had been used...there would not have been a cold war! It would have been World War III. The standard "standing armies" (armies that existed but were never used) were the NATO (and the short lived SEATO) and Warsaw Pact armies. The Warsaw Pact armies were the USSR's version of the free world's NATO armies. Another words, had there been a war (instead of a cold war); NATO would have fought the Warsaw Pact armies.
The NATO became a peacekeeping organization
