At the end of World War II, the Soviets established significant influence over Poland by installing a communist government aligned with Moscow, effectively undermining the pre-war democratic government. The Yalta Conference in 1945 resulted in agreements that favored Soviet control in Eastern Europe, leading to the imposition of a socialist regime in Poland. This political shift was marked by the suppression of opposition, including the elimination of non-communist parties, and the establishment of a security apparatus to maintain Soviet dominance in the region. The result was a long-lasting impact on Poland's political landscape, contributing to decades of authoritarian rule.

Did Russia Invade Poland because the Poland was weak?

If you mean the invasion in World War II under the Nazi-Soviet pact, it was certainly not because Poland was "weak." Poland had just defeated the Soviets in the Polish-Soviet War in 1919-1920. Instead, the Soviets, along with the Germans, wished to destroy all ethnic Poles. Stalin also held a grudge against the Polish for his court-martial after the Polish-Soviet war. The Soviets were responsible for nearly as many deaths as the Germans, and they didn't respect the rights of POWs.
