The spread of communism
The Soviet leader when Eastern Europe was freed from Soviet control was Mikhail Gorbachev. His policies of Glasnost (openness) and Perestroika (restructuring) in the late 1980s contributed to the decline of Soviet influence in the region. The fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and the subsequent collapse of communist regimes across Eastern Europe occurred during his tenure, leading to significant political changes and the eventual dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991.
The collapse of communism in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe was a series of events that led to the dissolution of communist regimes in the late 1980s and early 1990s. This collapse was spurred by a combination of factors, including economic stagnation, political repression, and popular discontent. The fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 symbolized the end of communist rule in Eastern Europe, while the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991 marked the final collapse of communism in the region.
Perestroika and glasnost, initiated by Mikhail Gorbachev in the Soviet Union during the 1980s, led to significant political and social changes across Eastern Europe. Perestroika, which aimed at restructuring the economy, and glasnost, promoting openness and transparency, encouraged movements for greater freedom and reform in countries like Poland, Hungary, and East Germany. These policies weakened the grip of communist regimes, contributing to the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and the eventual collapse of Soviet influence in the region. Ultimately, they sparked a wave of democratization and the transition to market economies throughout Eastern Europe.

The soviets had expected to win a quick victory
As th Sovet Union 'liberated' the eastern part of Europe from the Nazis at the end of the Second world War, those territories liberated later went under the rule of the Communist Soviet Union. Soviet troops remained in all those countries for about 45 years to ensure the ideological devotion. In all the countries the building of socialism had started (which is the dfirst step to Communism). The countries: Poland, Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary and to some extent Yugoslavia.
