The people of the Soviet Union had mixed reactions to the independence of Eastern European countries in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Many felt a sense of loss and nostalgia for the stability provided by Soviet rule, while others celebrated the newfound freedoms and opportunities for self-determination. The independence movements were often seen as a threat by Soviet authorities, leading to efforts to suppress dissent. Ultimately, the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991 further fueled both discontent and hope among various groups within the USSR.

What Symbolizes the soviet union's control over the people of eastern Europe?

(Iron Curtain)By 1946, less than a year after the end of World War II, it became clear that the Soviet Union planned to control the Poles, Hungarians, Romanians, and other people of Eastern Europe. Stalin forced communist government on these people. He also used his secret police to arrest anyone who opposed his rule.Many Eastern Europeans tried to escape Soviet control by fleeing to the West. But the Soviets stopped them by building a barbed wire fence which cut off Eastern Europe from the West. They also blocked trade between the eastern and western parts of Europe. Winston Churchill called the Soviet-controlled border between the East and West the "Iron Curtain."
