The closest non-communist European countries to the Soviet Union were Finland, Austria, and Yugoslavia. Finland shared a lengthy border with the Soviet Union and maintained a policy of neutrality during the Cold War. Austria, after World War II, became a neutral country and was situated directly adjacent to Soviet-controlled territories. Yugoslavia, while communist, had a distinct non-aligned stance and maintained a degree of independence from Soviet influence.
No, Slovenia was not part of the Soviet Union. It was one of the six republics of Yugoslavia, a socialist federation that existed from 1946 until the early 1990s. While Yugoslavia was aligned with the Soviet bloc during the Cold War, it maintained a degree of independence from the Soviet Union. Slovenia declared its independence from Yugoslavia in 1991.
At the close of World War 2, Yugoslavia had managed to liberate itself from the Axis powers with only limited direct support from the Soviets. This meant that at the end of the war the Soviet Union did not have a military foothold in Yugoslavia and the Yugoslav Communists were not 'indebted' to the Soviet Union for helping to liberate their country.
Since the question isn't open ended, the answer will be simple. The country was Yugoslavia. It was free of Soviet control after WWII. It's government was under Tito.

Yugoslavia and the USSR (Soviet Union)
Yugoslavia
At the close of World War 2, Yugoslavia had managed to liberate itself from the Axis powers with only limited direct support from the Soviets. This meant that at the end of the war the Soviet Union did not have a military foothold in Yugoslavia and the Yugoslav Communists were not 'indebted' to the Soviet Union for helping to liberate their country.
No, Yugoslavia did not remain part of the Soviet bloc. Although it was a communist state after World War II, it followed a non-aligned path and distanced itself from Soviet influence, particularly after the Tito-Stalin split in 1948. Yugoslavia pursued an independent foreign policy, aligning itself with neither the Soviet Union nor the Western bloc during the Cold War.

Probably because the Soviets were never in Yugoslavia. Yugoslva, which no longer exists, was a socialist country until 1991 but it was never a Soviet country. The Soviets had no real influence because after WW2 Yugoslavia freed itself from Nazi Germany and Italy without the need for significant Soviet (Russian) support. Because of this Yugoslavia was able to make its own way in the world without following the Soviet government's wishes.
They were both communist, but Yugoslavia was independent, while Poland was a Soviet satellite state.
