Russia, known as the Soviet Union at the time, had a communist government and therefore a socialist economy. After World War II, it spread communism all throughout Eastern Europe, mostly by force. Western Europe remained democratic and capitalist, which is the type of economy most used today. The division between democracy/capitalism and communism/socialism was one of the major causes of the Cold War.
