The Soviet Union (USSR) has often been accused of being a "great red empire" by spreading imperialism onto Eastern Europe and the rest of the world. The post-war Stalinist foreign policy is characterized by radical expansionism and domination of Eastern Europe. After the allied Triumph in 1945 against the [[w:Axis Powers|Axis Powers]], the Stalinist USSR implemented the policies of domination of Eastern Europe. The forceful imposition of the communist state system and ideology by the Stalinist USSR, as well as the overt emphasis on heavy industry development in Eastern Europe, have similarities to the practice of [[File:Colonial.png]] colonialism. The Eastern European satellites were economically reliant on the USSR and was subjected to the red army’s iron fist rule, and the USSR forced these countries to reject the [[w:Marshall Plan|Marshall Plan]].<ref>[https://rm.coe.int/0900001680799694], RM.COE.Int</ref>

The [[w:Cominform|Cominform]], for example, was formed to exert direct control over the Soviet satellite states within the [[w:Eastern Bloc|Soviet sphere of influence]] and give the USSR the power to intervene their politics directly.<ref>[https://kipdf.com/the-tito-stalin-split-a-reassessment-in-light-of-new-evidence_5ad1cfbd7f8b9a41758b45ea.html ''"The Tito-Stalin Split: A reassessment in light of new evidence."''], KIPDF.com.</ref> Czechoslovakian Prime Minister [[File:EdvardBenes.png]] [[Liberal Socialism|Edvard Beneš]] was also forced to resign following the threats of red army invasion of the country. Stalin’s successors, including [[File:NikitaKhrushchev.png]] [[Khrushchevism|Nikita Khrushchev]] and [[File:Brezhnev.png]] [[Marxism-Leninism|Leonid Brezhnev]], albeit being less exploitive than the Stalinist regime, largely continued the policy of violent suppression of [[w:Anti-communist resistance|anti-Soviet uprisings]] through the repression of protests, military invasions and force regime change in these countries.
