Abstract: Practical power politics as well as ideological considerations were at the root of the Soviet seizure of Eastern Europe at the end of World War II. While Soviet policy has since Stalin's death become more flexible, the basic as sumptions and motives have apparently not changed. In its own view, Moscow cannot afford to abandon Eastern Europe even if, in material and military terms, the area becomes a liability.
