> Soviet Poland

Small correction and historical note: Poland, like the other USSR-aligned countries such as Czechoslovakia and Hungary, while under the oppressive thumb of the Soviet regime and the regimes they installed in those countries, were not part of the Soviet Union. So they weren't Soviet, but they most certainly were communist, or rather, socialist people's republics.

Hmm, but we still got paid a visit in 1968 and had Russian nukes ready in case capitalists crossed the border.
