Similar things happened in other Soviet occupied countries that would become part of the Eastern Block. Otherwise transplanting a political and ideological system from the USSR wouldn't have worked, not without replacing the then current intelligentsia with a new one, ideologically aligned with the USSR. I'm always thankful to the Polish because they sparked the 1989 revolutions with Lech Wałęsa's Solidarność movement.
