Paper Summary:

This paper examines how the past ten years have seen great changes in the formerly communist countries of Eastern Europe and how bound together for years under the Soviet yoke, these nations have now embarked upon their own individual paths as sovereign states. In particular it looks at Russia, Poland, and Hungary and how all three once shared a common form of government and a single social system. It analyzes how these three distinct nations were put together into the crucible of the Communist State and how each have emerged re-cast in a different manner. Russia, Poland and Hungary seek their own futures in the contemporary world.

From the Paper:

"The Communist state as it came to exist in the Soviet Bloc was first developed in Russia. In many ways, many of its principles were deeply ingrained in Russian History. The autocracy of the tsars was reflected in the authoritarian nature of the communist party and state apparatus. Just as the Tsar of All the Russia had once demanded absolute and unquestioning obedience from his many subject peoples, so too did the Russian Communist State demand unblinking loyalty from its citizens. And as no power was beyond the tsar, so was no aspect of political, social, or cultural control outside the scope of the ruling Communist party. The Communist Party as first led by Vladimir Illyich Lenin, and further developed by Joseph Stalin, controlled every aspect of its people's lives."
