1) Political control through puppet communist regimes — after WWII the USSR installed and backed local communist parties, engineered rigged elections, purges and show trials, and placed pro‑Moscow leaders and security services in power (e.g., Poland, East Germany, Bulgaria) to ensure governments followed Soviet policy.
2) Military force and alliances — the Red Army remained stationed in many countries and the Warsaw Pact gave the USSR a framework to intervene; when satellite states tried to liberalize the USSR used force (Hungary, 1956; Czechoslovakia, 1968) to crush reforms and deter dissent.
