Summary/Abstract: At the end of World War II, Europe’s future was unclear. Eastern Europe was liberated by the Soviet Red Army and Western Europe by the UK-US alliance from German occupation. The rivalry during the First Berlin Crisis between the wartime allies the US and the USSR would turn into the Cold War. From 1947 to 1956, the Soviet administration established several socialist satellite regimes in Eastern Europe. Consequently, opposition acts emerged in Eastern Europe. The opposition movements that intensified after the death of Stalin in 1953would change shape after 1956 and continue in their new format until the end of the Cold War.
