I don't know where you're going with this but it did help that we were separated geographically from the USSR whereas the Balkan states and Eastern Europe were not so lucky.
OK.
How does that help the USSR control your politics? Why didn't they use the 'brilliant' tactics they used on your country on their own neighbors?
You can't face reality, and you can't take responsibility.
I also wouldn't say that there's no violent subjugation going on here, as though thugs don't routinely attack anyone to the right of Stalin.
Yes, that is what I said. You expect me to believe that the people who couldn't control their neighbors, who couldn't control themselves, somehow 'infiltrated' a country across the other side of the globe - so that it's still under their sway 30 years after their collapse.
