Research Question

The Soviet occupation of Eastern Europe during the Cold War brought censorship to many countries.  But was this suppression of freedom effective? What was the motive to bring this censorship?  Did the motive of the Soviets prove to work, in other words, did the Soviets achieve what they wanted from the censorship?


To find out what I am going to need, I am going to have to research different topics concerning the Soviet Union and their goals of the occupation of Eastern Europe.  Then I am going to look specifically into two main examples of the occupation in which there was a social revolt, one in Czechoslovakia and one in Hungary.  Once I have specifically introduced these events, I am going to show that the Soviet Union failed with their censorship of radio, news, etc., and how the that freedom of speech is essentially an unstoppable force that people demand.
