They responded with force and put down any unrest or uprisings.

Here are two examples:

June, 1953, East Germany. Construction workers in East Berlin began the protests, demanding an increase in work hours and calling for a general strike. The call to strike was broadcast over Radio in the American Sector (RIAS) in West Berlin and heard throughout East Germany. Over a million workers in 700 cities and towns heeded the call to strike on June 17, 1953. The Soviet Union responded swiftly and harshly, declaring a state of emergency and sending in tanks to larger cities where protests were occurring.
October/November, 1956 - Hungary.Protesters took to the streets in Hungary in October, 1956, demanding freedom from Soviet domination and more democratic political processes. Soviet domination and oppression continued relentlessly, as the USSR sent tanks and troops and crushed the Hungarian Uprising. Thousands of Hungarians were killed or wounded and over 200,000 fled the country.

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

After the end of World War II, Soviet forces occupied the country, seeking dominance of their Socialist Ideology, and there they stayed throughout the Cold War.

Occupying it was how they managed to take control of this portion of the country. Their ideological war against the United States' Capitalism was how they managed to maintain control of the area.

During this period the Berlin Wall was built, and it marked the division between Western and Eastern Germany.

Answer:

Bryce Harrington, I believe.

Explanation:

Wikipedia by some teachers are not reliable, but if your teacher allows wikipedia, I totally understand that! The person who created the article was "Bryce Harrington", therefore I would think he was the article-creator. And wikipedia is a source where anyone can edit. But, in my opinion I would say Bryce Harrington is the author or at least the article-creator. The article was created in 2002, on September 24th.
