Iron Curtain: Living Under Soviet Occupation
The Hand of Moscow
Season 1 Episode 1 of 3
In 1945, as his Red Army advanced towards Berlin to liberate Europe from Nazism, Stalin pursued another goal - to join the countries of Eastern Europe to his empire. In just a few years he succeeded in imposing the Soviet totalitarian model with an iron fist across Poland, Hungary, East Germany and Czechoslovakia. Citizens of those nations tell their stories of how their countries were occupied and transformed into communist states
