the country was occupied and split. On the East side it was straight out annexed and made part of the USSR.
Strange... I grew up in Eastern Germany, yet I don't remember speaking Russian all day or my parents electing somebody to the Kremlin and it is kinda strange that the armed forces did not wear the red star of the Soviet forces.
But hey, I'm sure you know what you're talking about.
(Now, if you had written that the state that was founded out of the Soviet occupation zone was propped up and controlled by the Kremlin and made part of the eastern European system then yes, that would be in line with my experiences in my youth.)
