Aidan Wong · Answer 2

Any opening policies or any liberalization moves in the Soviet Union led to some reforms or political openings in the Eastern Bloc, even prompting leadership changes. One example is the 20th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union in February 1956, in which the new Soviet top leader Nikita Khrushchev critized the actions and the regime of his predecessor, Joseph Stalin. This led to some liberalization moves in the Soviet Union and behind the Iron Curtain in general.
