Summary/Abstract: At the end of the Second World War, the Soviet Union extended its authority upon the hole that we call “Eastern Europe”. The first tension between the communist states began in July 1946. The soviet leaders had forbidden any direct political and economical contact between Eastern and Western Countries. Czechoslovakia refusal of the ”Marshal aid” at the Moscow order, after having it already accepted, clearly showed the intention of Moscow to keep the control upon the foreign policy of Eastern countries. In 1949 the URSS suggested the creation of the Council of Mutual Economic Assistance (CAER) that had as purpose the creation of a strong economic cooperation between the members.
