Geez, it's like you go and get absorbed into one ostensibly socialist authoritarian eurasian empire and it's all anyone can remember.

Czechoslovakia was never part of the USSR
Neither was Poland, but both were very much in the "2nd sphere", effectively under the control of the USSR. My family had close friends in Czechoslovakia who flat-out were not allowed to travel to the US to visit their family at the time, for example.
Oh yeah it was very much under USSR control don't get me wrong
It was part of the empire though.
