 * Albania and Romania weren't as tightly woven into the Eastern Bloc as the other nations were.

 * Yes, Albania and Romania were Communist States and were not part of the USSR. In fact, the DDR, Poland and all those other countries in red were never part of the USSR either! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.142.19.50 (talk) 15:40, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
