"Then, shifting the conversation to political matters, he declared: 'You removed Stalin and Khrushchev, and tomorrow you'll get rid of Brezhnev. The Czechs would be better off doing business with the West than with the Soviet Union. The Soviet people have us by the neck. It would be better if the Germans had destroyed half of Prague than for you to come with your tanks into the capital of Czechoslovakia. You Communists are worse than the imperialists.
During the check of documents at the border crossing, it was established that this individual was the CSSR Consul-General in Kyiv, Josef Gorak, who was traveling from the Soviet Union to the CSSR on diplomatic passport No. 004842.'

I really wonder why the Soviet Union would invade them, especially after the Hungarian Revolution, where the main leaders of the "revolution" literally wanted direct NATO support and a possible fucking world war to happen.
They weren't economic colonies either. The only one-sided economic transaction that happened between the Warsaw Pact and the USSR was reparations, and that was with Germany for obvious and good reasons. Speaking of colonies, Afghanistan asked for Soviet help, dipshit.

"The reserved attitude of the people and part of the Czechoslovak Peoples Armed Forces' officers towards the Allied Armed Forces has slowly been changing. Individual groups of citizens, who gather in front of the Commandant's offices and talk to our officers, have started to agree with and approve of our actions. Contacts with workers and old communists who express readiness to co-operate in exposing the counter-revolutionary elements in the enterprises and offices have become more frequent. There have been cases of communists from the [nearby] factories and officers from the Czechoslovak Armed Forces seeking contact with our units. Indicative of the latter are the greetings for the Bulgarian Peoples Armed Forces holiday from the Commanders of 49th Artillery Regiment – town of BREZNO and the Company Commander to State Security Committee in GRONSEK (10 km south of BANSKA BYSTRICE). On 20 September Major Kubinek Anton and his Deputy Political Commander Capt. Libov Kula came in person in the Commandant's office in BANSKA BYSTRICE. They stated that they fully supported our troops' arrival and admitted that there was a counter-revolution in CSSR. Their greeting reads: “… You arrived in our country on time to defend the achievements of our working class, achievements that have been acquired with the help of the glorious Soviet Army. Together with the Western reaction, the internal reaction has recently taken upon a struggle to liquidate the leading role of the Communist Party in our country. We know very well why they do that. We are aware that we cannot find a better place to live than within the great Slav family and the great socialist states family.”
They asked us not to publish this letter in the press, which shows that they are still afraid of the counter-revolutionary elements within the Army."

This graph is bullshit. Firstly, it makes it seem, as if both countries started at the same place with heightening the bars to the same level, although the GDR had only half the BIP of West-Germany. I also can't find any traces of the percentage numbers presented in the actual source, which in it of itself seems pretty unreliable. Just link the original. I don't understand why you would fake these numbers when the actual numbers are also showing that the GDR had a higher BIP growth (although it seems as if there were also other factors influencing that)

Fuck off, Gerhard Heske was in charge of statistics for economic planning in the DDR and the BRD, his statistics are even featured in the mainstream media, but also on the German government program for polticial education. Sources:
zeit.de
m.bpb.de
The graph is 100% correct and backed up by data although making the left one higher is obviously a visual trick but the numbers are correct, as the German government itself admits.
Not everybody speaks German dude
Such as?

still waiting on those sources for the USSR imperialist exploitation
but i guess faggots crying "autism" over being mocked for their utterly retarded hoxhaite-maoist anti-soviet "propaganda" (shitting out claims that got jack shit to do with ML theory) is all i'll get
in a fucking thread about the GDR
