As coined in a speech March 5th 1946, by Winston Churchill the term for a symbolic boundary dividing Europe into communist & non communist spheres is "the iron curtain"
the iron center
Three nations divided into communist and non-communist were Germany, Korea and Vietnam(until it became completely communist)
Communist governments were established quickly in Eastern Europe after World War II largely due to the power vacuum left by the defeat of Nazi Germany and the influence of the Soviet Union. The USSR sought to expand its sphere of influence by supporting communist parties in these nations, often through military presence and political pressure. Additionally, the social and economic chaos following the war made many people receptive to communist ideologies that promised stability and reform. As a result, communist regimes were installed in several countries with the support or coercion of the Soviet Union.
Satellite nations were like ALLIES to the communist Superpowers.
During the Cold War, Eastern Bloc nations included countries aligned with the Soviet Union, such as Poland, East Germany, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria. These nations were characterized by communist governments and a centrally planned economy, and they were members of the Warsaw Pact, which was established in response to NATO. The Eastern Bloc was marked by political repression and economic challenges, contrasting sharply with the capitalist West.

still rejecting calls for reform
This is correct. However the Cold War and World War 2 are long over and the Eastern Bloc Nations are no longer under Communist Rule of the Soviet Union.
There can be no such thing as a Communist government, as Communism does away with governments, classes and money. The societies in eastern Europe were state capitalist.
The Soviet Union and the eastern European communist nations founded the Warsaw Pact in 1955. This was in response to the United States and 11 other European nations forming the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).
Interfere in Eastern European nations to preserve communist rule
Generally speaking, the non-communist nations of Western Europe were doing well in comparison to nations where Stalin had established communist governments in much of Eastern Europe. The free market policies of the West were yielding better economic growth then the centrally planned economies of Eastern Europe. The US helped to jump start the economies of Western Europe through the Marshall Plan.
