People's Republic of Poland

The People's Republic of Poland was the official name of Poland from 1952 to 1989. From 1944 to 1952 Rzeczpospolita Polska (The Republic of Poland) was the name of the Polish state. The Soviet Union had much influence over internal affairs and foreign affairs, and Red Army forces were stationed in Poland (1945 - 500,000; until 1955 - 120,000 to 150,000, until 1989 - 40,000). Therefore the People's Republic of Poland has been described as a satellite state of the Soviet Union.
