Answer:

Because each Europe had a Communist government that was loyal to the USSR, Stalin knew they would control Eastern Europe. Then any other states like germany wouldn't use poland or others to invade Europe.

After the war, Stalin was determined that the USSR would control Eastern Europe. That way, Germany or any other state would not be able to use countries like Hungary or Poland as a staging post to invade. His policy was simple. Each Eastern European state had a Communist government loyal to the USSR.
