Technically correct. They were under Stalins Marxism-Leninism, which was supposed to be a placeholder until true communism could be implemented.
But it’s a bit disingenuous to split that hair in this thread. The irony being that the latter are all countries that got to experience the kind of gouvernemental structure that Lenin facilitated.
None of the lower countries had communism.

You can argue if they had sunshine scenario communism all day, but they certainly was under the oppressive thumb of USSR.
I didn’t say anything about communism being good or bad there, just that none of those countries ever lived under communism.
