With a PoD anywhere between the Yalta Conference in 1945 and the fall of the USSR in 1991, how could we make it so that the Warsaw Pact countries of Eastern Europe, set up IOTL as puppets or clients of the Soviet Union, end up as autonomous from Moscow in regards to international policy as the western European countries were autonomous in regards to Washington?
Perhaps a PoD around events such as the Tito-Stalin Split, the 1956 Hungarian Revolt, or the Prague Spring? Or maybe shuffling around the leaders of the USSR (perhaps a more liberal Khrushchev), extending the impact of the Sino-Soviet Split, those types of things?
