Poland and Czechoslovakia partake in the Marshall Plan

WHat would happen if Polan and Czechoslovakia, both nations showing interest in taking part in the Marshall plan, do accept the US invitation to gain monetary aid? What about the Soviets? And the other Europeans? And the uS?
 
I don't think the Soviets would let foreign aid to drop in to their sphere of influence so easily, with the aid, culture and ideals may filter in somehow and violent and stronger revolutions than IOTL could happen.

I am aware, but at this transition period, everyone was still "friends" with each other. The US even offered to help the Soviets, but they refused, and at this point, Poland and Czechoslovakia were both still newly independent, giving them a glimmer of hope to be independent.

Now, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Baltic and whatnot were unlucky enough to be Axis or conquered, so they couldn't accept any aid, but let's say that the Russians don't due anything at first, due to fars from a nuke.

What occurs after that?
 
Czechoslovakia and Poland are different cases. In Poland the Soviets started with an iron fist, unless other different things had happened Poland would only accept Marshal aid if Stalin (or some other Soviet leader) gave the nod.

In Czechoslovakia Communists took total power in a Coup in 1948 but had before that won pretty straight elections. If something like the Dubcek tendancy had somehow emerged prematurely maybe....
