Posibility Check: Imperial Overreach of Soviet post WWII

[Berra]

Soviet payed a huge price in lives and destroyed property during World War 2, afterward it took control over half of Europe. At places dispite guerilla wars.

So is it possible that they reach a point with to much tasks and not enough resources, say due to larger and more sucessful Western support to resistance groups, a attempt control Yugoslavia and/or Finland and Norway?

There was little in the way of guerilla wars against the Soviets.

The problem here is that although the Soviets installed the regimes they more or less maintained themselves for the majority of the Cold War. They had their own governments and armies amongst other things. This means that it's hard for the Soviets to become overreached unless they act much, much worse in Eastern European countries than they did OTL.

IIRC, the UPA (Ukranians), were fielding battalion-sized forces against the Soviets as late as 1949.
