The Eastern Bloc countries had no real autonomy. 

Independence, no of course not. But, esspecially in regard to Poland and Hungary after 1956 I would not tell about lack of autonomy.

Just returnning to previous point.

I would strongly disagree that countries had no autonomy.

After 1956 Poland has the least repressive regime, with Hungary coming very close second.

In 1956 new Polish leadership, in much of USSR displeasure, kicked off stalinist officers from the army and send them back to Moscow, including Marshal Rokosowski.

In 1970/1980 both Gierek and Jaruzelski dealed with opposition, which would be unthinkeable for Moscow comrades.
