1. there were gulags...
2. soviet troops stationed but they didnt terrorize anyone (at least not +5 years after end of 2nd world war)...they just stayed mostly in their bases... other thing is, that they were there to ensure communism influence etc. yet, during martial law in Poland no soviet soldier were doing anything..they were just inside their bases
3. they did f.. up economies, thats true...
4. brainwashing ? hm, depends...something tells me that maybe its better to be brainwashed with communist scholar system than with TV...anyway, of course there are brainwashed people..afraid of governmenet and its actions...if thats what you mean...it depends where also...in Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary - not really... Ukraine, Belarus, Russia - etc. very probably, especially amongs older generations
