Socialist movements may not be inherently friendly to the Soviet regime. Moscow was happy as long as it could exert its influence, which it did without much trouble.

I realize that, but it goes along with me stating that  was  possibly rhetoric if they saw grassroots movements as a threat.

Probably not because the Soviets brought stability and security to the region after the war and any indivdiuals that were perceived as a threat could be liquidated.
