Eastern european scene before 1989?

Hello,
this topic has been fascinating me for quite a while, so i thought of just popping the issue here.

I wonder if there was a eastern scene before the fall of the Berlin wall. And if so, were they connected to the western scene, or did they 'invent' a scene of their own?
For what i understood the Russian scene evolved during the 90ties.. but i'd love to hear stories and insights of that period. Afaik, Polonus and some others of the early Padua dudes were 'easterns'?
I remember getting some snailmails in the early nineties from the east, but since i never replied those i never got to ask that question ;)

Perhaps i'm trying to fuel my nonexistant myth..
Please shed a light on this!

I do remember seeing a few polish things in the UK, I had a polish friend who used to bring them back,that must be 88-89 time.

Also they did a thing about the tetris on the BBC4

Tetris - from russia with love.

couldn't find a full version, but it showed how they also scouted/talent hunted for programmers/games in the east also.
