The processes in the individual states of the Eastern Bloc developed quite differently, in some states communist symbols were banned, in others all references to names with reference to communism (place and street names) were deleted. There are also big differences in terms of time, many states such as Hungary or the Czech Republic erased references to communism as early as the 1990s, others such as Ukraine have only been seriously implementing this process since 2013/2014.
