With nuance - for Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia it actually ended in 1991, when Soviet occupation ended. True also for other "Eastern block" nations, although they had little bit more freedom.

Yes, freedom for Warsaw pact countries, but not yet in USSR.
Latvians still had to fight to regain freedom until 1991.
