Whether they would have been so willing to oppose the western powers who might have used the carrot rather than the stick is not so certain. The Soviets had committed quite a few attrocities against their own people as well and there were large organised groups in the territories that had come under Soviet control that were ready to continue the war they had been waging against the Communists after the Nazis (the Lienez (sp.) Cossacks).
It would probably depend on whether the west decided to re-arm the German army. If they had done so, then the people in the Eastern Bloc would have probably fought fiercely against the west because they would be seen to be sympathising with their former abusers.
Sorry but I have a different opinion.

The Germans invade and destroy everthing. Then the nations stands together and drives them back. Then the US/GB invade. Easy to explain the people that this is the new enemy. Easy to tell them that they are doing the same crimes the Germans did.

This is an interesting link to Russians teling their story about WW2:

And remember that the Germans fought until the very end. They didn't want to surrender to an enemy that destroys the towns and kills hundred thousands of civilists.
