Hungary. We were called like that because a little economic and cultural reform was launched in the 1960s. The rules weren’t as tough as in other countries and we had a better standard of living than the others.

I can vouch, from personal experience of my people, Poland was not happy under the communists. Imagine empty stores. EMPTY. To buy food for your family you have to stand in queue for hours (5, 10 hours sometimes). There is no freedom of speech - you get arrested if you say anything unflattering about the state of things. I don't want to go into detail - it would take too long. The only ones who were happy were the high-up communist party officials, they lived like African dictators.
There was terrible oppression. It is hard to say this even now, but I really need to correct your assumptions here.

Neither were happy, but Hungary attempted to get their freedom earlier. So Poland could be considered the least unhappy. But it seems strange to say that any country dominated by an oppressive government would be happy.

Probably Poland because the USSR actually put down a rebellion in Hungry in the 1950's. Although only people happy in the communist system was stalin and his ilk
