As far as I know, there were anti-communist guerilla groups in Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia well into the 1970s (beginning in WW2).
Ultimately to no avail.
Any other examples of this?

Are we talking strictly anti-communist movements? Because if we include anti-imperialist, anti-colonial movements in the 20th century then you've got quite a few like the Philippine anti-US resistance in the early 1900's, and many other colonies of the US and Europe.
I think Benedict Anderson covers some of these in his book "Under Three Flags".

My first thought was of Masada, but your details reminded me of the Summer of Hope in Yugoslavia.

This is true and in some cases still true about virtually any of the Soviet satellite states.
