Map of countries which were nominal socialist states.

A socialist state, not the be confused with a state that had achieved socialism as an socioeconomic system, here refers to states that had achieved the dictatorship of the proletariat. Lenin wrote that, "The term Soviet Socialist Republic implies the determination of the Soviet power to achieve the transition to socialism, and not that the existing economic system is recognized as a socialist order." [1] The same could be said of the people's democracies, which did not yet exist in the time of Lenin.
