Dungeons & Dragons and other roleplaying games caused a cultural sensation (and then later a backlash) in 1980s America; they were also translated and released in other languages such as French and Italian.

Were these products ever released in Soviet Bloc countries like the Soviet Union, East Germany, Poland, or Czechoslovakia before the fall of communism? (I am aware that some of them definitely got localizations after the fall of communism.) If not officially, did the games have an underground following? Or was tabletop roleplaying just another Western phenomenon that didn't, or couldn't, make its way across the Iron Curtain?
