I don't think that they shot their way out. Also, the Russians aren't commies anymore. Look at Russia, and it looks closer to what America was than what America looks like now.
Wrong on Estonia, half right on Romania. They overthrew Ceausescu rather than Communism. More wrong than right on Croatia. You are confusing what 'shooting their way out' means. Or, more properly, you are confusing the immediate aftermath with their exit from Communism.

Romania did, Estonia did, Croatia did. There are many others I can’t remember.
