I don't actually think that sounds heavy handed at all. The reason being a puppet of the USSR is a bad thing is because of how bad the USSR was, not because it's inherently bad to be a puppet. I live in a country that's more or less a puppet of the USA and if someone wrote a sentence like that about my country I'd think it was humerous, not heavy handed.
