In most political science publications the primary purposes of the former Soviet Union were presented as a major hypothesis. For these writers, within the Soviet Union was a singleminded effort to pursue two related but not identical goals. The one was the continued objective of a small segment of leading communist leaders to maintain control of a widely diverse and large population that comprised the Soviet Union. The secondary purpose was to use this control to expand the political and military influence of the USSR in the world.These scholars maintain that contrary to popular belief the latter was not a planned endeavor but a step by step progression based on historical events.As an example of the latter rational, the victory of an unplanned Second World War, enabled Soviet leaders to expand the power of their nation.
