The economy under the Soviet Union was under various degrees of disaster.
It was a dictatorship. Stalin was kinda like Hitler.
A soviet republic was a territory of the union (much like states today). USSR (soviet union) stands for "Union of Socialist Soviet Republics"
It seems like there might be a typo in your question. If you're referring to the "Soviet Union," it was a socialist state that existed from 1922 to 1991, encompassing much of Eastern Europe and Northern Asia. Officially known as the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), it was a federation of multiple republics under a centralized government led by the Communist Party. The Soviet Union was a significant global superpower during the Cold War, known for its influence on world politics, economy, and culture until its dissolution in 1991.
Soviets are people from the Soviet Union, it's like Americans and America
When the Soviet Union exister, Russia was merely one country out of the whole Soviet Union. The Union also included countries like Kazahkstan and Turkestan. Russia just happens to be where the Soviet Union began.
The USSR (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics) and the Soviet Union are different names for the same thing. It's like how another name for the United States of America is USA.
Historically, this area's economy was based on agriculture. The Soviets created a command economy. Since the end of the Soviet Union, this region is trying to develop a market economy.
USA distrusted the USSR, but we had to work together. We didn't really like them, but Hitler was worse.
The transition of the Soviet economy to a market economy was primarily facilitated by Mikhail Gorbachev, the General Secretary of the Communist Party, through his policies of Perestroika (restructuring) and Glasnost (openness) in the late 1980s. Gorbachev sought to introduce market-like reforms to revitalize the stagnant economy, allowing for some degree of private enterprise and decentralization. However, the process faced significant challenges and ultimately contributed to the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, leading to a more rapid and chaotic transition to a market economy in the newly independent states.
It was amazing they have water slides and everything
Answer this question…Hungary
Mikhail Gorbachev's policies, particularly glasnost (openness) and perestroika (restructuring), aimed to reform the stagnant Soviet economy and promote political transparency. Glasnost allowed for greater freedom of expression and reduced censorship, leading to increased public discourse and criticism of the government. Perestroika sought to decentralize the economy and introduce market-like reforms, but these changes also exposed the weaknesses of the Soviet system, ultimately contributing to its collapse. Gorbachev's efforts unintentionally accelerated the disintegration of the Soviet Union, culminating in its dissolution in 1991.
