Best Answer

The Soviet government was fearful that some ethnic groups might want to break away from the Soviet Union. To keep this from happening, Soviet leaders tried to create a strong national identity. They wanted people in the republic of Latvia, for example, to think of themselves as Soviets, not as Latvian. To achieve this goal, they spread Soviet Propaganda, or material designed to spread certain beliefs.
