Soviet Union (USSR)

i dont know do you

Any food available, WWI wheat from the United States staved off starvation. A WWII example in combat, Battle for Stalingrad, it was common to make blood omelets. Instead of butchering the cow you bleed it enough to cook the blood in to an omelet of sorts. WWII U.S. Citizens were on strict Rations for certain foods and items.

The western allies should invade France

Auschwitz I, II and III were liberated by the Soviet Army on 27 January 1945. The remaining prisoners (about 7,500) were nursed back to health, but some were extremely ill and died after being liberated. (The survivors included a baby girl who had been born about 36 hours before the Soviet Army arrived: mother and daughter both lived).

In 1947 the Polish government decided to turn parts of Auschwitz into a museum. The museum is standing and is open to the public.

Stalin closed all roads, railways and canals leading to Berlin. This meant that the people of West Berlin would starve: therefore, the USA, France and Britain flew in supplies of flour, coal, milk and food. This continued until Stalin lifted the Blockade in 1949.

Acoroding to Dr. kissenger during the cold war the USSR played chess looking as a grand master would at least eight moves ahead at all moves. The US in comparison only reacted to the moves made with little long term (20-40-50) years into the future planing. They played chess we just moved the pieces. Did we win the cold war? Good question, did communism fall see ansers at the wikI. This was said by Henery possibly in an enterview I read in some foreign policy magazine.

The Battles of Kursk, Stalingrad and Berlin.

The Warsaw Pact was eastern Europe's response to NATO

It gave Soviet Russians jobs in factories and industries, which were controlled by the government. There were no corporations or businesses aggressively competing for money. The living conditions weren't great but they were far better than those in the present-day. Under socialism/communism, people weren't all paid equally. A government job gave the most money because they controlled everything. And a doctor would not earn more than a farmer.

There wasn't much freedom. You couldn't speak out against the government or communism. It would only be done in hushed tones and whispers. People were afraid. If you were overheard by a neighbor or even accused, and reported then you would...

1. Be abducted or arrested without warning

2. Be placed under interrogation

3. Simply "disappear"

You had no rights.

President Richard Nixon ended the detente with the soviets

Same as any propaganda,,,,,,,Using information that may or may not be true (most of the time it is based on true events that have been twisted to the point that they are now A total lie) to scare or threaten people into doing what is desired by the person presenting the info.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, The soviet union or Russia or USSR, Used anything they could think up to make the USA look as bad as possible, They wanted the USA to be equal to the Devil incarnated.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, But, fairly, The USA did the same thing to USSR.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, If you can give people bad news about anything with even the slightest indication that you are in some way A protector then you have the upper hand over both parties.

{| |- | It was actually fairly simple. Berlin was deep into East Germany. Its only connection to West Germany was through a railroad corridor. By cutting the rail line, the Soviets prevented any ground transportation from reaching the city. The only method of getting goods there was through aircraft. |}

The Soviet Union dealt with uprisings in Poland, Hungary and Czechoslovakia during the 1950s and 1960s with wars. Many losses occurred when troops were brought in. Troops were ultimately deployed to deal with any type of uprising.

Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, through her brother, David Greenglass. During much of the Cold War the Rosenbergs were a cause celebre, many doubting their guilt. When the Soviet Union disintegrated the archives of the KGB revealed that they had in fact done it, and were guilty as sin.

Gang of Eight - Soviet Union - ended in 1991.

Stalin saw Hitler and Nazi Germany as a great enemy and danger to the Soviet state. He was preparing for war when Germany attacked and if Germany had not attacked then Russia almost certainly would have attacked Germany eventually. Michael Montagne

Very much the same methods that Hitler used- he would have suspected opponents of his regime continually watched and surveyed, then have the KGB spring upon them when they were not expecting it and have them arrested and subject to systematic interrogation, torture, and threats to their families and loved ones as a means of forcing false confessions out of them. With others he wouldn't bother even doing this, he would just have them executed or sent away to the gulag camps of Siberia for many years, where many hundreds of thousands of people died of starvation, cold, overwork or ill-treatment by the camp guards. Hitler, Stalin and Chairman Mao all used these methods to quell dissent- so did Saddam Hussein in Iraq. Stalin killed millions of people, and George Orwell's novel 'Nineteen Eighty Four' is meant to be a thinly-veiled condemnation of Stalin's Soviet Union. If you've ever read this, the way that Winston Smith is treated is typical of the methods Stalin used against dissidents.

The collapse of the Soviet Union occurred gradually over a period of around 6 or 7 years, culminating in the dissolution at the very end of 1991. At this point in time, George H.W. Bush was the US President. The Berlin Wall came down in 1989. The Soviet Union did not have a president at any stage during this time; the equivalent leader was the General Secretary of the Central Committee, and this position was abolished in mid-1991, leaving no single leader or head of state at the time of the dissolution.

In 1985, a new leader came to power in the Soviet Union: Mikhail Gorbachev. Recognizing that the empire could not survive as it was structured, Gorbachev instituted new policies, including a new openness to western ideas and some limited economic freedom. Two years later, in 1987, Reagan and Gorbachev signed an agreement to reduce the production of certain nuclear weapons, effectively putting an end to the cold war.

Yes. A 'Cold War' refers to a state of conflict between nations that does not involve direct military action but is pursued primarily through economic and political actions, propaganda, acts of espionage or proxy wars waged by surrogates. The Cold War between the US & the Soviets lasted until 1989.

In September of 1939 the Soviets demanded of the three Baltic states that they accept Soviet military bases and a limited number of troops on their territories While all three governments were forced to agree, this formally did not affect the sovereignty of the three states. Full military occupation occurred in June of 1940.

Central planning enabled even the poorest peasants to have enough food, shelter, education and medical treatment.

No Eastern European countries were 'occupied' by the Soviet Union (USSR) in 1988. All Eastern Europe countries had their own independent governments.

The following Eastern European countries were members of the Warsaw Pact, which means they were allies of the USSR and followed an economic and foreign policy similar to the USSR:

Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, German Democratic Republic, Hungary, Poland and Romania.

However, some current Eastern European countries were states within the Soviet Union and whose authority was sublimated to Russia. These include: Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine, and Moldova.
