Atlas USSR Portal · · The Soviet Union (Russian: Советский Союз, tr. Sovietsky Soyuz), officially the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR, Russian: Сою́з Сове́тских Социалисти́ческих Респу́блик, tr. Soyuz Sovietskikh Sotsialisticheskikh Respublik IPA: [sɐˈjus sɐˈvʲetskʲɪx sətsɨəlʲɪˈstʲitɕɪskʲɪx rʲɪsˈpublʲɪk] ( listen), abbreviated СССР, SSSR), was a constitutionally socialist state that existed in Eurasia between 1922 and 1991. An informal name used among its residents was the Union (Soyuz). The Soviet Union had a single-party political system dominated by the Communist Party until 1990. Although the USSR was nominally a union of Soviet republics (15 in all after 1956) with the capital in Moscow, it was actually a highly centralized state with a planned economy. The Russian Revolution of 1917 brought about the downfall of the Russian Empire. Its successor, the Russian Provisional Government, was short-lived. After the Bolsheviks won the ensuing Russian Civil War, the Soviet Union was founded in December 1922 with the merger of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic, Transcaucasian Socialist Federative Soviet Republic, Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic and Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic. Following the death of the first Soviet leader, Vladimir Lenin, in 1924, Joseph Stalin eventually won a power struggle and led the country through a large-scale industrialization with a command economy and political repression. In World War II, in June 1941, Germany and its allies invaded the Soviet Union, a country with which it had signed a non-aggression pact. After four years of brutal warfare, the Soviet Union emerged victorious as one of the world's two superpowers, the other being the United States. The Soviet Union and its Eastern European satellite states engaged in the Cold War, a prolonged global ideological and political struggle against the United States and its Western Bloc allies, which it ultimately lost in the face of economic troubles and both domestic and foreign political unrest. In the late 1980s, the last Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev tried to reform the state with his policies of perestroika and glasnost, but the Soviet Union collapsed and was formally dissolved in December 1991 after the abortive August coup attempt. The Russian Federation assumed its rights and obligations. From Wikipedia under the

Asked by mariana_greco@sbcglobal.net - Wed Apr 13 22:24:12 2011 - Homework Help - 1 Answers - Comments A. Lenin was only in power for a short period - from late 1917 to 1924, and so was unable to totally transform the country. Stalin, in contrast, was in power for over 25 years, so was able to utterly change the country. Lenin's main economic policy was the New Economic Policy (NEP). NEP was only meant to be a temporary measure to kickstart the economy after the disasters of WWI and the Civil War. Marxist orthodoxy claims that in order to achieve Communism the means of production must be owned by the workers. NEP still had the banks and large enterprises under government ownership, as per War Communism, but it allowed small businesses and farmers to own their businesses. By the mid 1920s NEP was creating a prosperous class of business owners… [cont.] Answered by Spellbound - Thu Apr 14 16:03:51 2011 How did globalization affect the fall of the soviet union?
Q. Please help, i'm doing a case study on a country that has benefited from globalisation, and i decided to choose the fall of the soviet union.

If you look at economic systems around the world, countries that have capitalism (often a byproduct of globalization) have democratic (in some form or another) governments. Countries without capitalistic markets find it much easier to have socialist or other alternative forms of governments. Although Russia doesn't have a legitimate democracy, globalization helped open up the country to progress. Answered by JC - Sun Mar 30 06:43:54 2008 From Yahoo Answer Search: "soviet" |
