Russia After Stalin

The Cold War begins End of World War II marks the beginning of the Cold War. Cold War- military rivalry and political tension between the East (communist) and West (capitalist). Stalin had turned Russia into a totalitarian state- a state in which the gov’t controls every aspect of citizens’ lives.

Russia after Stalin Stalin died in 1953. His successor: Nikita Khruschev Denounced Stalin’s abuse of power. Started “détente”- an easing of Cold War tensions between the USSR and the west.

Leonid Breshnev In power 1964-1982. Suppressed dissidents (People who speak out against the government). The constant “arms race” between the U.S. and USSR led to the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962.

Breshnev 1979: The USSR invades Afghanistan. The U.S. responded by arming and empowering a group of “holy warriors”: the Mujahideen. Later known as the Taliban.

Mikhail Gorbachev Came to power in 1985. New 2-part plan: Glasnost- openness; let people speak openly about government problems. Perestroika- restructuring of gov’t and economy: allow capitalism in while keeping a communist structure.

The fall of the Soviet Union 1991 All soviet republics declare independence, forming 15 new nations. Still face many problems today: unemployment, inflation, poverty, civil wars, and dictatorships.
