 What was it like for the average Soviet living under communist rule?  What does the government control in a communist economic system?  Who the Soviet Leader that expanded the Soviet Union by taken over much of Eastern Europe? When did the Cold War end?

Joseph Stalin, after WWII controls Eastern Europe. Stalin installs communist leaders and communist economy in Eastern Europe.

Living Under Soviet Communism 20 Years after the Fall: video clips….. Advantages  Free Healthcare  Jobs for life  Free Education  Housing was provided  Security Disadvantages  Lack of Information/Censorship  No Religion  Government control of most aspects of life  Purge of dissidents  Ultimate collapse of the economy!

 In communist system there is no profit for capitalist/individuals. Communist government owns the Means of Production…

 If guaranteed a job, nobody is inspired to work, production of faulty goods  Corruption in system  Emphasis on military and defense spending over consumer goods- bread lines and food shortages  Soviet Afghan War- economically drains “satellite nations” country  Supporting “satellite nations” drains economy  Hatred among different nationalities (ethnicities) in empire. Why did the Soviet Union collapse in 1989?

Mikhail Gorbachev reforms led to collapse of U.S.S.R Glasnost literally openness- “opening to the press” Perestroika was the policy of restructuring or reforming the economic and political system The Soviet economy had been in a period of stagnation for two decades and was in desperate need of reform.

Propaganda in America Duck & cover drillsBomb Shelters

 Both the U.S. and U.S.S.R had enough bombs to destroy the world many times over! What stopped the superpowers from using their weapons…..Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD)  The Soviet threat was weak, destroying America would not have benefited the Soviets!!!  More of a threat in Europe. Fear against communism in U.S. helps to fund defense budget. Was the Soviet Union really a threat!
