4. The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics abbreviated to USSR or shortened to the Soviet Union, was a Marxist–Leninist state on the Eurasian continent that existed between 1922 and TASK: I want you to see if you can pinpoint the similarities and differences between 1984’s Big Brother and Joseph Stalin’s USSR. You will read General statements about Stalin’s USSR make notes of the similarities and differences you can find.

5. During Stalin’s rule, Soviet totalitarianism was often characterized by terror, intimidation, repression, economic inefficiency, lies, enforced orthodoxy, dogmatism.
In Russia, communist totalitarianism has been succeeded by electoral democracy.
Stalin had a secret police agency called the KGB
The secret police would keep documents on every man, woman, and child. If they try to rebel or was a threat to Stalin’s power, they were thrown in a Gulag ( labor camp).
The government owned the farms, not the people, so it created famine because people could not keep their food or make any profit, which made people incensed.
Stalin used propaganda to manipulate the people.

6. If there was hope, it must lie with the proles, because only there, in those swarming disregarded masses, eighty-five percent of the population of Oceania, could the force to destroy the Party ever be generated. The Party could not be overthrown from within. Its enemies, if it had any enemies, had no way of coming together or even of identifying one another. Even if the legendary brotherhood existed, as just possibly it might, it was inconceivable that its members could ever assemble in larger numbers than twos and threes. Rebellion meant a look in the eyes, an inflection of the voice, an occasional whispered word. But the proles, if only they could somehow become conscious of their own strength, would have no need to conspire. They needed only to rise up and shake themselves like a horse shaking off flies. If they chose they could blow the party to pieces tomorrow morning. Surely sooner or later it must occur to them to do it.

7. The Party claimed, of course, to have liberated the proles from bondage. Before the revolution they had been hideously oppressed by the capitalists, they had been starved and flogged, women had been forced to work in coal mines (women still did work in the coal mines, as a matter of fact), children had been sold into the factories at the age of six. But simultaneously, true to the principles of doublethink, the Party taught that the proles were natural inferiors who must be kept in subjection, like animals, by the application of a few simple rules. In reality very little was known about the proles. It was not necessary to know much. So long as they continued to work and breed, their other activities were without importance.
