were sent to stop a food riot

Stalin• Led the Soviet Union

from 1924-1953• Stalin was often

underestimated by his opponents, who wound up becoming his victims.

Collectivization & Industrialization• 1928 - collectivization of agriculture cost million

of lives• His industrialization program made his country

militarily strong but provided little material welfare for its citizens.

• The population suffered immensely during the Great Terror of the 1930s, during which Stalin and his henchmen purged the Party of 'enemies of the people' and sent millions to the Gulag system of slave labor camps.

WWII• The purges severely depleted the Red Army

officer corps, and despite many warnings, Stalin was ill prepared for Hitler's massive attack on the Soviet Union in June 1941.

• His political future hung in the balance, but he recovered to lead his country to victory.

• As usual with Stalin, the human cost was enormous, but that mattered little to him.

After WWII• The Soviet Union & the United States

became industrial giants.

• These two titans clashed over control of the world for the next forty years.

• This rivalry was know as the cold war. Each country prepared for a war with each other that never came.

Soviet Superpower• Under the leadership of

Nikita Khrushchev from 1958-1964 the Soviet Union invested heavily in space exploration.

• They had:

-the first satellite (1957)

-1st man in space (1961)

• This caused Russia to be ahead of the West for the first time in history.http://www.dictatorofthemonth.com/Kruschev/pictures_of_kruschev.htm

Economy under Soviet Control• The Soviets used a command economy.• The government controlled what was made and what

prices were.• They emphasized the production of heavy industry

(military equipment) and not light industry (consumer goods)

• Unemployment was low, but so were wages.• Consumer goods were hard to come by & expensive.• This scarcity of goods caused the black market to emerge

where goods were sold at prices higher than were dictated by the government.

Reforms• When Mikhail Gorbachev

came to power in 1985, the Soviet Union was once again behind the West in technology & the economy was in trouble.

• Perestroika – (restructuring) of the economy to allow less gov’t control.

• Glasnost – (openness) allowed people to criticize the gov’thttp://traveltorussia.biz/images/russia/history/gorbachev.jpg

1991• The Soviet Union breaks-

up. Former Soviet republics declare their independence.

• Russia becomes a republic and a capitalist economy.

• Boris Yeltsin elected President.

• The Cold War officially ends.
