Question

What led to the decline of the USSR as a socialist country?

• A. Repressive policies
• B. Five-year plans
• C. Good economic conditions
• D. First World War

Answer 1

The correct option is A Repressive policies

By the end of the 20th century, frustration with the bad economy combined with repressive policies like collectivisation led to the decline of the USSR as a socialist country. Five-year plans helped USSR develop rapidly. When the first country to set up a socialist society fell, many other countries around the world rethought the ideas of socialism in a variety of different ways.
