I’m doing a presentation on the soviet union for school soon and i would like to know all your opinions on this.
I’ve got: an over-bloated bureaucracy (which was prone to corruption), rural poverty (which is very unfair as basically all countries have rural poverty- difference is that some countries actually help these people), and a lacking light industry that led to economic dissatisfaction from the populace.
I might share the PowerPoint here for your feedback although its very small as its for a vocational exam that is only a few minutes
I can’t blame them for that, it’s because Hitler acted in a really unpredictable way lol. Stalin never thought Hitler could possibly be crazy and stupid enough to repeat the crucial mistake which lost WWI for Germany - opening up a war on two fronts at the same time. He was sure that Hitler would only turn his attention eastwards once the western front had been completely settled - a completely reasonable judgement at the time…
