Question

What are two ways that the Soviet people lost their freedom due to communism in the Soviet Union?

Answer 1

People could only vote for one party and they could not criticize the government. Media was also censored and could only publish what the government said they could.

Answer 2

Answer:

freedom of enterprise and freedom of speech.

Explanation:

In economic terms, people under communism in the USSR lost their freedom of enterprise as all means of production and production itself was seized by the state in its effort to achieve a socialist regime that would redistribute production and capital amongst the workers of the state. In practical terms, under communism, especially during the dark and authoritarian phases, like Stalinism, people lost their freedom of speech as this was highly censored and controlled, and when the system deemed it necessary, also punished.
