It would be good to know the context of your question. When you say "based on the passage," perhaps you could attach a screen shot of the passage you're looking at.
Nevertheless, even without such context, I would lean toward saying the answer is that "the Soviet government would do whatever it could to stay in power." I'm guessing you're talking about events as the Soviet Union was nearing its dissolution and Boris Yeltsin was leading Russia in a move to declare its own sovereignty separate from the USSR. The Soviet leadership did not give in to that movement willingly.
<u>Renaissance definition:</u>
- <em>"the revival of art and literature under the influence of classical models in the 14th–16th centuries"</em>
- <em>"a revival of or renewed interest in something renaissance.</em>
I would not call the tech of today a renaissance because the renaissance was something ancient from about 60 centuries before we were born and I believe that simply thinking that technology or iPhones or an iPad could be called a reaissance, is an insult to the people of the Middle Ages.
The War of 1812 was actually fought in multiple places including North America, the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, the East Coast of the US, and the Gulf Coast of the US. Hope this helps!!
The compromise of 1877 was an informal unwritten deal that settled the intensely disputed 1876 US presidential election in the United States federal government pulling the last troops out of the south and formally ended the reconstruction era!!
Just looks like some sort of container to me :P
