makkiz [27]3 years ago

Negative: The Noble Experiment led to increased use of illegal drugs. Bootleg alcohol was sometimes toxic and increasingly expensive. This led many drinkers to switch to opium, cocaine, hair tonic, sterno or “liquid heat,” and other dangerous substances. Thus, Prohibition popularized the use of illegal drugs.
Positive: Wife beating and lack of family support decreased 82%
Drunkenness decreased 55.3%
Assault decreased 53.1%
Vagrancy decreased 52.8%
Disorderly conduct decreased 51.5%
Delinquency decreased 50.0%
Deaths due to cirrhosis decreased 50.0%

What did stalin do in the soviet union to make it a totalitarian state?
snow_tiger [21]
Totalitarianism is a form of government where the government has complete control over private and political lives of its citizens. Stalin monitored telephone lines, read mail and had spies everywhere. Those that opposed him were killed and his secret police patrolled Russia. All newspapers, magazines, etc had to be approved by the Soviet Union. Propaganda was also in every corner of Russia. By using propaganda, he could instill fear.
Hope this helps!
