Question

In what two ways did the Soviets stray from the ideas about communist advanced by Karl Marx?

Answer 1

In many ways. They were highly oppressive towards the people and nobody was allowed to say anything against the state. They also placed their own well-being above the well-being of the country, which meant that they didn't just take what they needed, but rather they enjoyed a luxurious life while the common working class people suffered in poverty.
