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."

The Soviet leadership did not give in to that movement willingly.
