I’m doing a presentation on the soviet union for school soon and i would like to know all your opinions on this.

I’ve got: an over-bloated bureaucracy (which was prone to corruption), rural poverty (which is very unfair as basically all countries have rural poverty- difference is that some countries actually help these people), and a lacking light industry that led to economic dissatisfaction from the populace.

I might share the PowerPoint here for your feedback although its very small as its for a vocational exam that is only a few minutes

      Unfortunately I haven’t really saved any, so can’t recommend one right now. Most of the stuff you can find on it is obviously heavily biased, so not sure what the best entry point would be. If you want to do some reseach though, the leader I was talking about is Hafizullah Amin, the operation to assassinate him is called Operation Storm-333.
