Answer:
The role of citizens of Russia has changed in many ways.
Step-by-step explanation:
To start, Russian citizens can hold private property. When they were Soviet citizens, they could not do so because private property was forbidden in the Soviet Union.
Russian citizens can also vote in democratic elections, because Russia is a democracy (albeit a flawed one). The Soviet Union was a one-party dictatorship, and Russian citizens could not vote.
Finally, Russian citizens are members of a country that is much smaller than the Soviet Union, and as a result, they do not have as many shared responsibilities with other peoples (like Ukrainians, Armenians, or Lithuanians) as they did before.
