Question

Based on Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn’s work and what you learned in the lesson, write a paragraph that answers the following question:

How did life change in the Soviet Union under Stalin?

Answer 1

Under Stalin, the property and land became collectivized which meant that land owners couldn't dictate what the production would be like or what the prices would be like. This made life better for poorer people and was a step towards abolishing classes, but the rich people often suffered because they would be banished or imprisoned or things like that and they would have their properties taken away from them

Answer 2

Under Stalin, life in the Soviet Union changed in many ways, and Solzhenitsyn illustrates those changes in his works.

Step-by-step explanation:

For example, under Stalin, peasants were collectivized, meaning that peasants who had property were stripped from it, and forced to work in collective properties with other farmers. These collective farms were owned by the state.

Another change was that the Soviet Union became a police state. People could not express views in opposition to Stalin and the government, because if they did, they were punished in several ways, from fines, to forced labor in gulags, to forced disappearance and execution.
