The Soviet "influenced" many countries to be Communist and the European countries were Albania, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Hungary, Poland, and Romania. These countries were also a military alliance named the Warsaw Pact. This, along with the creation of NATO, created the "Iron Curtain" across Europe.]]> 2017-06-06 20:27:52 UTC https://padlet.com/0803164/k0r0tsj97qj8/wish/175459689 0809424 https://padlet.com/0803164/k0r0tsj97qj8/wish/175459751 Russians thought that Americans had an easy life. while the Russians had little money so the average citizen was just working in order to eat, meanwhile the arms race in Russia had increased to an all time high, so citizens were frightened.(Jean Spector)]]> 2017-06-06 20:28:24 UTC https://padlet.com/0803164/k0r0tsj97qj8/wish/175459751 0803164 https://padlet.com/0803164/k0r0tsj97qj8/wish/175460272 From 1964-1982 Leonid Brezhnev was the leader of the USSR. (Hutchinson 2) But, as the economy started to decline exponentially and living/working condition became terrible, the country needed a change. This change came when Mikhail Gorbachev was decided to be the new leader. He instituted reforms that greatly reduced the harsh Communist policies that were in place. This allowed the countries under soviet control to become independent which caused the USSR to lose the war and eventually become the country we know them to be today, Russia.]]> 2017-06-06 20:34:26 UTC https://padlet.com/0803164/k0r0tsj97qj8/wish/175460272 0809424 https://padlet.com/0803164/k0r0tsj97qj8/wish/175460603 During the cold war Russia was communist and had little food and resources distributed to the citizens.

There was also a massive arms race and the USSR was constantly trying to keep up with the amount of nuclear weapons the US had but eventually this led to the demise of their failing economy.
