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?

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

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.

food and resources were plentiful.

women were encouraged to marry later in life so they could work in factories.
