international norm or conflict/defect against it. Knowing the influence of the United States, it can be observed that the Soviets did not have the same legitimacy and had opposing norms to the United States. Given how many states seceded from the Soviets demonstrates that there was institutionalization in the process. The United States also used persuasion to get many soviet aligned states to adopt their norms. It can be seen as normative persuasion, which is when the state persuades it’s…

scarce, and the economy was backwards. Back then Russia was rule by a czar. The government was corrupt. Clearly, all of this put together caused unrest. So, people decided that they'd had enough, and after two revolutions, Russia became the Soviet Union, which, in case you haven't already figured out, is not ruled by a czar. February Revolution The February Revolution started on March 8, or February 23 using the Julian calendar, which Russia did. On March 8, demonstrators stopped…

The cold war alliance was between the Soviet Union and the U.S. but was intensified during the late 1940’s and the early 1950’s. The communists in the U.S. eventually became known as the Red Scare. They were also to referred as “Reds.” Some federal employees were examined to determine they were loyal to the House Un-American Activities Committee. After that, the Red Scare started fading during the 1950's. The Soviet spies and the American government became engaged in a series of economic…

After the Collapse of the Soviet Union, the soviet baby boomers felt a sense of relief and felt more relaxed because they had the freedoms that most Americans do.

That tragic night, without any notice or declaration of the state of emergency, Soviet Army units and interior troops entered…

have to be the poster boy of everybody, who everyone wants to be? Does he have to save people every day, and risk their lives every day. Though many may not think of Mikhail Gorbachev as a hero, he saved Europe. Had he not been the leader of the Soviet Union, Germany might have still been divided. A Wall might have still existed in Berlin. The Cold War would have continued to get worse and bring diplomatic conflict, and nations that had always been allies, might have been enemies. I believe that…

he also caused unrest within the Russian Elite. Nobody liked him and the many reforms he implemented undermined the stability of the communist system as far as the Soviet elites were concerned. Eventually, Brezhnev took over from Khrushchev and whilst initially, the impression was of a more stable, wiser man, unrest grew in the empire. Since 1957, Novotny, the leader of the communist party in Czechoslovakia had been very unpopular. He was a hard line communist who hadn't introduced any reforms…

Joseph Stalin, was adamant in…
