I'm doing a presentation on the soviet union for school soon and i would like to know all your opinions on this.

I've got: an over-bloated bureaucracy (which was prone to corruption), rural poverty (which is very unfair as basically all countries have rural poverty- difference is that some countries actually help these people), and a lacking light industry that led to economic dissatisfaction from the populace.

I might share the PowerPoint here for your feedback although its very small as its for a vocational exam that is only a few minutes

    Technically Marxism-Leninism was a part of all higher education programs, no matter if you were into humanities or sciences. The curriculum of the subject, however... Uh... Let's just say that it was a little detached from reality. Making students write out quotes about evil bourgeoisie or different low-value shit from transcripts of old party meetings is just... Blegh.
