This was perhaps the biggest attempt in human history to abolish the institution of private property and consciously design a society based on principles of equality. The Soviet political system centre around the communist party and no other political party or opposition was allowed.

The lack of democracy and the absence of freedom of speech stifled people who often expressed their dissent in jokes and cartoons. Most of the institutions of the Soviet state needed reform: the one-party system represented by the communist party of the Soviet Union had tight control over all institutions and was unaccountable to the people. The party refused to recognize the urge of people in the fifteen different republics that formed the Soviet Union to manage their own affairs including their cultural affairs. Although, on Paper, Russia was only one of the fifteen republics that together constituted the USSR.
