Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Stalinist era in the 1930s witnessed the arrest and imprisonment of millions of ordinary citizens in forced labor camps. This was part of Stalin's purges to eliminate those he saw as enemies of the state. There was also a decline in industrialization and a shift towards the collectivization of agriculture. Real wages and social conditions for the industrial labor force did not improve dramatically, and there was not an abundance of permissive social legislation. While there was an activist foreign and military policy, it was not solely focused on immediately making Eastern Europe a satellite region to the Soviet Union.
