How did the communist system of government reduce the impact of the great depression in the soviet union? a. the soviet union invested in the russian stock market instead of the american stock market. b. the soviet union built close ties with china, a communist country with a strong economy. c. the soviet government reduced unemployment by determining where all citizens would work. d. the soviet government greatly reduced government, keeping its savings levels high.

The correct option is C

While the economic and industrial collapse of the capitalist countries broke levels never before seen, the Soviet economic strength reached remarkable achievements.The planning and socialization of the economy, together with a considerable isolation at the international level of the country, avoided the nation's own evils of crises such as unemployment, falling prices and overproduction. During the years that coincide with the Great Depression in the West, the Union increased its capital investments and managed to multiply its production and working population. Thus, its annual growth was around 13-14%, tripling and quadrupling the growth that the United States and Western Europe had achieved in the years of prosperity of the 1920s.

relations between the soviet union and the united states were driven by a complex interplay of ideological, political, and economic factors, which led to shifts between cautious cooperation and often bitter superpower rivalry over the years. the distinct differences in the political systems of the two countries often prevented them from reaching a mutual understanding on key policy issues and even, as in the case of the cuban missile crisis, brought them to the brink of war.

the united states government was initially hostile to the soviet leaders for taking russia out of world war i and was opposed to a state ideologically based on communism. although the united states embarked on a famine relief program in the soviet union in the early 1920s and american businessmen established commercial ties there during the period of the new economic policy (1921–29), the two countries did not establish diplomatic relations until 1933. by that time, the totalitarian nature of joseph stalin's regime presented an insurmountable obstacle to friendly relations with the west. although world war ii brought the two countries into alliance, based on the common aim of defeating nazi germany, the soviet union's aggressive, antidemocratic policy toward eastern europe had created tensions even before the war ended.
