The Treaty on the creation of the Soviet Union was adopted about 90 years ago on December 30, 1922, by representatives from Belarus, Russia, South Caucasus, and Ukraine. After heated debates about the form of the union, all four republics agreed on establishing a federation. This was a compromise between a confederation model proposed by the joining republics, and a unitary Russian state with some autonomy for the annexed territories

As a result of Lenin’s “Top Down” revolution, Lenin described women as “domestic slaves”. The Bolsheviks’ gender policy was about the straightforward acknowledgement of equality between men and women. The biological difference between genders served as a marker that outlined social roles. Women were involved extensively in physical labour, and including the most difficult work.

Stalin chose a policy in 1928 that forced peasants into state owned collective farms. Stalin resorted to slave and forced labor in order to provide food for the rapidly industrializing Soviet cities. On November 7, 1929, Stalin formally unleased a new revolution, the so called Great Industrialization Drive which said that peasants weren’t allowed to own the land or to profit from crop sales.• Atkins, William Arthur.

• During this time, the Soviet economy had serious problems, most notably a declining rate of economic growth and an inadequate peasant-produced grain supply. Later, inflation and huge shortages, especially of food and raw industrial materials, began to plague the country. By the beginning of 1928, rationing was necessary as agricultural production and procurement failed to meet demand.

During the early years of Soviet rule, revolutionary politics did not seem to preclude the advancement of non-traditional art forms, such as Constructivism, Cubism, and Impressionism. Some members of the Communist Party, however, objected to these art forms, labeling them "decadent" and "bourgeois." At the congress in 1934, it was decreed that the only permitted style of artistic expression in the Soviet Union would be a new art form known as Socialist Realism, a style of realistic art that was to become the dominant art form in not only the Soviet Union, but in other communist countries, as well..• "The Soviet Union Bans Abstract Art,

Besides establishing fees, privileges, and other benefits for writers, Socialist Realism maintained institutes for training young writers, provided vacation houses and resorts for its members, and acted as a liaison between the party and its own ranks. It also had the power to reprimand and even punish writers who failed to follow its artistic mandates.
