The term "Soviet People" refers to the diverse population of the former Soviet Union, which existed from 1922 to 1991. This population included various ethnic groups, such as Russians, Ukrainians, Belarusians, and many others, each contributing to the rich cultural tapestry of the nation. The Soviet government promoted a sense of unity among these groups, emphasizing a shared identity as "Soviet" despite their distinct backgrounds. The Soviet People experienced significant social and economic changes throughout the Soviet era. They lived under a centralized government that aimed to create a classless society through state control of resources and industries. Education and healthcare were prioritized, leading to improved literacy and public health, but political repression and limited personal freedoms were also prevalent during this time.
