	SHOULD USSR CONTINUE
		While USSR may be planned by the school to begin at a certain time for a relatively short session each day, extensive reading may be done independently by the pupils any time and at their leisure.
		Some tell-tale signs of the mass USSR losing its efficacy are the visible restlessness of pupils, the random flipping of the pages of books brought in for the reading session, the disinterested look on the readers' faces, the unhealthy competition among readers for more physical space in a crowded reading area, and so forth.
		Whichever the reading scenario, are the schools really doing justice to the USSR?

	Joseph Stalin killer file
		The USSR, a union of the Russian, Belorussian, Ukrainian, and Transcaucasian republics, is established in December 1922.
		Thousands of people from across the USSR flock to Moscow to view his body as it lies in state, culminating in a stampede that kills hundreds rushing to pay their last respects.

	USSR: History

		Utilizing the threat of its military force, the USSR violated these agreements and made a sustained assault on the political, economic, and social structures of the occupied Soviet borderlands.

	ENDANGERED SPECIES PROTECTION AND ECONOMIC CHANGE IN THE FORMER USSR
		Critics of the soviet system charged that two deficiencies in particular impaired the USSR from creating a valid system of biodiversity maintenance: (1) lack of access to public funds, information, and political power for grassroots environmental movements and (2) a flawed economic system in which private ownership rights for resources and land were not established.
		In terms of the goods news, the USSR was able to reestablish species on the brink of extinction, such as the European bison and Przhevalski Horse and publish a series of Red Books of endangered species for most union republics.
		Green Party movements in the former USSR were often linked to anti-Russian, pro-nationalist fervor, and it remains to be seen whether a true environmental Consciousness, particularly under a revival of Islam, will take flower in the new states.

	Gabriel: Policy on the USSR and Stalinism (1945)
		Thus every attempt to identify the property regime in the USSR as state capitalism, or to maintain that this regime as it exists can be incorporated by a “cold method” in a capitalist regime, flows from a total misconception of the nature of capitalism.
		What is false at the present stage of the evolution of the USSR is to maintain that its defense is dictated chiefly by its sociological and political characteristics: “workers state,” “outpost of the revolution,” and the like.
		During the war the main preoccupation of the Soviet bureaucracy was to avert the annihilation of the regime of statified and planned economy in the USSR on which its existence depends, and to mobilize the maximum forces against German imperialism which attacked it directly.

	Aggression Against the USSR
		That political aim may be described as the elimination of the USSR as a powerful political factor in Europe, and the acquisition of Lebensraum.
		This memorandum speculates on the possibility of a disagreement with the USSR which would result in a quick occupation of an important part of that country.
		Equally elaborate planning was engaged in by the Nazi conspirators to insure the effectuation of the political aim of their aggression.

	Modern History Sourcebook: USA and USSR: Exchange of Notes on the Berlin Wall, 1961
		Such a pretension is in itself a violation of the solemnly pledged word of the USSR in the Agreement on the Zones of Occupation in Germany and the administration of Greater Berlin.
		The United States Government notes that the powers which associated themselves with the USSR by signing the Warsaw Pact are thus intervening in a domain in which they have no competence.

		The English lyrics given are the lyrics meant to be sung to the tune, also provided are the English translation of the Russian lyrics.

	Theories of the USSR in light of its collapse
		The successes in the USSR and in Eastern Europe in the field of education and industrialisation meant that working people and the middle layers were far above the cultural level of the masses of the USSR when Stalin consolidated the power of the bureaucracy in the late 1920s.
		The theory that the USSR was bureaucratic collectivism held that the bureaucracy had become a ruling class of a new type.
		As the totalitarian grip was relaxed under Gorbachev, the USSR’s long oppressed national minorities began to demand their rights, which led to the plans to hold a referendum on the continued existence of the Soviet Union itself.

	Soviet-Empire.com - Chernenko, Konstantin Ustinovich

		These words are used by the USSR to describe relations between the Soviet Union and the East Bloc states.

	Gorbachev Speech Dissolving the Soviet Union (USSR): Christmas 1991
		In this Christmas 1991 (western Christendom date) speech, Mikhael S. Gorbachev resigned as president of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR).
		Addressing you for the last time in the capacity of president of the U.S.S.R., I consider it necessary to express my evaluation of the road we have traveled since 1985, especially as there are a lot of contradictory, superficial and subjective judgments on that matter.
		This action was the final act in a peaceful dissolution of this communist (socialist) nation that had been borne out of the October 1917 revolution.
