Topic 8A RAFT 19A Describe the global surge in economic productivity during the Cold War and describe its consequences. A. the rise in living standards:

The living standards in Russia grew worse overall after the Cold War, even though the economy resumed its growth.

Nikita Khrushchev raised the living standards of of the people of the USSR in 1953.

They made more money and were able to increase the standard that people lived with the increase of people they got to work.

Nikita Khrushev used Stalin's established technique to divide and conquer his rivals, replace them with his own people, and emerge as the undisputed leader of the Soviet Union, with the difference that he did not kill these people, but had them assigned to such faraway and harmless posts.

The organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) was considered the developed world because of the higher living standards and the very good economic, political, and social structure.

After the war ended in 1991,the Russian economy was on a huge uprising. During the Cold War the country was more unified which helped the economic growth and higher living standards also the race to get to outer space created higher living standards. During the Cold War communists parties throughout Western Europe had gained popularity in their resistance to Nazi occupation.

The Russian Government forced the people into work.

The more that they got the people to work, they made more money and were able to raise there standard of living.

The living standards in Russia worsened after World War II. Russia had lost a lot of people from WW2.

After WW2 and during the cold war, there were great rises in living standards due to the fact that the soviet union expanded its slumping economy.

The productive capability that advanced society has achieved, enabling mankind to produce an abundance for everyone, is based upon social production on a highly industrialized level. This is a material condition that took a capitalist economic system to develop.

There was a lot of money spent during World War II and for the Cold War the military spent over 10 billion dollars.

After the Cold War, Russia was able to gain back their economy, but their living standards did not improve much at all.

The standards of living in the U.S. were better, while Russia's standard of living grew worse. People in Russia were still being suppressed under communism and the iron fist. People were incredibly poor and starving and everyday things like bread, water and toilet paper were rationed out and people waited in lines for a long time for these necessities. It wasn't until the end of the Cold War, and the fall of communism that the Soviet Union begin to see a change for the better.

the 1980s, the United States increased diplomatic, military, and economic pressures on the Soviet Union, at a time when the nation was already suffering economic stagariton
