A New Russia (1921-1935)

Following the incidents of WW1, Russia was in major turmoil politically. A new union style of government was to be implemented where five members of a political committee would form what was known as a Politburo. The Politburo functioned as the central policymaking and governing body of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. Collectively known as the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) or Soviet Union for short. This new union established new policies transforming the economy, religions beliefs, and the social lives of Russians. From the changes, abortion was made legal, divorce no longer required court procedure, and women were encouraged to get an education.
