Under Stalin, Russia was a command economy
And everything that the citizens owned Homes and their land were controlled by the government They controlled the production, prices, investments and income Stalin wanted to do anything in his power to take control Under Gorbachev he changed Russia Making Russia a mixed economy where the government owns parts of land Gorbachev wanted to move to a market socialist economy for years But instead failed Then set of a process of political and economical crisis Which lead to the fall of the Soviet Union
