The non-compliant states included Byelorussia, U. Communism had gained some strides and could make people of the Soviet of union completely as well as equal to one another. It happened that it was not going on well hence there was still the class of system that existed. The leaders of the non-complaint states used to eat plenty while the citizens starved as the economy attempted to fluctuate and the price of the food products increased.
