b)denied citizens basic human rights.

c)returned to a system of private ownership.

d)All of the choices are correct.

Answer 1

b) denied citizens basic human rights.

Step-by-step explanation:

Joseph Stalin, who was the leader of the Soviet Union from 1922 until his death in 1953, implemented a series of policies that were characterized by authoritarian rule, repression, and widespread human rights abuses. Under Stalin, the Soviet government denied its citizens basic human rights, including freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and the right to a fair trial. Instead, Stalin established a one-party dictatorship and used the state security apparatus, including the secret police, to silence opposition and maintain his grip on power.
