Options

1917
1918
Solution
1917
Explanation:
Following Russia's socialist revolution in 1917, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) was formed. The ideals of socialism, as opposed to capitalism, inspired the revolution, as did the need for an egalitarian society. This was possibly the most significant attempt in human history to abolish the institution of private property and consciously design a society based on equality principles. In doing so, the Soviet system's architects prioritized the state and the party's institution. The Soviet political system was centered on the communist party, with no room for any other political party or opposition. The state planned and controlled the economy.
