All societies have inequalities, winners and losers. What was the face of extreme poverty in the Soviet Union? Who were the poorest of the poor, and what was their story?
Additional question: As an officially socialist state, the USSR claimed to have abolished unemployment and homelessness. How true was this in, say, 1953? And at the same time, before the Khrushchevite reforms, how wealthy were the richest? Did party officials have much wealth like in the later USSR?
