How did the Kremlin control the USSR? That's the soft ball question you're giving me?
The kremlin controlled the USSR with corruption, coercion, violence, oppression, brutality, deportations, summary executions, gulag network, forced labour, invasion, deliberate starvation. just some of the policies of the Kremlin to keep the USSR under control.
Clear enough for you buddy?
Your arguments are getting weaker man. Disappointing, really.
