What was the impact of the Second World War on the Soviet Union? World War Two had a dramatic impact on the Soviet Union for a number of reasons. The outbreak of World War Two had an impact on Stalin’s leadership in that he moved away from Communism in order to appeal to the masses and publicised the idea of a greater Russian nationalism. He did this to motivate the country so that industry could increase, the five year plans were switched to weapons instead of consumer goods. People were to put in more effort and make sacrifices. Men would join the Army, women work in factories ect. They called the Second World War; The Great Patriotic War. The word patriotic is a very capitalist and would not imply Communism. This shows how the countries mentally briefly changed during the duration of the Second World War in order for victory. There was a strategic shift in foreign policy relations of the USSR during World War Two in that the Nazi-Soviet anathema was forgotten and ripped up as “Uncle Joe” became a firm ally of the U.K.
