A). controlled all forms of communication.
Under the Soviet system, the government maintained strict control over all forms of communication. This included not only newspapers, but also radio, television, film, literature, and even personal correspondence in some cases. The government used this control to promote its own propaganda, to suppress dissenting opinions, and to keep a tight grip on the information that the public received. Independent journalism and free press were not features of the Soviet media landscape, and censorship was commonplace.
