Individual citizens were most impacted by collectivism in the Soviet Union. The government promoted collectivism as a central tenet of Soviet society, emphasizing the importance of working for the common good of the state rather than pursuing individual goals. This impacted every aspect of people's lives, from their education and careers to their personal relationships and daily activities. The state controlled many aspects of society, including the economy, media, and cultural institutions, in order to promote collectivist ideals and ensure loyalty to the government. Individual freedoms and opportunities were limited as a result of this focus on collectivism.
