Soviet

A soviet is a council made of workers, soldiers, and peasants. After the Czars, cities started to use soviets in the government. It helped the people get involved in the government. At first, the soviets had a great influence over the government, but as Stalin came to power, the soviets lost the influence over the government that they once had.
