The USSR prohibited its citizens from engaging in the following activities:
- practicing a specific religion (while the government did not prohibit all religions outright, it heavily restricted and persecuted many religious practices)
- speaking against the government
- demanding a right to privacy (in practice, state surveillance was common and individuals had little to no expectation of privacy)
- calling for freedom of the press
The other two options, "joining the armed forces" and "becoming atheists," were not prohibited activities. In fact, becoming an atheist was often encouraged by the state, and joining the armed forces was a common duty for citizens.
